Most cat owners will know how much a cat likes to explore.
But this brave feline probably took it a step too far and was stuck on top of a giant cactus for at least three days without food or water.
... the black and brown house cat managed to climb 20ft up.
Some experts claimed it would be far too dangerous to try and attempt to rescue the cat and firefighters said it would eventually come down on its own.
It seems they were right, because the moggy suddenly had a change of heart and decided to make its way down while being filmed by Fox9 TV crews.
Apart from a few sore paws, the cat appeared in good health.

Would this classify the kitty as being ‘stuck up’?

I saw this on TV, and I have no clue how or why the kitteh got up there. The needles running up Saguaros are nasty!
BTW, “Fox 9?” It says “Fox 10” right on the pic.

Just backs up the old saw that “You’ll never see a dead cat up a tree”. Why? When he gets hungry enough he’ll come down...he’ll come down...Stevie666

All's well that ends well. I hope that his owners were able to find and remove all the spines.

My late JRT once ran through a patch of jumping cholla and came out with a piece embedded in her belly. Didn’t even slow her down, but scared the tar out of me. (A brief session with a pliers put everything right.)

We just recently got a Jack Russel and they are amazing, pound for pound the toughest dog I’ve ever seen.

It needs a Cat Balloon, (great movie) or

That cat was probably chased up. A German Shepherd chased my kitty up a chain link fence where he got stuck on top of a pole (about 15 feet up) for about an hour. When he finally got the nerve to come off the fence, he took off and hid for about 18 hours before he got the nerve to come back home.
