Morning entertainment
Mar. 25th, 2010 01:27 amWhat with insomnia and cruddy sleep patterns, I didn't really fall asleep until about 3 am. So when someone rang the doorbell at 7:30 this morning I was not the happiest bunny in the world. Turned out to be one of the upstairs neighbours though, quite upset because her cat had jumped off the balcony, and could she look from my (lowest level) balcony if she saw the cat on the ledge?
I was quite ready to say 'there better be a fire' when I opened the door but I'm a sucker for cats in trouble, so let her in, through my still-dark bedroom, and to the balcony. Cat was sitting on the ledge looking okay. Huge relief. She climbed off the balcony onto the ledge, got the cat and handed him up to me. I put cat in the bedroom, where he wandered around yowling. Collected a kitchen chair and handed it down so she could get back up. managed to fish chair back up. Exit relieved neighbour and cat. Return to bed.
