Apparently six months of climbing trees and small buildings (and getting trapped in garages) has not yet taught this one that sometimes she'll need humans to help her out of trouble. Or maybe we've been too compliant in providing said help. This occasion was no exception.

Is this your cat, or a stray outdoor cat? How did you get her down?

It's the neighbors' cat. I went into their garage looking for a ladder, determined that I couldn't carry the ladder they have, found a large pet carrier which was sturdy enough to stand on, and used that where the roof overhangs the porch. The cat wasn't happy with the idea of my picking her up, but she did gratefully step onto my shoulders.

Zoe loves this photo. Glad you safely got the kitty down!

:) "Cat!"

I'd have waited about six hours before offering help. Maybe putting a bowl of food on the ground. Cats can jump down one story... They'd just RATHER have you do it.

I'm a pushover. I'll do anything for the attentions of a cat. Well, almost anything.

The first thing she did when she was safely on the ground was to roll in a pile of leaves, grit, and no doubt motor oil in the garage. I wasn't gonna touch her after that.

Maybe if we made the roofs out of tin it would help dissuade feline exploration.

In this frigid weather, I doubt it would make much difference.
(on the other hand, were it summer, a cat might reasonably say "Sn-OW!")
