House cat jumps out onto the roof and immediately regrets it: "Meow of regret"
Net - Simba wanted to be outside on a rainy day of all days. But when he realized what the weather was like, he regretted his decision.

After his curiosity got the better of him, Simba escaped outside through the window and enjoyed the freedom. However, the adrenaline rush didn't last long.
The orange house cat seemed to be trapped on the roof of the house and could no longer move. Helpless meowing was the result.
"He was outside for about ten to 15 minutes," Simba's owner told Newsweek. "It was too slippery for him to jump back in - so I had to pull him back in."
The woman captured the pleading kitten on video and posted the clip on her TikTok channel "bellaalongsidesimba", where Simba has already become a minor star.
