Prada's Second Rescue

Prada is the sweetest cat I have ever rescued, so when I got the call that this six-year-old got stuck in the same tree a second time, I was happy to go rescue her again. Prada lives in Sunset, Louisiana with a family that includes two dogs, so when the dogs are let out into the backyard, Prada likes to try to escape with them. Her family has done a good job of preventing that, but they were out of town when Prada took advantage of the unsuspecting pet sitter and slipped out the door with the dogs. I don't know why she climbed the tree behind the fence, but there she was, and she was stuck for one night.

Prada was very happy to see me in the tree with her. After we reintroduced ourselves, she relaxed and started purring while walking around and repeatedly rubbing her head and face on my hands, arms, face, ropes, gear, tree, and my camera which is when you will especially be able to hear her purring in the video (below). She was so intent and persistent in rubbing her face on everything that I could not get her attention to step on my lap. When she eventually did so, I pulled the cat bag up around her to secure her inside for the ride back down to the ground. I returned her to the sitter who released her inside where she quickly resumed her reign over the household.

It's a joy to rescue a sweet kitty like Prada who not only feels appreciative and thankful but actually expresses it with constant affection. She is every rescuer's dream cat, so you can be sure that I will be happy to rescue her a third time if the need arises.
