Of the three failed attempts, one was.....OUR cat!! About 8 years ago, I climbed after her and she JUMPED from about 30 feet. We REALLY thought she had injured herself. Made a terrible sound. But 8 years later, she is a 9 year old fat snot!LOL The other two......One was rescued by a tree surgeon and the other simply came down after 4 days. Some guys on the job hate doing it but I love cat rescues. I DOOOOOO wear my nomex hood, jacket and gloves to prevent blood loss! LOL
