Your cat gets stuck on the roof. How do you get him down?

Your Cat Got Stuck on the Roof? Here’s how to get it Down

Owning a cat can get you a companion and lower your stress. You can have a beautiful relationship with a cat. But sometimes, it can be worrisome to see your cat get stuck on the roof.

How many times did your cat get stuck on the roof? At least once, right?

Do you know that cats are super quick on their feet and can go as fast as 30 miles per hour? Yes, they are super fast animals.

A cat’s tail is another impressive feature that helps balance itself when climbing a roof or tree. Being independent animals, they live to explore the world on their terms. 

It can be worrying to see your cat stuck on the roof but fear not. Here are some methods I tried and succeeded in getting my cat off the roof.

  • Keep food in its vicinity

If you keep food near the cat, it will persuade her to come down the roof. If you know any specific food it likes, you can keep the same. Ensure there are no other animals around who can eat the food instead.

  • Lean a ladder on the walls of the roof

If you have the ladder, then lean it towards the wall of the roof. Either climb the ladder to get the cat down or let it come down by itself. To attract the cat’s attention, you can also try taking some treats with you while climbing the ladder.

  • Grab your cat’s attention with a laser pointer

If you have a playful cat, then a laser pointer can be a great way to grab your cat’s attention. But make sure not to flash the laser in its eyes since it can scare it. Once the cat has locked onto the target, move the laser towards where you want the cat to move.

  • Let the cat come down by herself

Cats are capable of entertaining themselves. We might feel it is stuck on the roof, but it might be having its fun time. Let it enjoy, and it will come down when it wants to.

  • Call for help

If you feel that your cat is stuck for more than 24 hours, it may be time to call for help. The best option is to call animal control for rescue.
