Can a cat run down a tree?

Not really. A cat's claws are, of course, pointed backwards, so if the cat is head downwards, the claws give him very little control over his speed or direction; when he tries to set them into the tree bark, his own downward speed, aided by gravity, will prevent them from setting properly. While it may look like he is running down the tree, it is better to call it a slightly-controlled fall. Generally a cat coming down a tree, if he is head-first, will have his fore-limbs spread out wide and almost at right angles to his body, so that his claws, now aimed sideways, will have at least some grip on the tree.

How do Cats climb trees?

Squirrels grip the surface with their claws, either with their hind pair of legs or hind pair of legs at a time to get grip. They cannot hold on to a tree with only one leg. They always use the front feet or back feet together. And when you see the speed at which they climb up and down the trees and rarely fall, you don't believe that they climb with their claws and wonder if there is any other mechanism by which they stick on to the trees.
