Naughty boy 😸

Joey found another way to get to the rooftop, much to my chagrin. We heard him fighting with another cat in the backyard of our neighbor right behind our house. I was worried should he get injured as his vet had once warned me that Joey's kidneys may not be able to handle meloxicam painkiller injections anymore.

I was forced to walk to my neighbor's house, introduce myself and sheepishly ask my elderly neighbor if he would let me look for Joey in his compound. By the time I got to the backyard Joey had already jumped back into our property.

I found him relaxing nonchalantly on the roof tiles and he wouldn't budge until I returned with his favorite treats. 😑

 

Suffice to say, I have decided to ground naughty Joey indoors until I figure out how to keep him from climbing up our aviary cage. That's how he was able to end up on the rooftop.

 

For the record, the last time Joey was on this rooftop was in July 2020, when he didn't come home for the night. He was sickly back then and I thought he had gone off on his own to die. 😔
