You can tell her from me that normally they dont, it is usually they have got stuck up the tree with the exception of Jaguars and Leopards.
As for me, I usually get stuck up a tree after a night out on the amber nectar because I cant find my way home.

No, cats do not live in trees and any cat who gets stuck up one has an IQ of minus 100. As one who has lived in Africa, and spent much time in the bush, your ancestors, George, do climb trees and are quite good at it especially when the are young.
As things are improving on the hospital front I expect to be back in circulation more often. I miss the banter.

Is it not true though Baggy that after a kill some of my ancestors will sleep up in a tree. I have even seen wildlife programs that show certain felines take their prey up into the tree and dine there. I do know that they breed and have their lairs on the ground though. I used to be the same, always trying to get a woman to take me upstairs for supper.

You and me both Leo, or would you prefer Simba, but it was not supper I was looking for. Yes, they do take kills up trees, because is upsets the jackals,hyenas and other scavengers, but it does not happen very often. I have seen lionesses, in particular, stretched out on a tree branch, out of the sun. Males not so often, as they find climbing hard going due to the body weight.
An African friend, who worked as a tracker on a game ranch I used to visit, told me that he came across a Kudu with his horns entangled in a white thorn tree and unable to free himself. With considerable courage he managed, after some time and effort, to free the animal which, as a reward, proceeded to chase him round the tree with its massive horns inches from his posterior. He only escaped by shinning up the aforementioned Thorn tree, whose thorns are at least 6 inches long and most unpleasant. The Kudu kept him pinned up there for 2 hours before he got fed up and walked away. That is gratitude for you in the animal world.

The Kudu sounds like a prickly fellow *groan*
