Rescuers in Disbelief as Cat Bolts Up Second Tree After Being Saved From First

Richard Duane Hook is a dab hand at getting cats out of trees, but he met one unappreciative kitty client recently, with video showing the cat bolting up a second tree immediately after being rescued from the first.

Hook was praising the “nice catch” as the cat landed safely in a sheet being held below him, when the cat jumped out and bolted for the second tree.

“Don’t go back up that tree,” someone shouts amid the disbelief.

Hook wrote on Instagram that this was “Cattitude level 10,” but told Storyful the cat was safely rescued from the second tree without resistance. Credit: Richard Duane Hook via Storyful
