After Brother Cat's misadventure and illness following his disappearance, I vowed he would never be allowed to go outside ever again. Because he is so obnoxious in that he thinks it's amusing to awaken us at any give wee hour of the morning when he spends the night in the house, he spends his nights out on the large, enclosed sun porch, where he can also access the laundry room.
HOWEVER.....he somehow kept escaping!
On this particular morning, just before 8am, I heard all this howling and meowing. At first, I couldn't tell where it was coming from. It seemed to be coming from outside the (second floor) window of our bedroom. Opened the blinds, and look who was there!
Turns out the little *^%$$%^&* was getting out through a missing pane of glass in the louvers of the door! Mind you, this pane of missing glass was eye level to me, so about 5 and a half feet from the floor, and the space was only about 5 inches! We have fixed the problem, and he escapes no more. So far.........
Isn't he precious?
