Cat Burglars – Breaking & Entering.
Kitten Break-In Artists
The four tiny kittens dropped at my doorstep were of huge distress to my 17 year old cat, so as soon as they were old enough for shots, spaying and neutering, they became outside cats, with their own luxury cathouse as well as a huge cushy bed in the garage. The old cat chose to remain permanently inside, with her litter tray in my shower. I used the guest room shower. This drove the kittens mad, however, and they continually plotted on how to gain re-admittance to my house. In this video, they had removed one of the glass slats on the master bedroom’s bathroom window–not an easy task as there were bars on the outside of it and a screen fastened by metal rivets into the wall. The slats were held by spring-action long metal clamps and were hard for even me to remove. But, where there are determined kittens, there is a way. When I heard the ruckus, I had to come view it and returned with camera, never thinking they would succeed.
I have been looking for the video for a year, fearing it was lost when I switched over to a new computer. Then, yesterday, I found it on a thumb drive. Couldn’t wait to share it with you!
If the 17 year old had seen that she probably would have let them stay.

She did. The first one jumped down on her and she was off like a shot!

It was surprising that you could just see them thinking and trying to figure it out. Wish I’d seen them get the glass out. They had to wedge the louvers open and then work one out of it’s mounting.. really took some thinking about it. Amazing.

Ohhh my, I loved this! 😀 I have never had a cat (or vice versa) so for me this is like magic.

I went from having three dogs and one cat to two dogs and five cats, so I have experienced the gamut of animal behavior, Manja.
