The cat was at the top of a tree. The branches up there aren't very big... he was literally hanging on by his claws, and had been since he got up there. He absolutely would have fallen out of the tree, regardless of whether someone attempted to rescue him or not.
There is absolutely no way that he was going to be permitted to stay in a tree, in below freezing temperatures, overnight. From the position that he had managed to get himself into (Moose was not upright) while searching for his own way down, he absolutely needed to be rescued, and I thank Chris for the attempt.
We attempted to rig up a pulley system with the cat carrier and a rope, but moose fell about a minute before we were going to throw the rope up.
