Cat Survives 2 storms in 9 Days up a Tree
It took nine days for Buster the cat to get out of a 150-foot-tall loblolly pine in northwestern South Carolina.
Buster’s owner, Linda Megretto, said she expected to find him dead on the ground Monday morning, but her husband, Andrew, climbed to the top of a 40-foot ladder and coaxed the cat down. The cat stayed in the tree through two storms and found safe.
Linda called the humane Society, fire department, police but none of them couldn't help rescue her cat even the animal control. The couple was so upset and aren't happy with local officials.
Buster got spooked when Megretto’s neighbor on Broadway Lake Road, not sure what his dog was barking at, rousted the cat out from under his shed with a rake. Buster couldn’t figure out how to get back over the neighbor’s fence so chose the pine tree for escape. He climbed up about 50 feet past the tree’s lowest branch. When a neighbor boy tried to reach him from the ladder, he climbed another 50 feet.
