<human>: So last night I thought I heard a kitten outside, but couldn't find it despite looking around for a while this morning. Today my wife found them when she noticed our cats were looking up by our back door. There is a mom and as best I can see, two kittens. We called our vet, and the they suggested that we try and gain the cat's trust with food or treats if it's domestic to try and get it off the roof. But if the cat is feral, to leave it be and to take the kittens when they are older.   

Now, the cat doesn't seem too aggressive when I take a peek at it, but it's hard to say. As the title says, it's on a tin roof over our patio and under the main roof's overhand. The way our condo is built we cant get on the roof and reach the cat. And the cat is deep enough on the tin roof that we can reach it that way, the tin roof wouldn't hold a lot of weight and would easily collapse if someone tried to climb on there. So there's no easy way to reach the cat or the kittens. I've built a long contraption to try and feed the cat, but so far it doesn't seem to keen on canned food. We want to be sure the mother is eating too, after all the kittens depend on her. 

So any ideas Reddit? Unfortunately it seems like we'll just have to wait and see what happens, but I'd hate for something to happen to the kittens up on our roof. There are other cats that roam our neighborhood, and it's not uncommon to hear a fight at night. The kittens are probably under a week old because we didn't hear the mewing until last night (so heck, they could be a day old). Sooo yeah.  I'll post picture if I'm able to.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Cat (stray, possibly feral) had kittens on our roof. We want to make sure nothing bad happens to the kittens or mama.
