Joey took a while to reassure himself that this was his home and not some stranger's home. Prior to his hospitalization that corner was his favorite spot to look at the garden, watching squirrels and keeping an eye for pesky intruding stray cats.
We put him here in this covered patio/catio whenever he restlessly wanders around the house, hoping to find a way out into the garden. The doctors told us to keep him strictly indoors for a month, in case he eats something outside which he shouldn't.

Welcome to English Idioms 101. An idiom is a word whose figurative meaning is different from its literal meaning. The idiomatic meaning of "up a tree" is to be in trouble.
