<This is my post from Facebook explaining the reason.>

I have a story for you all. I was out walking my dog, who is a hound/terrier mix. I noticed a kitten that was on the roof of a condo building to the west of mine.... I always take my dog to a row between my condos and another set of condos that I have coined as "poo alley" because he does his business very quickly there. Anyhow my dog aka the HOUND did not notice that there was a kitten on the roof, so I allowed him to finish his current objective then took him back inside because he would go crazy seeing me try to save this kitten.... So after he was inside I stood on an SRP power box and lured the kitten to the edge and grabbed it by the scruff (it took ten minutes to convince it that I was friendly) by the time that I got the kitten to the edge there were three other kittens waiting for me to bring him/her down. I felt very good about saving the kitten. On a side note, I hate cats and am very allergic to them but overall I mark this as a win in my book. Also what kind of a$%-hat would put a cat on the roof of a building?

How do you know the kitties are saved? Your Interference may lead to their demise. Butterfly wings. Unintended Consequences.

It is most likely it jumped on there from somewhere, but well done to you for retrieving it. You all know what I'm like about animal welfare :-)

I really hope that it jumped from somewhere, but in this neighborhood it is more than slightly likely that it was thrown. :(

I guess then when it comes to a philosophical question, I guess that the kitten could have been saving the world up on the roof of the condo. Although it looked very scared and appeared to want down, so who knows. ;)

:) Kittens often get more than a little ambitious going up and then very unambitious getting back down :) Anyone who has rescued one howling "help me I'm going to die" from the top of the curtains can attest to that. :) That he/she was reunited with the other kittens is brilliant!

You did a good job James.

I don't like cats either, but I would've done the same thing in your position.

just ignore dull

Cheers.

Well done James:)

I'm not sure if a Mother Cat would give birth on a roof or not, but to Me that's a possibility and ignore what's His name as Chris S said, you did good James.

Put The Kittens back with Their Mother? No? Hmmm. No Hero then.

Kittens!!! What's not to love? As a chief meddler in the ways of wild life, you are a hero, my friend.

Thank you James. That was a wonderful thing you did.

Reuniting a kitten with it's brothers and sisters is something to feel good about.

You recently experienced a tragedy with a litter of kittens I know :( so maybe you would have walked on by and not "interfered". But before that horrible event happened, would you have put the other kittens on the roof with the terrified one, or brought the terrified one down? C'mon - I know you love animals :)

He should be friendly towards strangers, that's all... (sorry Dull if I 'attacked' you)

Sorry, I will not apologise to Dull, I stand by what I said. His comments regarding animal welfare are not welcome here, he should stick to the politics thread, where he is more suited.

I still say well done James, I and others salute you. BTW any feedback on whether the kitten was owned or feral, and is happily ensconced back with it's siblings?

It appeared to be owned or at the very least domesticated. It was not un-friendly just very standoffish about being touched by a stranger. The other kittens were on the ground were friendly enough though, they didn't disperse immediately after being reunited but rather quickly. Also there was no sign of the Mama cat.

Sigh... I know I'm not supposed to feed raccoons, skunks, squirrels, birds and trolls but Dull, I have to ask this. Would you really have walked by a kitten in distress and done nothing?

and trolls but Dull, I have to ask this. Would you really have walked by a kitten in distress and done nothing?

Nothing I've read by The Hero has related to me any distress. Only a knee jerk reaction and Hero Worship Syndrome initiated by The Sight of a Kitty on A Roof.

And you, dear troll, would have sailed right by. Ooops, dat bad. FO shure.

An Avowed Cat Hater and Hero can tell '...looked very scared and appeared to want down...' as well as Me(an Avowed Cat Lover), maybe better. I'll admit to his better perception of All Cat Matters.

The Many Kittens birthed, and later older, in my presence have seemed, 'Scared and want', from a height of six inches. So a roof.....OhBa. Initiate Hero Sequence. Go Go Go.

Unintended Consequences. I Hope Heroes can live with them, as This Non-Hero has to.
