My Cat Escaped – Pet tip 244
In order to keep indoor cats inside the house it’s important to make sure that doors and windows are securely closed. It sounds obvious but cats are creative and very determined creatures and if there is a way for them to escape, they often will. This is especially true when cat owners (correctly) make the decision to turn their outdoor cats into indoor cats.
Windows are a favourite way for cats to escape. Make sure that all of the windows cannot be opened by your cat. If a window is left open slightly, some cats will use their paws to open it more fully. If there is no screen the cat can escape right then and there. If there is a screen, with just a bit of determination a cat might be able to break though it or slide it open. All you need to do to solve this problem is get a piece of wood and put it in the track of the window. Cut the length of wood so that when you place it in the window’s track, you can only open the window a few inches. Always make sure that your cat cannot squeeze through the opening space. Then to keep the wood in the track, screw it securely into the window frame.

Minnow is the reigning Queen of the house!! She pretty much does what she wants and is the master of manipulation! In return she is the friendliest Siamese cat I've ever known. She is more dog-like than cat-like - she goes for walks with the dog on harness, she follows anyone around, loves to play and chase - we even play hide and seek together. Like most Siamese she likes to talk but she is a known as the major purr-maching. She's great in the bath but hates having her teeth brushed (we're still working on that)!!
