Don't know if anyone remembers me talking about how I worry about Laku
jumping up on the balcony banister. Well now that all snow is away and
the sun is back I managed to snap a couple of pics of him sitting on the
banister, head wooshing this way and that way, looking at the birdies
flying by. It is three floors down and as you can see the banister is
about as wide as he is, ample space he thinks, but I still worry...

On this second pic you can just see the corner of an old wooden box,
from the top of which he jumps up onto the banister. He sometimes also
sits on the box and peers out through the opening in the banister.

Yee gads that would scare the bejeesus out of me!! Grant has actually jumped
into the window when a bird flies by. I know they might jump off, or lose
their balance. You are a very strong person!!

Laku is soooo handsome

Can you get a screen tent to put up on the balcony? Or, take a lenght of
fish type netting, attach posts to the balcony railing, and string the
netting up, angling it in a bit at the top, so it forms a non permanent
barrier?

Nikki jumped into the glass on the balcony once when she tried to follow a
bird. I was glad then that the glass panes are there. Nikki wasn't. )

And I forgot to mention that Laku is, indeed, such a handsome kitty.

You have a very beautiful boy there, btw - please give him a scritch for us. :-)

And I know Laku wouldn't try to climb it as he doesn't like surfaces
that aren't solid. He doesn't even climb up on the kitty tree which is
the same as Marina has, as the perch in the middle isn't made of a solid
piece of plywood (or whatever) but has a hole in the middle where the
covering fabric makes it into a kind of hammock.

Aww, Frank loves that hammock! It's just the right size for him to curl up
in a tight ball and snooze away. )

Not to worry you, but ocassionally they DO fall. (snip details)

And, of course, Bev just posted about Bonnie misstepping and falling
off the roof.

Anyway, purrs that Laki is careful.

My best friend's cat tumbled out a 2nd story window when the screen wasn't
fastened tightly enough. The cat was okay, but gave her a real scare for a
few minutes. She ran downstairs and out the back door, screaming for her
husband, terrified for Mox. Meanwhile, the cat was kinda looking around,
hmmm, how did I get out here? ROFL

Reminds me of when Persia knocked the sliding door screen off the bottom
track. She can't do that anymore; I have a baby gate in the doorway.
