the biggest problem is that there was no stable way to get up there. The only thing near enough to reach was the tree, and it was pretty thin: If they stuck a ground ladder up there, and the cat flips and bounces off the person (he's a 15 pound cat) then the ladder tips.... you've got one seriously fucked up fireman.
Animal Rescue League basically said "we can't do it tonight, they usually come down within a couple hours once they realize they have to go down back legs first." (This was around 7) Of course, that would have been too late, regardless of my treeclimbing antics. So I can't feel too bad for that at least.
THere's so many things that could have gone better -- but at the same time, there's things (like landing on his back) that could have gone worse. So, jusut counting what blessings there are.
