This cat still has 9 lives, thanks to J.D.

KANSAS CITY, MO - Early yesterday morning Jonathan Davis climbed a large maple tree to rescue a tuxedo cat who had been stuck there for several days.

Fluffy the cat snuck out of the house one day and found herself stuck in a tall maple tree.

Christine Applegate, a local resident in the neighborhood where Jonathan grew up shares the story on Facebook: “Fluffy was stuck in a huge maple tree, in Hansen's backyard, for a couple days. Her owners heard her meows, but had to bushwhack through blackberry bushes to finally find her. Once they did, a young man of great complexion walked up and asked if there was anything he could do to help.

“He quickly climbed the tree, but Fluffy was really scared and it looked like she might climb higher. Thankfully, she only scooted out a little bit on the limb and this local hero was able to scoop her up.”

“She relaxed in my arms and we had some nice treetop conversation.” Said Jonathan after he climbed down with Fluffy.

The citizens of Gladstone all breathed a sigh of relief once Jonathan returned to Terra Firma with Fluffy safely in his arms. There was rancorous applause as the young Jonathan Davis merely blushed and said, "What I've done has only been my duty, it is you, the good people of Kansas City who deserve the round of applause for the amount of love in your hearts!" 

It has been rumored that the Mayor intends to bestow the city's highest honor (the Golden BBQ Sauce Bottle) on Mr. Davis later on this Christmas.
