Zoe fell off the balcony! (She's ok)

[Catty1]

I'm on the second floor of a former apartment building that is now condos. A regular ladder on the bed of a pickup truck reaches my balcony (don't ask me how I know...lol)

As for how they are getting along, all is back to normal. 99% anyway. There is still a bit of hissing, but that's how they adjust. I let them work it out.

Zoe was snuggled against my leg in bed last night, and I gave her extra head scritchies. I was SO grateful she wasn't hurt!

Uh, Zoe (which, by the way, was my name before I came to live in Ellicott City), we must talk. I tried that jump from the high deck routine; it's NOT a good idea. I know, I know, it looks like a boatload of fun, but you got yourself a little stunned, didn't you? I did, too - Mom said I looked shell-shocked - whatever that means.

Next time you get one of those bright flashes of brilliance, call me on my cell, K? I've probably tried it.

Love ya!
Purrs,

Pouncer almost once gave me heart faiure one time by waking aong the railing of the 4th floor balcony,
and she would have landed on cement.
That was it and Pouncer and Mr Scrappy and My Princess never went out again, until the Porch was enclosed.
We are so glad that Zestful Zoe was all right

Sorry for the scare you had, but happy that Zoe wasn't hurt in the fall.

Had a wild thought that maybe the boys helped a little by pushing her off
the edge. Just kidding. Really, I'm glad they are all back to normal
now.

lizbud - knowing Zoe, she probably saw something she thought she could jump on to!

Probably, though, she jumped up to the balcony edge as usual and slipped.

Oh, my goodness!!! So glad Zoe wasn't hurt. Give her a kiss from me, ok?

[Scooter's Mom]

So glad little Zoe wasn't injured in her swan dive off the balcony!

Zoe, stay upstairs, sweetie!

[Freedom]

Argh! Isn't it scary when they do that stuff? So glad she is OK!

I lived in a 2d story apartment and the kitties balanced on the rail and walked around it all the time -- gave me a panic each time they did, darn them! And Mr. Amber Cat twice swatted Chestnut who was a kitten (this is 14 years ago!) and tossed him right off the balcony! I'd come home from work and hear soft baby meows coming from the bush by the door and there was my wee 1 pound kitten! I'd take him up and had to stop leaving him out until he was bigger and could swat Amber back, lol.
