Jackson climbed up a tree last Thursday evening and has been there ever since, until just a few moments ago. We had tried everything to coax him down, but to no avail. Every time Dad started to get close to him on the end of a very tall ladder, he would simply run up the tree higher. We tried the fire department in Tulelake, and they said they might come, but never did. The power company said they wouldn't have a truck out here all week so that was a no-go. The tree has some rot in it so it is too dangerous to climb, because the large branches just fall off of it sometimes. Dad tried the tree trimmer neighbor down the road but he wasn't home. We were resigned to the fact that the cat would probably die in the tree, but tonight after work Dad finally got ahold of the neighbor ,(Porter) and he came down and was able to get the cat, literally by the scruff of the neck. Jackson ran for his food and water dish, and I stroked him for quite awhile. I think he might have used at least half of his nine lives on this one. My sick stomach of4 days and nights sure feels a lot better tonight. Jackson...you dummy!!!

A few months from now you will get quite the chuckle!! Thanks for stealing the drama from my life...by the way Mitsey caught mouse number 6...where on earth is she getting them?? Close by that's all I know...now drama back on me. So glad he is out of the tree!
Oh what a relief...that darn stubborn cat! It looks like he's alright though...could have standed to lose a few pounds maybe?
Silly cat!!! Great photographic footage! I'm so glad he's safe and finally out of that tree!
