| NYPD Officer Tries to Help Cat in Tree, Gets Stuck |
| 2013-05-15 |
| [An Nahar] Authorities say a New York police officer who tried to rescue a cat stuck in a tree got caught himself and needed a little help getting back down to the ground. As far as I know, no cat has ever starved to death in a tree. The Fire Department of New York says it happened Monday afternoon in the borough of Queens. A call came in that a man attempting to get a cat out of a tree had gotten stuck. Fire department personnel used a bucket ladder to get the man and the cat down. The fire department says the man is a police officer. |

| #5 That is the standard law enforcement response to these requests. My father used it 30 years ago, my brother uses it now. |

| #4 Many years ago, one of our fire department dispatchers said something about never saw a cat skeleton in a tree to a woman who called about her cat up her tree. :-D He did get into a little trouble with the chief - who agreed with the sentiment, but the dispatcher was a crusty old SOB who sounded like (and was) a jerk. We all got a good laugh out of it (the remark, and the trouble). |
