What goes up must come down? Stupid Cat on stupid roof

[Slambang]

Stupid Cat has now been on the roof of our house crying for 4 hours or so, not for the first time - stupid Stupid Cat. Last time luckily a friendly roofer was working on a nearby building and he came to the rescue with his big ladder(got scratched for his efforts). This time there are no roofers and Stupid Cat is not brave enough to make the 2 metre jump she needs to do to get down onto a lower roof.
The neighbours have been knocking on the door - did you know SC is on your roof? There's no way I can get up there. SC says no way she can get down. I've tried calling, shaking bits of food, opening windows below her and ignoring her. She is still wailing piteously. So what next? How long do I let her stay up before I have to pay for a man with a ladder?

My lovely (now-deceased) mountaineer used to use the neighbour's wisteria to get to the first floor windows. He would then walk around both houses until he found an open window. This was quite awkward as my neighbour is not a cat lover by nature.
Maybe you could plant a climber? Wisteria is too slow-growing but Russian vine should be ready to use in a few months.

glad she's down safely!

Love the image of the cat struggling to maintain a grip on the mirror. Well done that woman!

I could just imagine the volume mine would have made. All the neighbours would have been out!

Glad she's back with you safe and sound.

You know what they say. Dogs have owners, cats have staff
