PORTLAND, OR (KTRK) -- It seems whether it's a house cat or a big cat, felines and trees don't mix.
A cougar got stuck in a tree in Portland, OR.
The animal evaded police multiple times before it climbed a tree.
The cougar sat there for a few hours before police crews found it and tranquilized it.
The cougar has since been released back into the wild.
