Yay Muskrat, good girl!!!Originally Posted by nhlee529
Muskrat is home, safe and sound now!! OMG, it's a miracle!! Thanks to every one for the ideas and support! Everybody here is so awesome and amazing!!
I went out to check on Muskrat early AM, still saw her on the edge of the roof every hour until 4:30AM. She still wouldn't jump then. I left some salmon flavored fancy feast by the bottom of the tree for her and dry food by my door. I was so tired and dozed off until 6AM when some light started to come through. Something woke me up and I jumped up to dash out to check on Muskrat again and surprise, surprise... once I opened my front door, my fat fur ball ran straight into my apartment!! I was shocked~ in the best way possible. I guess she's smarter than I thought! Muskrat looks OK, except for her muddy paws. She must have just gotten herself down and ran directly up the stairs to my apartment when I opened the door because both the canned and dry food were untouched. And, she was extremely hungry!
I fed my fatty (and she ate so much!), cleaned her paws, brushed her fluffy hair, hugged her for a while and now she's resting in her pad. I am so relieved that somehow she was able to came down on her own. No idea if she jumped off the building or climbed down from the tree... But I think she's OK, no sprains. Now I can catch some Zs...so can my other 2 fur babies. I've kept them up all night too!
Thanks very much everyone!! You gave my more support than family and friends here!! Really really appreciate it!!!
Keep a very close eye on her though, not to be a doom sayer, but cats mask pain very well. Do a body check every few hours, when you all wake back up. Get much needed sleep all of you.
