Dangle of Danger!

Yeah, that’s me. I like to live dangerously, play dangerously — I even sleep dangerously. One bad twitchy dream about being chased through an ocean of rubber cement by rottweilers with steak knives instead of teeth — and down I go.

Cat sleeps on balcony with its legs dangling over the edge
Of course, I’ll dream about landing on my feet.

    Watching that cat sleep so close to the edge is scarier than a Freddy Krueger movie!

    I like the title “Precarious Nap.”

    I also love the kitties who look like they just got whatever random leftover tails were available at the factory.

    Well, I donโ€™t think s/heโ€™s going to be in the way of anyone, and s/he has a nice view? It could be only the second floorโ€ฆ Stay safe, kiddo!

    Cats can safely land on their feet most of the time, but the real problem is why those balcony styles are legal to begin with. I see them everywhere on new buildings and can’t understand how they were ever approved.

    No balcony should have more than an inch of space between the concrete slab flooring and the panel. The gap is much too wide, and a toddler can easily crawl underneath to their death.

    Yeah no. Mine would not be allowed out on a porch like that. There’s a reason Catio’s are enclosed.

    I had a kitten fall out of a third story kitten at night, she was on the ledge and when I lunged for her she dodged me and fell.

    Scared the s**t out of her, literally. And I wasn’t much better.
