The weather recently has been remarkably muggy, so I’ve been keeping my office window open while I’m working. Which is all very well, but we’re trying to keep the cats in, so I have to keep the office door closed. Of course, it shouldn’t be too much of a worry, we’re on the first floor (2nd floor if you’re American) and surely the cats wouldn’t be so stupid as to go leaping out of the window. Still, best to keep the door shut.

You can tell where this is going can’t you?

2025 Update

Yeah, the cat jumped out of the window and woke me up with his yowling at some ungodly hour in the morning.

There was probably more detail in the bit that got lost during a migration and didn’t get picked up by the Wayback Machine, but the above is the nub of it.
