way up in the tree
is that a catbird i see?
no! birds don’t meow!! 🦊❤️

 As I was walking to the park yesterday, I encountered two sort of old, lost looking trout fishermen. They were attempting to get to the creek by trekking through thick underbrush where there was no way to get to the creek. I redirected them to the little trail head.  I was then immediately aware of a rustling up a tree next to me. I looked up and there was a cat marooned in the tree seeming to be unable to get down. I thought it would be able to either crawl down or jump down. I got its attention and stood in a spot where there could be a safe landing. I said over and over, “Come on kitty, you can make it!” After lurching forward and then retreating back into the tree a few times,  the cat finally leaped and landed in my selected touch down zone. I was exhausted from a hard morning of helping man and creature. Lol 🦊❤️
