NY Cop Gets Stuck In Tree Trying To Save Cat

Firefighters get quite the chuckle when called to rescue NYPD officer

A New York City police officer is forced to make an embarrassing 911 call after getting stuck in a tree while trying to save a cat. Officer Dane Natto responded to several 911 calls about a cat stuck up in a tree on Monday. He set up cones around the tree in Queens and lit a flare, and was soon surrounded by elementary school students, the New York Post reported.

The cat repeatedly bound away from Natto, even when he climbed up the tree in an attempt to snatch it down. Soon, Natto found himself stuck and, after a good laugh, his partner called 911. When firefighters did arrive, "they didn’t go straight to helping him," a witness told the Post. "They all gathered around and laughed at him. They took their time just crowding around. It seemed the officer was enjoying himself." Firefighters eventually used a bucket ladder to free the kitty and Natto, The Associated Press reported.

i don't understand why people think that cats get "stuck" in trees - they are just trying to find out if anyone is stupid enough to try come up after them, it is purely for their own amusement and they can come down whenever they want.

Not all cats can, we had a cat disappear, after a few days we found she was up a tree half starved, so I had to go up a ladder to get her down.

Oh man. I was in NYC when that happened! Wish I could have seen that. Hehe. But that was when Obama was in the city and traffic was ugly that day.
