Kitty Rescue

Today, Kai let the kitty out onto the balcony. 20 minutes later, when he went back outside, "Leah..." The kitty had jumped to the balcony next door. That's over 5 ft away! I was impressed but now we had to figure out how to get the kitty back. Yes, it jumped to the balcony next door but it's doubtful that it'd do it again. After some critical thinking, I suggested we use my mattress, placing it as a lil' walkway for the kitty. We tried one of my lighter mattresses first. It was easy to get over to the other side. The problem was that this mattress was way too flimsy, if the kitty got onto it, the kitty(even tho light) would of probably been too heavy for the mattress and fallen down the stairs. So then we decided to use my actual mattress. Since the mattress was heavy and a little flimsy, Kai had a hard time forcing the mattress to raise high enough to reach the other balcony. While doing this, we started laughing in response to people walking to their car, looking at us, us laughing at what it must look like we're doing. After many attempts, Kai finally got the mattress to the other balcony. The mattress still wasn't long enough so Kai was forced to hold the mattress on our end as it hung from the other balcony. At first, the kitty just looked at us like a punk, sitting there. I took some documentation just cuz it was a funny moment but also because I knew the kitty would be influenced to watch me and come back to me. Sure enough, the kitty took the bait and walked along the mattress and crawled toward me. As soon as she got close enough, I grabbed her by the top of her neck and dragged her inside, Kai following with the mattress. We felt like firemen.
