it was like... standing under the tree, but a little bit away from the tree, so that it wouldn't stress the kitty out.

talking softly at her, she was hissing and growling back at me.

me, kept talking. she kept complaining. but she started to move around in the tree. then she came down one branch at a time, complaining.

I kept talking softly and encouraging.

finally she appeared at the tree trunk, climbing down very slowly, still making angry noises, but she came down.

now she's home and relaxed again. I gave her goodies, of course!
