Cat in a tree rescue - Spicy

Okay we have Spicy. Where are you Spicy? Way out on the end of this limb up here. Ash tree. Mushrooms growing out of it. Spicy's been up there for five days. And Spicy is okay with strangers? He'll come to strangers? Yeah. Chinquapin right there. When I arrived, Spicy was walking back and forth on that high limb. So we decided to set a basket up there for him to climb into. Hey Spicy. Alas, he walked out to the very end of the limb and planted himself there, never approaching the basket. Kitty, kitty, kitty. Hey Spicy. There's a lot of dead limbs right here. It's okay, Spicy. Come here, kitty. Kitty, kitty, kitty. Okay, I'm almost ready to start talking to him. Okay, Spicy. Come here, buddy. Come here, kitty. Come here, Spicy. Okay, it might be the box. Yeah.

Okay, Nicole, I want you to get underneath me and catch the bag. Just catch the bag and then cradle him like a baby. Don't hold the bag up. Just stay close to me because there's a stream and then I'll help you get him into the carrier. Yeah, I figured just to make sure, check him out. Yeah. Any ticks and fleas too. He's so big. Yeah, that's why I was like, I think he's two because he was really tiny when I got him. He said he was like six, seven weeks. He's a big boy. All right, let's see this boy. He didn't try to fight me at all. He was just scared. Yeah. Hey, big fella. Oh, he's gonna be happier now that he's not in that tree. Yep. Okay, we're gonna stand this up on end. Yeah.
