So why do cats get stuck in trees? If they can climb up, why can’t they climb down?

There are many people – even people of authority who should know better – who will tell you that cats always come down on their own. All you have to do is wait. They are wrong. The way they most often express this is with the question, “Have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree?” Sometimes they say "I have never seen a cat skeleton in a tree" or "I have never seen a dead cat in a tree." I don’t know how or why this expression became so popular and attractive, but if you ever ask a bunch of people for advice about a cat in a tree, you are certain to be bombarded with it.
