Why do the english make such a fuss,how many times have you seen a cats skeleton in your travels,when it is hungry,it will climb down on its own,without 5 fire engines,a turn table,3 police cars,a PCSO,the Rspca,the local radio station,two local TV Channels cutting in live to their reporter on the ground,the whole street looking up in aghast and shock,kids in tears for the safety of Fred the moggy,of number 11 Acacia avenue,the owner later says,Fred will be locked in tonight for being a naughty cat.
I think they don’t.
A couple of years ago a mate of mine rang me on Christmas Eve to ask if I’d get this cat down from a tree. It’d been there a day or two and was making a load of noise. Fire service wouldn’t do anything, like you say you don’t see dead cats in trees.
I was working as a tree surgeon at the time so the climbing wasn’t a problem but I had no transport. My mate came and picked me up on Christmas morning in a howling gale, climbed this tree, rescued said cat and climbed down. Cat disappears and I get a round of appllause and a load of booze from gratified neighbours.
Happy days.
The fire service won’t turn out to ‘cats up trees’ unless requested to by the RSCPCA. The fire service will then charge the RSPCA for the use if equipment and manpower, it’s classed as a chargeable special service.

They are not stuck they are just worried about jumping down, why should a fire fighter have to rescue a cat?
You can tice them down with a bag of treats.
Maybe Diesel the cat was worth climbing up for,the ball bearing gun is very funny,made i larf.
At the end of the day it’s not worth risking your neck for a cat, they always eventually come down.

Fried cocker spaniel, are you mad?
Much better to roast slowly.
I prefer the Rotweiler Ratouile.
