Luna in the attic space... again
I woke up at 4am after hearing my pager go off. When I got up to find
the pager, I noticed the AC closet door was open. Dang! That probably means Luna or Issa climbed up and got into the attic space. I saw Issa, but couldn't find Luna. Then I heard her cry. Dangit, I though, how many times is she going to get caught up there? Does she have really bad memory? Or she just can't help herself? Anyhow, I woke up Tom and we spent the next 1/2 hour trying to get Luna out through an opening in the screen on the eave of the roof in the front of the house. Me standing on a chair, Tom with a flashlight illuminating the opening. This morning I went to the hardware store and bought a latch for that door, which I just installed. No more lost-in-the-attic adventures in this house! Crazy girlie... -- Victor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |

No more lost-in-the-attic adventures in this house! Crazy girlie... This reminds me of an adventure my father's cats once had. This was back before I bought my house, and I was still living with my parents. My bedroom was in the attic, which had a fan but not air conditioning. The two cats found that my window screen wasn't latched at the bottom, pushed it open, walked out onto the roof, and went exploring. We found out about this at supper time, when we heard meowing and found both cats perched on the metal awning over the side door, peering in at us through the kitchen window. At the time, we didn't have a ladder tall enough to reach to the roof eves, so my father climbed up on a six-foot-tall step ladder and tried to coax the cats to come to him. They would let him stroke them, but retreated every time he tried to pick them up. Finally, he and I held the ladder up to roof-level and persuaded one cat, then the other, to step onto the ladder and be lifted down, ladder and all. I then installed a hook and eye to hold the screen shut. Later on, my father bought a taller aluminum extension ladder. He left it leaning against the side of the house, and the cats soon learned how to climb up and down it whenever they got the urge to go roof-exploring. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use http://www.pgp.com iQA/AwUBQR5vnjMYPge5L34aEQL8DgCfWhb1mxjs7GCViMFT5jYZc0 Sn8xMAoI2n NIeXbvNv2V7hOMA1YaLxqs+U =PkRQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- John F.
