Line 10:
This is [[Truth in Television]], if not as common as media would have you think. By the by, if your cat does go up a tree (or on a roof), call a tree service or your local animal control department/shelter/what have you. The fire department has better things to do. Like, you know, [[Captain Obvious|putting out fires.]] If you do call these agencies, they'll tell you to leave it--it got up there, it will find its way down when it gets hungry.

Line 103:
* In [[Recess]], Spinelli was accused of [[Serious Business|throwing a rock in a dirt-clod fight.]] She maintains her innocence the whole time, finally admitting she couldn't have...because she was rescuing a kitten from a tree. When nobody believes her, she reveals that it happened to be ''Ms. Finster's'' kitten. After she gives the specifics, everyone realizes she's telling the truth.
* Parodied in an episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', in which a fireman puts cats up a tree due to a disease that is thought to be transmitted by them.
* Invoked by [[Flight|Rainbow Dash]] in an episode of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', with Rarity's cat, Opal, in order to get the [[Ten Minute Retirement|then-despairing]] Rarity out of her house.
* The MGM short ''Officer Pooch'' has a [[Dogfaces|Dogface]] policeman continuously saving a kitten who keeps getting itself chased up a tree [[Furry Confusion|by a dog]].
* In [[Tex Avery]]'s ''Three Little Pups'', the wolf/dogcatcher puts on a cat hand puppet to lure out Droopy, who sets out a wind-up toy mouse - the cat puppet abruptly chases it wildly, runs into a bulldog, hisses in fear, and streaks up a telephone pole, dragging the wolf behind it all the while.
