How does she get down? The same way, but backwards?
Believe it or not, she comes down head first, using her front paws to get down until her rear catches up and overtakes her head, she gets her head and front paws down as far as she can before she lets her rear leave the top. Then there is a ker-thunk and she is down. Not a gentle landing but not nearly as hard as I would have thought. I saw her starting to get down today and before I could get the video camera powered up, she was down!
