A seemingly clever, if facile, response.

If a cat in a tree is dying of starvation, exposure or injuries, it
will generally fall out of the tree when it becomes unconscious,
whereupon it will either die from the fall, remain unconscious and
then die, get run over by a car or attacked by other animals, or
recover and leave.

This is why there are rarely cat skeletons in trees.  The cat's demise
is hardly ever a result of quietly starving to death up there.

That said, cats are rarely truly stuck in trees.  They *think* they're
stuck, yowl piteously, then figure out a way down when they get hungry
enough.
