Bonnie 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. |

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. |
