Up a Tree

Poom scooted up the alder tree this afternoon while we were watering. 


As is the way with cats, he made it up in grand style...

...but coming back down again was a different matter.



No matter which way he tried to rearrange himself in the tree,

he simply couldn't get himself situated in a position where he felt comfortable jumping down.

All ways seemed equally wrong.

Until Dad came, put up his big bear paws, and cradled him right down to solid ground. 



Poom was very grateful and gave him only a very small scratch on the way down.
