You know that your cat is getting old...

...when you have to get the ladder out twice in 4 days to rescue her

My computer room is above the front door which has a small flat roof above it. Evie likes to jump down to it from the window and watch the world go by. The jump is less that 4ft high, but now she just miaows until I get the ladder out to rescue her - today she was in the rain getting very wet!
I don't know how old she really is as she was a stray, but the vet agreed with my estimate which would make her 5 now or, at most 7. That shouldn't make her too old yet, but maybe she's just getting lazy

Sorry to say, but she is just a lazy bum! LOL LOL LOL LOL The cats I've kept so far were all well above 15 yrs. when they started to have their little extra ways and "asked" to be helped down.

LOL - yep, "just lazy" - that sounds like her

I think she just likes seeing you climb up the ladder!

Have you ever looked round to see if there's a row of cats watching it all from behind - and laughing?

You can't really trust cats. They're not as stupid as you might think!

ROFL - I hadn't thought of that... and I wouldn't put it past her.. or cats in general
