It's a two story building, but only about nine feet from the landing to the roof edge. Not that much distance involved. I can only guess that the cats that came down on their own took a chance and leaped to the tree. If they missed, the ground underneath was soft anyway.
It is my belief the guy illegally staying in one of the apts (staying with girlfriend, not on the lease) is the guilty party. He ought to run out of gullible cats any time now. They couldn't be dumb enough to let him grab them again, could they?
I'm proud of you Edgar.
And I have unprintable things to say about people who do such things. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Cow tipping, suburban style.
Aww, I'm so glad you cared enough to help the cat, Edgar. Thank goodness there are nice people in the world to balance out the jerks...
