The other night, around two in the morning, minutes after our friend, Lorrie had walked out the door, Amanda and I heard a loud crash outside followed by some barking inside our neighbor's apartment. We both turned to look outside on our balcony and saw that the sliding door was cracked open and the cat was nowhere to be seen. Amanda flicked on the porch light and we peeked outside to see our cat on the neighbor's balcony staring in through their sliding door at a dog, two seconds later a woman came and dragged her growling dog away from the window - keep in mind it's two-something in the morning and they have two newborn babies.



Usually shaking the cat's bottle of treats will have him come running from any corner of the house, but he just sat there staring in through the cracks of their vertical blinds, deaf to the world around him. So, I had to spiderman across the ledge of our balcony onto theirs, trying not to image how bad it would hurt to slip and fall onto the brick fencing below, now that the cat has seen me he decided to hide beneath a giant wicker-chair with a bike leaning against it - I can't touch anything without causing it to crash over - I'm 60% sure the neighbors are peaking through the blinds watching my every move...



Long story short - he's grounded, no more balcony for the cat for at least two months!
