Or up a telephone pole as the case may be. This must be 60 feet up in the air. I think it’s a kitten. I can’t see it well enough to know if its the mother. At first I was wondering if I should call someone. Can you see that? The fire department getting a call to rescue a _bobcat kitten_? Then I start thinking well its an ecosystem everything’s gotta learn to live in its environment. The Bobcat kitten probably isn’t going to die of heat exhaustion on a day like today. It’s like 65-70 in the sunshine. The transformer is on another pole higher up the hill. That’s only 110 where it is sitting with both paws on the wire. (Editing note that’s 220 actually – An owie) so I’m thinking don’t do anything, worst case scenario it gets zapped but probably won’t fall off. Maybe its mother will come along and talk it down. Maybe the crows will annoy it so much that it gets down. Ever seen two Hawks and 10 crows mobbing the same thing? It’s starting to move around a bit now. Oppps there it goes be back.
Ok its down! Backed down with both front paws wrapped around the pole like a hug. Slick as you please, got about 15 feet from the ground and lept 10 ft over to a rock. Stood there for 30 seconds or so like it owned the world and then sauntered off. Once it was down I could see that it was the momma cat. She’s probably been up there before. Hope she is careful around the electricity.
Ahhhh the excitement for the day :-)
