Firefighters with the Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) answered an emergency call from the owner of a tabby cat who managed to climb to the roof of a three story apartment building on Sunday February 15.
The cat needed to be rescued since the cat could not climb down from the top of the apartment building.
The CSFD firefighters managed to use a ladder to rescue the cat from the top of the apartment building and return the cat to the ground where the cat was reunited with his or her owners safely.

So glad to hear the kitty got rescued.
It's funny how cats can get up but can seldom get down

@Ineeddentures I get scared fearing a cat would try to scratch me when I want to pet one.

I had to help a kitty down from a tree.
I thought it would go nuts and scratch me
But it didn't
It just let me pick it up and take it down to the ground

A fraidy cat, went up but too afraid to come back down. I would have been the same, though.

I can relate to what you are saying concerning cats being scared of heights.
