Cats in trees

I was just watching a show on Animal Planet where they were getting a
cat out of a tree. Is it really necessary to help cats get out of
trees? There's an old joke with the punch line: "Lady, have you ever
seen the skeleton of a cat in a tree?"

Don't they come down when they get sufficiently hungry?

Sometimes they do forget how to come down and when they do it is usually
with some help. They had one report of a cat up there for over a week on
animal planet took a fireman to coax the furnut out of place and he jumped
instead the vet said he was ok just dehydrated

They fall out of the trees when weak enough. You will never see a
skeleton in a tree for that reason.

Our friend saw his cat way up in a tree, waaaay up. He thought the cat
would come down at some point, he didn't have a ladder that would go
that high. The next day the cat dragged himself to the house with two
broken legs.
