Cat rescued after two weeks on top of palm tree

Residents of a small town in Chile, South America, organised a massive rescue to save a cat that had been stuck on top of a 20-metre-tall (65-feet) palm tree for two weeks.





The team used ladders, ropes and even a slide in their attempt to rescue the feline in distress. But after several failed attempts, a week later they managed to set up a scaffold with a cage containing food and water to attract the cat.





After a lot of patience, the cat was finally tempted down, and rushed to a nearby vet to receive food and fluids. Veterinarian Victor Mellado said he was surprised by the cat's good health after such a long period without food or water.

"It was really nervous when it got here, feeling a bit scared because of the entire operation, but in a pretty good condition compared to what we expected," he said. Onlookers said the cat probably survived by eating birds or their eggs.

Wow, a palm tree with 65 feet.
I wonder how tall it was.

I guess you're too dumb to figure it out. You must have everything spoon fed to you for you to understand it. Such a shame.

Now shak, it's not nice to pick on retarded folks.

The cat was in good health because it climbed down every night after dark to eat and drink.
