The cat got up there, the cat can get down.
I have tried to help cats in the past, and it usually end with me being more stuck than they looked to be, and them casually jumping away. Those pricks can fix their own problems.
Just open a can of tuna and put it on the floor. 9 times out of 10 the "stuck" cat will happily come down.
Have you seen the price of tuna lately?!?
Unopened empty can of tuna also works. Those idiots can't read
I call shenanigans!
Haven't ever seen a dead cat in a tree or on a roof in my life. Some folks need to let nature be nature.
Oh ty your preferred flavour of sky daddy! Since you have yet to see such a thing it musn’t be a thing!
Well, I did! I had to climb on my pops roof to get it down
It’s a relevant point if you have seen a cat dead on a roof before. You acting like a cunt is not.
If this is regular height roof the cat can simply jump down and land on its feet, or it can use the drainage pipe for support. In my experience cats always check very carefully whether they can come down prior to climbing up. Only exception might be kittens.
I wouldn't say ALL cats check the physics before leaping.
I mean, they're impressive as a group... but individual outliers exist. My wife and I have 4 of them, lol.
Can confirm. We also have 4ish and one of them is so adorably and inexplicably dumb. 😹
How do you have 4ish cats?
LOL Well, the cat momma of our unexpected (and dumb) third is a bit of an oddball. We've tried to keep her indoors, but because she grew up outdoors, she wants to go outside or gets a little roudy with the other cats or starts rummaging and breaking stuff. But she's also perfectly content staying inside for a few hours while she naps, so we often let her in when we get home or when the weather is awful. She's with us but she's not really with us, but we treat her just the same.
