Default Need Help - Balcony Enclosure

In article ,
enlightened us with...
Just let the cat out. he's not stupid enough to jump down from that high I would hope.


Mine were (2nd floor).

About 3 years ago, my poor, departed, sweet but stupid, Julian fell off
trying to fit his fat ass on the tiny ledge on the other side of the
railing (he went through the grate/bars). A year later, the dork tried
to jump on top of the inch-wide railing. He missed. I only turned my
back an instant in both cases. He wasn't hurt, but he scared the holy
hell out of me.
Last year, Rowan came *this* close to going over. She was trying to
catch a bird. If I hadn't caught her (literally), she'd have vaulted
right over the railing.

The thing is, Julian never *tried* to jump down. He fell, both times.

Cats aren't always the brightest or the most agile. Some are more like
Garfield. *g*

The kids now have a nice enclosure on the balcony if they'd care to be
out there.
