A 17 year old teenager named Owen was trying to good something good for a cat that was trapped on a tree branch above the ground on Saturday afternoon when the teen who was able to climb the tree realized that he could not climb down from the tree branch at a height of 35 feet above the ground without suffering any serious injuries from the fall. My guess is that either Owen or someone in the neighborhood contacted 911 to send help to rescue Owen who even though he had good intentions of rescuing a cat who climbed a tree, he realized that he bit off more than he chew. Firefighters from the Indianapolis Fire Department came to rescue Owen on Saturday afternoon by using a ladder to get Owen off of the tree branch to the ground where he was by the firefighters medical team who released Owen to his parents with a few scrapes. What is really odd about this incident is that after Owen was rescued by the firefighters in about one hour is that the cat he attempted to rescue from a tree branch disappeared from view.

I don’t believe a cat needs-to Be rescued from a tree. They can always come down when they are ready. Of course the boy was trying to do a good deed.

I agree with you that cats do have the instincts to come down from a tree safely.

@Deepizzaguy But evidently everyone doesn’t know it. The boy was trying to do a good deed.

Owen was certainly a long way up that tree! I guess the cat got down itself.

@Deepizzaguy That would be just like a cat to get itself down after causing all that trouble!!

Most likely since the whereabouts of the cat are not known after Owen was rescued by the firefighters.
