Melon Presser  52116   |  Subject: Help, please! Cat stuck on a roof!I know. Every crisis post of mine in CoJ involves crazy cats (obv., crazy cat lady). But these cats of which I now speak are my adopted blended-family children! I love them! So Kingsley (Gilligan in my profile pic), his cat is stuck on the neighbour's roof (pretty slanted). About 24 hours now (cats really don't do well without food/water). They've tried enticing her with food and water; she approaches but then runs away. She almost got on a wide board that they put between the rooves, but some people walked by and she got scared and ran away from the edge again. Swatting her off with a long stick (or two) is not an option; she's a fat cat with prior serious back injury from a fall (OK, OK, not the smartest cat in the world). Long pool nets aren't quite long enough. Any thoughts at all? Thank you! For inspiration (even if just to vomit? sorry!), here is a picture of us and Osiris.

She will. this. aside from that if the cat will not come down... just sit up there with some cat food and talk nicely to it. it will eventually come over. have a towel and cat carrier on hand and slip it in and down a ladder. |

(vet tech in my mentor group suggested leaving the board in place, and/or also putting food in the fig tree--she CAN come back the way she went, she's just not quite willing to try it--yet)| 2013-10-31 10:48 PM in reply to: TriAya |

Master 8250 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Help, please! Cat stuck on a roof! I assume this is the visually impaired one or my suggestion might be a bit different.....Stand on top of the ladder and make enticing "come hither" sounds. His favorite food/beer wouldn't hurt either. |

Pro 5755 | Subject: RE: Help, please! Cat stuck on a roof! If it got up there, it can get down. I did the ladder, scaling trees, etc. to get to my cat once who had figured out a way to get to the roof of a detached garage. Naturally once I got up there it jumped down. As for the BF, some strategically chosen attire should work. |

Veteran 444 | Subject: RE: Help, please! Cat stuck on a roof! When I was a kid we had two cats that would ALWAYS get on the roof. One (the female, of course) was smart enough to come and go as she pleased. The other (LC was his name, we called him LD after the many roof incidents) would get stuck. Many times my dad would go chase him around on the roof (low slope, low danger) until he caught him, then would kindly bring him down the ladder. That all ended one morning when dad went up on the roof not knowing it had frosted overnight and he nearly slid off. After that we attached a 1X8 board to a tree near the roof with angle brackets and a wheel on the end that could roll across the roof as the tree moved. With time and coaxing, LD finally learned that he could get down on his own. I believe the best advice about the subject came from my great aunt, God rest her soul. She told my dad "Have you ever seen a cat skeleton on a roof? The cat will come down when it wants to." |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Help, please! Cat stuck on a roof! THE CAT IS OFF THE ROOOOF! Almost too bad, really. I was very much enjoying this topic. The boyfriend, I'll leave there for a while. I mean, he'll come down on his own too, right? What do you mean, I should put the ladder back up? |

How did the cat get down? I'm late to the party, but I was going to suggest sling shot.
