New cat toy? Or the great Cat adventure?

It rained like cats and dogs..;-) today,
and we got a leak in our ceiling. While our landlady Lucy was up in the attic looking for it, Bella the cat, climbed the 6 foot ladder and jumped up behind her. Lucy didn't know Bella was there. When my partner Barbara got home later in the day she couldn't find Bella. She kept calling and finally heard a faint meow. She kept calling until she was under the attic door and realized Bella was in the ceiling! She had to go outside in the pouring rain get the ladder again. Then she had to ask our friend up the street to get Bella down. Barbara is too short to reach up into the attic.  Bella is quite the athletic cat,  but she was happy to be back on the ground. I know they are big on animal enrichment at the zoo, but i think we'll have to find cat toys and other means of enrichment that don't involve the ladder and the attic for the lovely Bella.

  3. Curious Cats! We had a cat sealed into a wall when I lived at home. Daphne crawled in when the plumber was working on the bath tub and got sealed up for a couple of days. My Mom searched franticaly and finally found her, hungry and thirsty but okay.
