I take it you have the same fall-out over conifers as we do.  When my cat
was a kitten she climbed to the top of one I could hear her but could not
see her but a neibour spotted her.  I had developed a fear of hights due to
nearly falling in the South Atlantic while doing a lifeboat drill.  Anyway I
was stood on the very top of extended ladder (doubles) and still could
barely reach her but in the end managed to get her on top of my head which
she scratched the hell out of.  The good thing is my fear of heights is not
as bad as before.  Then she went and done it again next day and I had to
repeat the whole thing.
