Chased by a couple of dogs, the cat ran up a tree. Not just high enough to be out of reach of the dogs; she climbed around 50 feet up. That was eight this morning. By ten, she’d somehow managed to jump to a lower limb in a neighboring tree, but that was it: since then, she hasn’t moved.

How long can cats stay in a tree? I asked the internet and got a wide range of answers, from 3 days to 10 days.

“In heat like this?” K asked?

Likely not.
