So I'm outside weeding (as usual) and Neil is on the roof of the house for some unknown reason. He calls to me-"look where Bakker is". I say where and then I see him-on the roof with Neil!!
YIKES!!!!
Neil gets on the roof with the old wooden extension ladder not a step ladder.
So how did Bakker climb that??? He was looking down while in the front of the house and I'm thinking don't jump please. I told Neil not to go to the second roof which is higher as I was afraid Bakker would follow.

So how to get him down?? I climbed that ladder (don't like it - not very sturdy IMO) and I said to hand him so I can grab the scruff of his neck.
We made it down in one piece.

In the past week Bakker has been jumping on the ATV and cart, the trailer when it was in the front yard, the tractor, the truck and crawling in the box of the truck-while its parked in the garage.

My RB kitty Sheba was infamous for doing this climbing-when we framed and started the roof of my garden shed-16 ft up she was on it-the roof trusses of Neil's shed-23 ft at peak-yup she was on it too.

Sheba must be channeling some energy to Bakker to start doing this all of a sudden-know we will have to watch when we set up ladders to see if this occurs again.

Sounds like he's getting adventurous as he gets older! Or maybe he just wants to keep his humans on their toes.
