In the trees
This cat just really likes apples, what else can we say here? Perhaps this is its favorite tree and it feels like there is a necessity to protect it at all costs. Who knows what the farmer is doing down below, maybe the farmer never shared his apples and that upset our friend here.
Apples were meant to be shared or turned into delicious applesauce, those are the only two acceptable options in our opinion. Apples were not meant to be guarded by cats, but we guess if it keeps thieves away, why not? The last thing they would expect is a cat jumping on their heads.
