Peter I support your comments about cats on the roof. Cats can go anywhere a possum can go. Many years ago we had a pair of cats that went out at night and would deposit possums with their heads chewed off on our door mat. I borrowed some night vision bino's and watched them at work. One would climb a tree (Pine) and force a possum out onto a branch and hunt it out until the branch could not support its weight. The fall would usually leave the possum stunned and the second cat would be on it in a trice. If the possum tried to escape onto our roof the cat would follow, leaping from a flexing branch at least two meters to the roof. After that we kept the cats in at night.
Funny thing though, we found an orphaned baby possum and raised it and the cats never showed any interest in it, they would line up and eat their dinner side by side.
