      If this is regular height roof the cat can simply jump down and land on its feet, or it can use the drainage pipe for support. In my experience cats always check very carefully whether they can come down prior to climbing up. Only exception might be kittens.

        I wouldn’t say ALL cats check the physics before leaping.

        I mean, they’re impressive as a group… but individual outliers exist. My wife and I have 4 of them, lol.

          Can confirm. We also have 4ish and one of them is so adorably and inexplicably dumb. 😹

              LOL Well, the cat momma of our unexpected (and dumb) third is a bit of an oddball. We’ve tried to keep her indoors, but because she grew up outdoors, she wants to go outside or gets a little roudy with the other cats or starts rummaging and breaking stuff. But she’s also perfectly content staying inside for a few hours while she naps, so we often let her in when we get home or when the weather is awful. She’s with us but she’s not really with us, but we treat her just the same.

      Haven’t ever seen a dead cat in a tree or on a roof in my life. Some folks need to let nature be nature.

          It’s a relevant point if you have seen a cat dead on a roof before. You acting like a cunt is not.

      I have tried to help cats in the past, and it usually end with me being more stuck than they looked to be, and them casually jumping away. Those pricks can fix their own problems.
