After Three Days, Kitty Still Stranded in Prospect Park Tree

Visitors to Prospect Park’s Lookout Hill might catch a glimpse of something rare – perched at least hundred feet up in a tree is not a warbler, a cardinal or even a yellow-billed cuckoo, but a fluffy white kitty cat.

The tubby white cat has been stuck high up in a park tree off of Lookout Hill’s service road since at least Monday.

“Unless he sprouts wings, I have no idea how that cat will get down,” said one bystander, who preferred not to give his name. “I saw him yesterday too, and he’s climbed even higher now.”

Earlier today, the park’s landscape management team went looking for the cat, but was unable to locate it, according to Eugene Patron, a spokesperson for the Prospect Park Alliance.

After Park Slope Patch tracked down the fur ball, Patron said the park would try and send someone to coax the kitty down – he said that the park has arborists who could actually scale the super tall tree and bring it down.

At the time of press, though, the poor pussy was still stranded.

“It looks like that cat is maybe 150 feet up that tree,” said Rhys Tivey, a bystander practicing the trombone near where the cat was stranded. “It seems impossible.”
