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. |
I know that's how she was when you was younger and I'm so glad you were there. Since Crystal is (was)14 her knees were not good so she didn't jump up or down but she must have thought she was Peter Pan for just one moment. I am SO GLAD you posted this so a chair to close to the deck fence could end up in a horrible accident. Thank you for your prayers they do help and thank you to all that posted since I was on last.
