I found this little guy a couple years ago.
Figured he was dead but was gonna get him down anyway. Nope he was still alive but had no feeling in his legs. Got him down and he laid there for 5-10 minutes then slipped off.
Can’t imagine how a cat could get hung up like that, pretty odd.
We have what looks like plastic chicken wire around the pavilions for solvent
storage at work. Supposed to keep the barn shallows out.
It helps, some still get in and nest. We have a good population of big blacksnakes too. They climb the posts and come in after the bird nests.
Somehow, several per year will thread their way through the "wire" and get hung up.
Most die, a few have been cut out alive. But it's risky, by the time we find them they
aren't in a good mood. Nothing dead smells quite as good as a snake hung there for a week in July. The smell is all out of proportion for a 2-3# animal.
