Mickey may have turned into a Houdini Cat. Since this past weekend he has continuously escaped from the backyard that so easily confined him for the past month.
- First, it was as easy as a baby gate to keep him in.
- Then, he figured out he could hop on top of the baby gate and squeeze through the bars.
- Well, I think, I'm way smarter than this cat I'll just put up chicken wire so he can't squeeze through the gate.
Chicken wire worked for a few weeks until boredum set it on this poor kitty and his desire for escape grew...
- I then witnessed Mickey flatten himself into a pancake and wiggle like a snake under the gate...
- Since then all attempt to contain my little furball have failed miserably.
The poor creature is a mess these days as is. His diabetes have left him looking like an unloved, unfed, mangy mut. The collar and tag I bought him have been paid for tenfold in phone calls I've received in the last 2 days about Mickey. They all think he must have been missing for days or weeks by his appearance or maybe he's walked far far from home. He's always within 3 houses of home and comes running toward my voice. So I guess until I can figure out how this little booger is escaping he'll be cooped up in the garage... Sorry Mick, but it's you're own fault and for your own good!
P.S. To all of you that must think I'm stupid to think that a cat can't just simply jump over the fence in the backyard I suppose I should explain that since Mickey was diagnosed with diabetes his ability to jump is limited to how high his paws can reach...
