Cats are pretty stupid. Unlike dogs, who can be trained to do just about anything, your cat will never learn anything apart from when it’s supposed to eat, where it’s supposed to shit, and, if you’re really, really lucky, its own name.
This stupidity can sometimes put cats in danger, as one cat at Grand Canyon National Park learned recently.

According to HuffPost, the cat was “an approximately 2-year-old male named Archie.”
“The adventurous pet had ‘escaped from a residential area in the park’ near the Mather Campground on the park’s South Rim,” the piece adds. “Archie was stuck about 15 feet high in the ponderosa pine prior to his rescue.”
It's kind of funny to me that firefighters became the default cat rescue guys because they have tall ladders. Like that's their only cat rescue qualification, a big truck that can move around with a super tall ladder. https://t.co/qGCn0xPGzg

How he got up there is anyone’s guess, but regardless, he has since been reunited with his owner.
I’d like to say that this won’t happen again, but knowing how cats are, it definitely will.
