1 Answer

Answer :

Try putting the food closer to the other end of the board, lure him down with it. By “lure him down” with it, I mean put some stinky (canned cat food, tuna or sardines) away from the roof and then leave him overnight. He likely won’t come down with you guys nearby. Nice of you to try so hard.
