Those are scary heights. Brave little Casper. Was your heart not in your mouth watching him?

Re: Casper - Branching Out


At the time ...yes as he was just a baby but what can you do if you decide to give total freedom other than just watch them find their way in the world.

Watch this space..........he's getting even braver.....

Re: Casper - Branching Out


Fab photos They're just fearless as youngsters!

I remember years ago my burmese X raced up the big chestnut tree on the Green in the middle of our cul de sac. He got almost to the top & sat there meowing at us. We were just about to leave for work, all dressed up in our work suits & I said tomy husband that I couldn't leave with Fintan stuck up a tree. So hubby went indoors, changed into old jeans, fetched the step ladders & propped them against the tree. He stoically climbed up the ladder to where the branches divided, then scrabbled further up to almost within touching distance of Fintan. At that Fintan gave a little chirrup & lithely skipped all the way down the tree

At which point we heard all these cheers & clapping & realised that all our neighbours were watching my husband's futile attempt to "rescue" Fintan!! Never again did I worry about Fintan getting stuck!

Re: Casper - Branching Out


Oh Casper, you daring little thing...
Was at the vets yesterday and there is a man who left business card for rescuing cats out of trees (humane society, fire department, etc. does nothing and people don't know what to do so he created a service!)

Re: Casper - Branching Out


Great Story Wilbar.

Casper is turning out to be quite a climber but so far he's not got himself stuck.
