It was too cold at high places. The kitten jumped off the cactus after 3 days (picture) (Alberta Times) They say curiosity killed the cat, but the recent behavior of a little black cat has made people even more curious: How did it get up to the 30.0-foot-tall cactus? Firefighters were called by local residents after a domestic cat climbed onto the top of a cactus in Saguaro Lake and stayed without food or water for three days. Unexpectedly, the firefighters were also helpless with the kitten. Experts said that rescuing the cat was quite dangerous and it was better to wait for it to come down on its own. Finally, three days later, the kitten seemed to have a change of heart and carefully climbed down the cactus. After examination, the kitten was in good health except for puncture wounds on its claws. It’s not unusual for cats to climb trees. Hey, cats in Arizona can climb cactus. It’s not that common in other places, right?
