West Haven (WTNH) - A West Haven cat remains stuck in a precarious place.

Tigger has been stuck high-up in a tree on Canton Street. His owner, Chris Green, told News Channel 8 the cat climbed up there on his own this past weekend and is now too scared to come down.

The cat is clinging to one of the huge tree's thinner branches, around 100 feet up, and all the while he's crying out, apparently frightened.

"I've been trying to shake food, get up on a ladder," said Green. "I called police, fire, the humane society. They said it got up, it will come down."

Joe, I commend you for having the sense to not post this in Breaking News. You’re head and shoulders above most other FReepers. May God have mercy on the cat.

I asked our Fire Commissioner whose first alarm he answered was the Hotel Vendome, if he ever found a cat skeleton in a tree. He said no.

Cut the tree down. The odds are in the cats favor of living through it, and the best thing is that it won’t go up in that tree again.

Hey idiot cat-owner: call a tree service. They have guys who climb trees for a living.

Can cats survive a hundred foot jump?

Tigger has been stuck high-up in a tree on Canton Street

Why doesn't Tigger just bounce himself out?

I remember hearing that "bouncing is what Tiggers do best!"

I'm sorry, but this reminds me of those begging for help after getting themselves into trouble with their mortgages.

Cats are like liberals, they do what they want and expect us to bail them out when consequences loom.

Nobody enjoys watching the consequences. I hope the cat comes down so no humans have risk their lives to try and save it.

I think it will come down by itself it they just tell the Chinese cook with the meat cleaver to go back to his restaurant.

I recommend putting a big trampoline at the base of the tree in case Kitty falls asleep and loses its grip and comes down that way. Hopefully it will land on the trampoline.

I should also add that the tree service fellow could carefully prune the branch the cat is clinging too while it is secured by rope, then pull the branch in or lower it to the ground.

Joe said it was a “file photo”, no harm, no foul.
