I came to rescue Findus after his second night in the tree. The rescue was pretty straight forward until I tried to put Findus into the rescue bag. He was in no mood for that and popped out of the bag backwards like he was full of springs. I just about lost my grip on him at 30 feet in the tree. Somehow I was able to grab him with one hand in mid air and pull him back to my chest. I kept a tight hold on him and decided to resort to the scruff bag instead of the canvas rope bag. It is hard to know which type of bag a cat will prefer until you try it!
Findus belongs to a woman named Lou who is a professional cat sitter. Lou is an ardent cat lover and one of a friend and client named Sarah was also on site to watch the rescue and help hold a quilt in case Findus fell during the rescue. Sarah said that Lou's reputation as a cat sitter is so well known that people coordinate their vacation plans with Lou to be sure she will be able to watch their pets.
