Second rescue of the day brought me to Athens, Ohio. It was #internationalcatday driving 400miles to rescue 3 #cats from trees around the state. Cazimi was scared out of his harness by the neighbor’s dog. Cazz is a skittish cat that does not deal with strangers so things got a little hairy there for a while. I loved these folks and I love Julia’s shirt “Big Fan of Human Rights” 💜
Julia shares the story of her rescue cat, Kazzy, named after the astronomical phenomenon \"cacazimi\" (conjunction). The video follows an attempt to lure Kazzy down from a tree using his favorite treat, \"chicken dinner,\" eventually resulting in a successful rescue using a bag to safely bring the cat down.
Okay, Julia, what's your cat's name?
Kazzy, yeah, tell me how they got that name
Well, I rescued him on a day that there was a Kazemi. Do you know what that is?
I can't wait to find out it's when a planet is so close to the Sun
It's considered to be in conjunction and it's so close. They call it a Kazemi Wow
So the planet Jupiter was close to the Sun the day I adopted him
So I I named him Kazemi and Kaz the first order Kaz. Yeah
I love it. He doesn't roam around
All right, what is this tell me about it chicken dinner and it's his favorite thing to eat and he goes crazy for it
Usually okay. Can't guarantee that you will right now, but he is probably starving. Okay, you want me to leave it open?
No, I'll just put it in this bag
That's kind of slimy, isn't it? Yeah
Okay, here we go
When you call for him like if he's in the house and you're like, it's dinner time. How do you call for him?
