One look at Kiki Nunu's face, and you will see a very sweet kitty who is very much loved. Look a little closer, and you will also see a hyperactive trouble-maker. This four-month-old kitty is full of energy and life, and she wants to do and experience everything. It was only a matter of time before she climbed the tree in the corner of her backyard in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and learned that she didn't know how to go back down. She showed no restraint in expressing her distress in being stuck up there, and she let the whole neighborhood know it. While it was a little tricky for me to get a rope installed in this tree, Kiki Nunu's rescue was otherwise quite easy. She was ready for me and needed no introductions. She quickly stepped on my lap, and I pulled the bag up around her and took her home. After she took a nap to recover from her sleepless night in the tree, she was ready to go find some more trouble.
After rescuing Kiki Nunu, I went to Denham Springs, Louisiana to rescue Biscuit, a four-and-a-half-year-old kitty who had been stuck in a skinny Tallow tree in the woods behind her house for three nights. Sara found her missing kitty the night before and was very anxious to get her down. The tree wasn't attractive for climbing, so I chose to install my rope on a large, arching limb from a nearby large tree and pull myself over to Biscuit. Sara described Biscuit as a docile girl, and she was right. Nothing I did seem to elicit any response from Biscuit, but then she may have just been tired from sitting in that same spot for three days and nights. She wasn't uncomfortable with me at all, so, once I was in position, I spread the bottom of the cat bag over my lap, picked her up and placed her on my lap. As you will see in the video (below), she was reluctant to let go of the spot where she had been safe for the past three days, but she settled calmly on my lap very quickly. I pulled the bag up around her and took her home where she recovered and fully enjoyed getting to sleep in a soft, spacious and comfortable bed.
