It was not my cat. I am a member of my &#8220;Next Door Neighbor&#8221; network. And a lady had finally found her lost cat in her neighbor&#8217;s tree. It was reported to be about 25-30 feet up. So this lady reached out to the community.<\/p>\n<p>How can I get my cat out of the tree?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>People called around on her behalf.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>The fire department&#8212;no.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>The humane society&#8211;no.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>A tree service&#8212;yes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>The city&#8212;unknown.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I even looked up and found a directory for people who get cats out of trees. Yep! There really is such a thing.<\/p>\n<p>A lady tried to climb the tree but got only half way. She volunteered to have her 7 year old climb up today if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>A man said he could go and rent a condor lift on his way home from work. He asked that someone text him if that would be needed. About 24 minutes later, I sent the text.<\/p>\n<p>It was maybe 30 minutes later and a joyous message was sent. We got him.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span class=\"UFICommentBody\">My nephew nate engaged in an epic battle with &#8220;lil guy&#8221; up in the canopy, but was able to hand him down to me.. he got a couple of good swipes in on us both.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Turns out &#8220;Lil Guy&#8221; is a 28 pound cat. And if you have ever had to deal with an angry and scared cat, you can imagine how nasty that cat just may have been.<\/p>\n<p>And the man, Mike, and his nephew Nate, well, they are heroes in our, those following the drama, book.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the point. We, a bunch of strangers from all around town, came together. We know nothing about one another except that we all cared about Lil Guy. A few of us even offered to chip in to the $400 fee if the tree service guy was called.<\/p>\n<p>We knew nothing about political opinion, religion or any thing else that is used to \u00a0divide. We just wanted a cat to get home. We wanted the cat to get water and food, and be in his owner&#8217;s lap.<\/p>\n<p>I have said it more than once before. I will say it again. The world is just one community after another. Let us take care of our communities. If we would all come together in <strong>community unity<\/strong>, what pleasure there would be.<\/p>\n<p>I know. not everyone will be willing to participate. Some people just want to disrupt life. But let us not have that stop us.<\/p>\n<p>After the cat got out of the tree, everyone was so excited. We cheered! We thanked everyone for their contribution. For, we all played a part. We all helped according to our ability. Everyone felt great. Everyone felt the love of community.<\/p>\n<p>We are a community. We are all connected. We rock!<\/p>\n<p>Wishing you a wonderful day.<\/p>\n<p>Lisa Y. , Life Coach<\/p>\n<p>www.facebook.com\/lisaylifecoach<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello I hope all is well with you.
