Poor kitty! Hope she'll be all right.
saw this on local KSTP tv last night.
reminded me of the "Fall Guy"... I'm the unknown stunt cat
that makes Eastwood look so good"...
Probably Bush's fault that the cat got up there in the first place. He lied and told the cat that there were Pounce treats up there.

9 lives.
Obviously, somebody didn't use enough lighter fluid.
Further proof that cats are agents of the unholy one.
Cats are amazing animals. And they are very flexible. One of my cats has the ability to stick her paw under my bedroom door. There seems to be no room but shedoes it anyway.
I GIVE THE CAT A SEVEN FOR FORM..BUT A 10 FOR SURVIVING THE FALL!

"Oh, what the hell. Scream and leap!"
Sometimes you can't talk 'em down. Sometimes they're just looking for an audience before they jump.
The cat was up there for a week? Didn't anybody have a rifle?
ROTL.
Funniest keyword for a thread in a long time.
Must have been drunk to survive that fall.
This cat is from SC according to Fox News.
SUMMERVILLE, S.C. -- For Rodney and Scottie Colvin, it was been a nerve-racking eight days. Their cat, "Piper," scampered up a tree in the yard of their Summerville, South Carolina home last Monday, March 13.
Efforts to coax the animal down failed. A week later, on Monday, March 20, would-be rescuers came to Piper's aid. Then, something went terribly wrong, but this time all was okay in the end.
The cat fell nearly 80 feet, clipped a branch on the way down and then landed on its feet and ran away. Piper, no doubt, used up at least a couple of his feline nine lives, but otherwise appeared to have survived the ordeal without serious injuries.
"I am scared to death, but at least she's down and she's running, so I know she's alive and thank you everybody for coming out," Scottie Colvin said.
"She's part of the family. She needs her eye looked at. It's really infected while she was up there. She seems to be pretty strong right now. She's not favoring her ribs where she broke that limb when she fell down. Take her to the vet, that's where we're headed now," Rodney Colvin said.
Actually, cats have a better chance of surviving a long fall than a short one. Note the flying squirrel posture. After a week without eating, the weight was down.
