Sasha wrote up our little kitten's big adventure in a letter home to her mom, reproduced here for your reading pleasure:
We had quite the adventure today - thankfully, no one
was injured. Minakitten was out on the back porch
when one of the neighbor cats came by. She was so
excited she was sitting at the very edge of the porch,
so I went out and coaxed her back inside. Of course,
she immediately ran back out, and we thought that,
since the neighbor cat had gone away, it would be
okay. But sadly, we were mistaken - we heard this
scrabbling sound and a whumph, which was her falling
off the porch! I ran out on the porch and looked
down, and David headed down and around the house. I
made it down shortly after making sure that she was
moving. Fortunately, she was only a little winded and
may have scraped her back leg slightly, but as soon as
I started trying to pick her up, she was off and
running. She didn't make it far before I got her and
took her back upstairs, where she promptly ran towards
the back door, yelling to be let back out again!!
Needless to say, she has lost her back porch
privileges.
So far, she hasn't been too terrible about the back porch. That said, it's been less than a day. If she injured herself, we've seen no sign, as she's been batting around the cat toy with lots of vigor!
