A bit ago I wrote that the neighbor's dogs had killed two of our cats BUT one of them came back! Actually she had not exactly left. I caught the dogs going at her & got them to drop her & she took off &, like the other, was not seen again. Until several days later I heard a sound & smelled a smell & looked up to see her back-end swung off the edge of the roof while she peed (no, not on me, but close enough).
Over the next few days, A went up there with water & canned cat food. We aren't usually canned food people but given there is no water up there & we thought it would help. Also it was very clear, even from the ground, that she had lost A LOT of weight.
We took a few days to let her get used to A. I was reluctant to go up on the roof myself. I am fine with heights but I can trip & fall over thin air never mind while chasing a cat across a steeped roof. He was rarely the one who handled her so we both worried she would not let him pick her up. We shouldn't have worried; she was delighted to come down.
We have made a place for her in the garage & things have been better but she is not crazy about sharing space with the last of the kittens. The boys are fine, but Lise really wants to snuggle up & clean her ears (that's right, girl cats like to play beauty shop). Whatever, it still beats the roof. Or dead.
