The nine-to-five grind can seem like an eternity sometimes, especially when the guy in the next cubicle bathes in cologne and cranks up talk radio all day. But imagine how much worse it would be if you had to spend that workweek trapped in a tree.<\/p>\n

\"Rescuer<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what happened to Wendy, a stray cat in North Carolina. Maybe she was being chased by a dog\u2014or perhaps an evil pirate or a crocodile. Whoever or whatever it was, it must have been very scary, because she scampered 60 feet up a tree to get away from it and she wasn\u2019t about to risk running into it again.<\/p>\n

\"Close-up<\/p>\n

One day went by, then two \u2026 then three \u2026 then four, and she still refused to come down.<\/p>\n

\"Wendy<\/p>\n

A neighbor who had noticed Wendy\u2019s predicament was becoming increasingly worried. How long could she survive up there without food or water? What if she lost her balance and fell? In desperation, the person called PETA\u2019s emergency pager<\/a> (we\u2019re on call 24 hours a day) to ask for help.<\/p>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

We immediately set about arranging for a tree climber to retrieve Wendy. Everything went well\u2014at first. But just as the climber was inching closer to her precarious perch, the cat panicked and the unthinkable happened. As her rescuers watched in disbelief, she leaped into a second tree!<\/p>\n
