Cats in Trees

I just looked out my window to see three girls standing at the base of a tree holding a sweatshirt among the three of them. It wasn't hard to figure out what was going on. Cat stuck up in tree. Hilarious to think that these girls thought the cat would be smart enough to understand what they were doing and jump right into the outstretched sweatshirt. We have an electrical company at the end of our street, so we see a lot of their vans and trucks go by. Just as I notice this, one of their vans pull up. Two guys get out of their van and grab one of their ladders to set up against the tree, so that they can bring the cat down. It was like watching an old movie, seeing this electrical guy carry this little kitten down the ladder and hand it to one of the girls. With all of my pregnancy hormones flowing, I could feel my eyes welling up a bit (don't make fun of me, Caitlyn!!). It was really sweet.

But I have to wonder. Do they really need to be rescued? Cats get themselves up there. If you just leave them there, won't they eventually get themselves down?
