Told this MF don't go outside while it's pouring, just sit in the window..

So she proceeds to launch herself through my window screen into a giant muddy pool of water. A lesson was learned today.

I had a little black cat who made it her life’s mission to make it out my front door.

Unfortunately for her, I come from family well practiced in the ancient art of WATCH THE CAT, so it took literal years before she had a successful attempt.

My brother’s girlfriend at the time left the door open just a bit too long, and that’s all it took. She bolted out of the house like a bat outta hell, and straight into the snow pile.

She made it about four steps before deciding Outside was bullshit, and her zest for escape attempts dampened only slightly.

Our family cat isn’t allowed in the basement, so of course she tries at every opportunity.

One time it flooded pretty badly and in the rush she slipped past us and bolted down the stairs into stagnant water at the bottom and panic swam further into the room until she was rescued.

She has not tried to get into the basement since.

My void Lovecraft has been a Houdini most of his adult life. One time he darted outside, but stopped short as we were getting graupel (look it up - it's weird) and it short-circuited his furry little brain.

TIL about graupel
