News Alert: Cat in Tree Climbs Down of Its Own Accord

It seems there's one installment left in this saga.

We knew yesterday the for several days was no longer in the tree. .

But now we know why.

It just decided to come down, according to 11Alive.

From a report this morning on the TV news station's site:

The cat finally climbed down from the tree.  "After a week and a half, and after all that everybody tried to do for it, it just decided to come down by itself," said Jessica Smith, the mother of the kids who were trying to find someone to help rescue the cat.  Ms. Smith says she was outside at about 5:00 a.m. and saw the cat climb down the pine trunk and run away.  The Smiths think they have identified the cat's owner, and hope to find out that the cat ran home.

There's also a video with the 11Alive story you can watch. So, the story seems to have a happy ending. We're pretty sure this is the last one. Unless we get in touch with the owner. Then we're gonna have to throw another update at you. Because we can't get enough of this story. Yes, yes, we know there are other stories to be done. We don't care. There was a cat in a tree. A hundred feet up. (According to 11 Alive. We estimated 30 to 40 feet, but we're terrible at judging distance.)

We also talk in the third person for some reason.

So, if you're the owner, get in touch: jonathan.cribbs@patch.com.
