For the most par, Hank, a two-year-old tan-and-white rescue cat, is a homebody — and for good reason. The one time he got out his yard in Washington, DC, he managed to get stuck in a 12-metre-tall tree for two days with no food or water.
Hank's big adventure stared last November 6. Delores Bushong, his 75 year-old owner, bad just returned from a farmers market when she realized Hank hadn't come in for his midday snack She called his name in alleys and streets around her home. As it got dark, she began to worry. Then she heard mewing,looked up,and spotted Hank,perched on a branch near tiie top of a neighbor's tree.
Busbong believes Hank got under a fence and then became scared by some dogs. The more scared he got the higher he climbed.
nCats have an amazing ability to climb up trees, but actually they aren't that good at climbing down,'' said Dan D'Eramo, director of field services for the Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA).
Bushong now worried about getting Hank down, asked the HRA to take the lead, but it was no easy task HRA called the fire department, but it refused to help, citing safety concerns. Then Bushong called a construction company to ask about renting scaffolding (脚手架) but was told she would have to book the equipment 48 days in advance.
