This morning I had to take my cat to the vet to get some of her teeth removed.
I left the cat carrier in the garage so she would not suspect anything and tried to go about my normal routine. When I went to get her, I could not find her. I discovered I had left the bathroom window open. It opens onto the roof. Normally she would not go out it, but I peered out all the same, and sure enough, she had climbed out and was sitting in a patch of sun on the far end of the roof.
I tried to woo her back in with toys and food, but she just looked back at me with disdain.
After an hour of trying to convince her to get close enough to the window for me to grab, I realised the only way I could get her was to climb out on the roof. I seriously considered doing this, but could also see that it would no doubt end in tears....for me.
So I gave her a small salute and admitted that she had won this round.
She is now booked into the vet for next week. I am looking forward to winning round two.
