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.

Fagan was one of four stray kittens I took in, I made a deal with my mom when I was down to 2, if she took one, I would keep the other.... thank God she took his sister. Fagan is my little man, we have been through so much together the last couple years. He is a trooper having over 30 vet visits in one year. He has food and flea allergies, chews off his skin, is prone to depression, has two luxating paetellas, and now sponylosis deformans. Despite all this and having to take holistic meds every day and get shots now and then, he is such a happy cat. He loves the simple things, a drink out of the faucet, a tasty treat, snuggling cheek to cheek with me on the couch. I have never once had a care about the money he costs us and am quick to remind hubby of how much he gives us in return when he does. He has not a care in the world when he is watching his squirell friends outside or playing string, or chasing his big sister up and down the hall. I love most that although it took years, he now comes out to meet guests and look for pets. I love that he is always waiting for me on the bed at bedtime to get his meds and treats. And his squeeks, they melt my heart...
