She'd probably been fine without the bush. Cats are amazing at running down vertical surfaces and somehow stopping at the bottom, looking at you and saying "Meant to do it"View attachment 461244
yesterday july 3rd due to hot weather and opening bedroom window a little wider for the air conditioner extractor tube outside the window , i didn't think , Melanie would have slipped though the window gap onto the outside widow ledge , i heard a sound looked and shocked ! she tried to walk backwards and suddenly lost her footing slipped and fell ! i was shocked ! panicked !
i heard her land on a bush the fall must have been 16 feet
i dressed fast grabs keys out the door down the stairs in less than 60 seconds , she was walking around below in the corner next to the building , the outdoors neighbourhood cat , Stick was wondering around , had i not got down the stairs fast enough Stick and Melanie may started hissing with her running off in any direction ?
no of course i don't have video or pictures , there is stuff in the way of the window so even if i tried to reach out grab her ,
well she used one of her 1 lives , 8 left and i don't intend this to happen or be repeated again , blame is on the heatwave , 2nd blame is myself , Bear wouldn't have done that , Melaine is too young and curious and very lucky girl that no injuries , if that was myself or anyone else falling 16 feet , i'd say we'd be in A&E down the hospital , she is lucky she landed on the bush that must have slowed the fall down , and cats usually good at landing on their feet , she is , lucky to still be with me , poor girl
Glad she is OK though.
