Why does the fire brigade respond to such calls, they're a FIRE
brigade,
the clue is in their name.

Because they're a fire and rescue service, and because it's more fun
driving the big nee-naw (especially when they know it's a nice easy
call-out with no smoke or deaths) than sitting in the station
polishing
their nozzles.

I've seen such rescues on TV and the person doing the rescuing often
wears thick gloves as the ungrateful / stupid cat that has been stuck
and crying for 2 days doesn't understand it's being rescued.

It doesn't need rescued, a cat can climb down aswell as up. And if it
scratches at a rescuer, it doesn't deserve rescuing.

The cat will come down of its own accord when it's ready, or the
owner
can climb the tree. I learned to climb trees when I was a child, are
you saying an adult can't do so?

Cats and children can get to different parts of trees than adults -
different power:weight ratio.

And the ability for the higher / thinner branches to support the
weight etc. Such things shouldn't really need explaining should they
unless someone has suffered 'brain mush' from contact with a cat. ;-)

So you climb as high as you can then poke at the cat with a broom.

Makes more sense to shoot it so it stops yowling.

I don't have a problem with the small amount of noise cats make.

I do when the ****ers start ****ing each other on my roof.

Cats are pretty quiet compared to any other animal including dogs.

Dogs, now they're loud.

Yeah, couple of the garage sales yesterday had neighbours
dogs that made a hell of a racket and they said that the dogs
do that all the time.

I once walked my neighbour's dog for her and it had sex with a stranger's dog. We both watched for a while then she said, "well aren't you going to stop him?!" I replied, "It's not my dog, and they seem to be having fun."
