Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2004Bonnie falls off the Roof
We had visitors to-day and someone remarked thoughtfully that there was a cat on the roof. Our lounge looks out onto big beams that criss cross a U-shaped area. Bonnie was busy balancing on the beams like a tight-rope walker and yowling. I laughed merrily. "She's always doing that," I said. "Don't worry, she is far too smart to fall off." Stupid last words. As we watched Bonnie lost her footing and crashed to the ground several feet beneath. Yikkkkkkkkes. Oh God. I tore outside and found her sitting in the garden. She was furious at her loss of dignity and not hurt a bit. Shortly thereafter she was fighting Clyde to the death. But we got a fright. Just goes to show that even a sure-footed cat can have an accident :( Bev -- I got rid of my husband. The cat was allergic. > We had visitors to-day and someone remarked thoughtfully that there was > a cat on the roof.

Karen >I laughed merrily. "She's always doing that," I said. "Don't worry, >she is far too smart to fall off." > >Stupid last words. As we watched Bonnie lost her footing and crashed >to the ground several feet beneath. Yikkkkkkkkes. My friend had lost her indoor cat. Hadn't seen her in three days. She calls me up "kitty is one the roof! obviously escaped out of a window. Come help me." I go and see kitty on the roof. I coax her near the edge while I get up there on a ladder. No, she wouldn't go back near the window she went out of. As she got near the edge of the roof I grabbed her, just as she grabbed a piece of slate roof tile with a nice chunk of cement. I pull her off the roof not seeing the piece of tile and cement which goes slamming into my mouth. I don't want to lose her so I still don't let go until I hand off kitty. I almost knocked my front teeth out and I had the biggest, fattest black lip. My front teeth were lose and it hurt to eat for three days. All for a cat...of course! ow. > My friend had lost her indoor cat. Hadn't seen her in three days. She > calls me up "kitty is one the roof! I think this is a cue for David Yehudah to post the joke about "the cat's on the roof." (You do know that one, don't you, Dave?) Joyce - if you don't, I'll post it. > > My friend had lost her indoor cat. Hadn't seen her in three days. She > > calls me up "kitty is one the roof!

Is that the one that ends-- "Well, your mother's on the roof"? ;) Theresa alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful. (Aldous Huxley) That's the one I was thinking of. Sounds as if I'm being tagged to be the resident repository of old jokes. Or is that 'suppository?' :-) >>>My friend had lost her indoor cat.

All for a cat...of course! ow. of course, what could be more important ;-) Glad you were able to rescue the wayward cat. BTW, purrs coming for the babies whose pix you've been posting in abpa. Haven't seen any baby squirrels here in OK, but we usually don't unless something bad has happened, like a tree being blown down. Unfortunately, we are seeing more roadkill, skunks, possums etc, which is a sad sign of spring.

When one of mine does something klutzy like that, Lynda and I turn to each other and say in one voice, "Kitties are such graceful animals." Purrs that she continues to be okay and will be more leery of roof-walking from now on! Christine > We had visitors to-day and someone remarked thoughtfully that there was > a cat on the roof.

Glad she's not hurt...."I meant to do that, you know" sounds pretty feeble in this case. : Purrs that she continues to be okay and will be more leery of roof-walking : from now on!

Our office cat Ozzy likes to spend time on the roof too. It makes me nervous, but he will *not* let himself be gotten down. He comes down when he's good and ready. ;-) ------ Krista >We had visitors to-day and someone remarked thoughtfully that there was >a cat on the roof.

Listen to the pitter-patter of little feet on the roof! -- CATherine |
