I'm trying so hard to get it. Is it some commentary about cats hiding in trees from dogs? Why are they a tree trimmer? What are the squirrels angry about? Is this just next level evolved metaphysical comedy I'm too stupid to understand?

And squirrels hate firemen. I get it now. Many thanks.

I need the squirrel saga.

Jokes aside, while the humor didn't land for me, the drawing is well done. Great comic style!

I choose to believe the branch fell on some random passerby and they need medical attention

I don't understand how a cat can possibly get "stuck" in a tree.

deutschdachs t1_j9l2eg3 wrote

The way their claws are curved make it easy for them to climb up a tree. But it's of no help on the way down so they get "stuck" because they don't want to fall all that way

It’s just simply not that funny after all

Yeah this is a bad comic. Thought it had to do with where the branch landed. But cute cat comic equal upvote I guess.

The tree trimming DOES HAVE TO DO WITH IT CAUSE THAT'S WHY THEY'RE UP THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE TO GET STUCK

Yeah, that’s the throw off for me. Makes it all about trimming the tree and ends up having absolutely nothing to do with what’s happening. Everyone here is just, “aww, cat! Cuuute!”

Cats often climb on trees. They could climb down or just jump, but often, they act like they are afrait.
People notice them, and try to climb the tree and rescue the cat, or call the firefighters to come with their ladders.

In the end, happily climbing a tree, but then act afrait when they should go back is a typical cat thing! :)

So cutting the branches has absolutely nothing to do with the joke?

27

DrunkenDruid_Maz t1_j9krhs7 wrote

Depends.
In the first place: No, it has nothing to do with the joke!
In the second place: It is the reason the cat did climb the tree. The title could not be "Poor Career Choice" if the cat had climbed the tree for are reason that is unrelented to the cats job!

And their claws point backwards, so it’s way easier for them to climb UP things than it is to climb back down, iirc

My aunt is an emergency services dispatcher. She likes to say ‘I understand there’s a cat stuck in the tree, but when’s the last time you saw a cat skeleton in a tree?’ Their fire department does not respond to cats in tree calls.

Someone told me, depending who is watching, they just use the waterstream to push the cat from the tree.

Pretty sure the female squirrel was cheating and got caught, the one she was cheating with got chased out by her partner. (I prefer this one) Or if you want the explanation to be more PG then it could be that the daddy squirrel got scared because there was a cat outside the house and ran away leaving the mother and baby on their own.

Tons of women will go to very great lengths to have their mouths filled with ejaculate. This can be attributed to the greatness of man.

Haha I was thinking about it as well. My thoughts are: grey squirrel came back from work to home early today and redhanded her wife playing with black squirrel's nuts.

My brother works for animal control. He gets a lot of calls about cats "stuck" in trees.

His favorite response is "have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree?"

It's okay. I get the whole cat stuck in a tree but it took me a minute since it's usually the fire department that handles that...I guess you could still dial 911 for them. The side squirrel bit was great though.

KypDurron t1_j9kcsnm wrote

Those are some thicc branches to cut with shears.

My first impression was that the squirrels were running away because they realized that if the branches can be cut like that, the tree is rotten and about to fall down.
