Something else this time. Major is allowed to walk on my roof terrace daily. As long as the weather allows it. He loves this very much. I will check on him every 15 minutes and I never caught him running away to the neighbours. He has a visitor for quit some time. Another male. And Major doesn't like him. It is his territory. So what did Major when he saw him again? He jumped on my fence! I tried to catch him, but before I knew it, he jumped on the roof above. And there he went. Running after this intruder. I was scarred stiff. There I went in my pyjamas and on my slippers climbing on the roof and trying to follow these two. I had to walk almost to the end of the row houses and looked down on every roof terrace, but no Major. Finally at the end I saw Major. He was very scarred. I called him and made myself as little as possible. Afraid that I would scare him even more. Gladly I could catch him. I took him in my arms and walked back to my own roof terrace. With Major under my arm I climbed down. You can loose your cat in a second. They are so fast. The other cat I haven't seen these last few days. I hope Major scarred him enough. It only frustrates him. But you can't ask people to leave their cats inside. Cats are very curious. That is so funny about cats. But from now on Major can only go outside under supervision or on the leash. Gladly he doesn't mind being on a leash. I am glad that I caught him on time....
