There is this gap between the window and the air conditioner in my
bedroom and GUESS WHO JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW ONTO THE ROOF @ 3AM THIS
MORNING? Nicky!!!!!!!! Right out the window. I was hysterical.
yelling and screaming and the little bugger would not come back in and
i could not get the other window open for him to come back in and my
husband was in the yard trying to talk him back through the gap. It
was a DISASTER!!!! I am totally surprised the police were not here
and i swear that it sounded like was being KILLED or something.

lesson: if you think that the cat will not try to get through the
gap, YOU ARE WRONG and that he has probably being doing it for a
while, you just have not noticed.

Last year Dunzi got through a gap in the window that was only about
6-7 inches high. We had scaffolding outside at the time and she got
stuck half way down and then had to make an amazing jump (which she
nearly didn't make and if she hadn't she'd have landed on concrete 50
feet below) through another window to get back in

Afterwards I needed a beer to calm my nerves at 8.30 in the morning!!!
And I'm sure I've got a few extra gray hairs as a result of it

I discovered the hard way that the gap allowed by a
"security" chain on my front door was not narrow enough to
keep the cats in! I didn't see her get out, but when
Melisande didn't appear when I dished up their evening meal,
I remembered an importunate magazine salesman I'd had
trouble getting rid of earlier. I spent that night
worrying, and occasionally going outside to call her
(softly, it was after midnight). Come next morning, I found
her on the stairs (outdoor) leading to the apartment above
mine. It was winter, and although people think of Arizona
as "hot", that's only in summer - she'd been outside in
below freezing temperatures, all night long! (But she's
still always right there, trying to escape, whenever I open
the door - once a cat has been accustonmed to going outdoors
at will, they don't forget or lose the desire.)
