The cat and the tree

Yes. Smokey climbed a tree. 

Can you believe I was taking pictures instead of trying to get him down? This is not the first time Smokey has jumped up a tree. The other times, he aborted halfway. This time he kept going up. Maybe it was time to clip his nails? 

Up he goes.  


He just kept going up.



Smokey doesn't look scared at all does he? In fact, I would say he was enjoying himself as he meandered up the tree branch and gnawed on some little twigs on the way. Meanwhile, I am down below, exhorting him to come down (and, ahem, taking photos). A neighbor came by and said that the scene looked like the classic little girl standing below a tree trying to get her cat down.

At least we didn't have to call the firefighters. Smokey came down himself, easy peasy.

I'm not sure I would let Smokey go up again, but then I'm not sure how I can prevent him from climbing the tree...just like I can't seem to prevent him from going under cars.
