Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2004older cat
My small gray cat is nearing 10 years but still leaps from the terrace railing, 12 feet up, to the roof, about 20 feet off the ground. It scares the daylights out of me every time. It seems she almost doesn't make it but her claws catch and sometimes slip a bit before she pulls herself on up. I'm afraid there'll come a time when she's going to misjudge as she gets older and there's rocks and sticker bushes below. Will she know when to quit? > My small gray cat is nearing 10 years but still leaps from the terrace > railing, 12 feet up, to the roof, about 20 feet off the ground.

I sure as hell would put up something to keep her from doing it. Whatever you do will be cheaper than the vet bill when she misses.

So why do you let her out to do it? She will be better off as an indoor cat -- and you know it. 1 |
