Liz Platt fell from this ribbonwood tree in her backyard trying to rescue cat Max. Platt was left with concussion, while one of the firefighters sustained claw marks to his arm. The incident began on February 14, when Platt had four dogs and their owners over for a play date. Platt said she saw some sort of commotion in the bushes, before Max escaped and ran up the tree. “And the cat didn’t move, the cat just looked at me, no concern shown whatsoever,” Platt said.
