The cat got up there, the cat can get down.

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.

Just open a can of tuna and put it on the floor. 9 times out of 10 the "stuck" cat will happily come down.

Have you seen the price of tuna lately?!?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Unopened empty can of tuna also works. Those idiots can't read

Unopened empty can of tuna

I call shenanigans!

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.

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.
