He Came In Through The Kitchen Window

Well... Daisy never did this.

Earlier this week I thought Rascal was outside when I was.  It was that I got sidetracked doing something and was gone longer than I expected.  When I got back to the house I called for Rascal.  No Rascal.  When I opened the house door there he was inside the house waiting for me at the door.  Oh.  I guess I remembered wrong.  You were inside the whole time.

Later I noticed by kitchen window screen was loose and cockeyed.  Odd.  But okay.

Last night Rascal would go out briefly.  Then wanted back in to get a quick bite to eat.  Rascal doesn't eat a lot at one time, but quite often he will eat a quick bite.  Then he wanted back outside.  Okay.  A short time later I was on my computer and I heard a sound from the kitchen.  What? Something fall or break?

I went to look and then saw Rascal standing in the narrow window sill and he was pushing on the screen to try to get inside.

What?!  How did you get up there?!

I opened the door and he jumped down and came inside the house.  So, the previous time I was right.  He was outside and then he figured out how to jump up and push on the screen to get inside the house.

So now if Rascal is outside and I'm not around I will have to only have the window open a crack so he can't jump up and push his way inside the house.

This morning after 6 am Rascal was interested in going outside.  I usually fall right back asleep.  But this time I didn't as I knew he would want back in the house after a short time.  I closed the kitchen window to a crack.  Rascal came around to the other door by my bedroom window and meowed.  I let him back in the house then went back to bed.  He ate and then he wanted back outside again.  Really?  Okay.

So again I didn't fall back asleep as I knew he would want back inside after a short time outside.  After a while he again came to the other door and meowed.  This time he wanted to stay in the house and jumped up on my bed to sleep next to me.  After at 7 am I was able to go back to sleep.

This evening Rascal was outside with me when I did some grass removal from around a fruit tree.  After an hour or so he headed back to the house.  I then headed that way to do something.  I looked over and Rascal was standing at the house door but he was also looking up at the window.  I didn't have it open.  Whew.

What a cat.


The window doesn't open that wide.  The distance up is quite a bit.  The window sill is not that large.  Who would have thought.



You talking about me?
