Joan, I am so very sorry about the loss of your sweet Crystal. On Sunday, we were on our deck, and Winston had jumped up onto the lounge chair, and had continued to crawl up the back of the chair, which made him high enough to crawl over to the top of our railing of the deck. I jumped out of the pool and got him before he did do that, but him getting that high had never even crossed my mind. Our cat does do the balance beam thing around the top ledge, but would Winston try that?
Winston sometimes does those cat like feats like balancing on the back edge of a chair in the house, and I had never imagined him doing stuff like that on the deck till Sunday. That exact thought of Winston chasing Silki our cat through the deck slats occured to me Sunday. And on Monday, with Crystal's story, so sadly I can now see how easily it can happen. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Rest In Peace Sweet Crystal.
