Terrorizing Cats and I hate My camera

So I got home today and the cat was meandering around the yard, probably starving cause he's fatter than all get out. So I thought it'd be fun to try a little experiment. Copper (dog) was in the fenced in front yard, I picked up the cat and through/dropped him in the fenced in front yard, copper then proceeded to chase the cat. The Cat fearing for its life from a creature smaller than itself ran up a tree. I laughed, then realized, Crap, I have to get said cat down from said tree.

First thing was first, I put copper away, he folds up like a pocket knife (actually i put him inside but a foldable dog would be cool too). I then proceeded to try to call the cat down. Now I don't like talking to cats, because they never seem to listen to you. Dogs will listen and either run to you or away, but at least they're listening. So the cat wouldn't come down, so I went for plan B.

Plan B involved me throwing acorns at the said cat to try to coax him into coming down out of fear of acorns. Apparently he's not afraid of them and stayed his ground. I then began getting annoyed and wondered if said cat would come down from said tree. All of a sudden plan C popped into my head.

Plan C involved me spraying the cat with a hose till he either, ran up the tree more and was out of reach and might as well stay up there, or came down. Luckily for the cat he opted to jump down, not sure why he didn't climb down, but cats are dumb like that. On the other hand, unfortunatley though, the cat came down. So the cat was fine, a little wet and hates me now, but I think in the end we all learned a valuable lesson, cats hate water.

I can probably expect a call from my local Peta person soon.

So while said cat was in said tree, I thought this type of said event should be documented with a picture. I went outside and proceeded to take 10 pictures with my sony 5 megapixel camera. OUT OF THE 10 ONLY 1 CAME OUT AND STILL ISN"T GREAT. Said camera I can say severely sucks.
