I was working from home on Wednesday. I had to move a lamp that I was giving away to the ground floor for collection and decided to leave the house with the metal gate closed but door opened. It took less than 5 mins.
When I came back up, I saw a cat that looks like Mochi at the 6th floor lift landing. Of course that was Mochi and of course the metal gate was still closed. I have no idea how he managed to escape. He jumped over the mesh that we have put up on the metal gate? That is already waist height. We have to mesh some more?
For the rest of the day, I kept the door closed, in case he tried to escape again while I was busy and distracted by work. Later in the evening, he showed me exactly how he escaped. Mochi didn’t jump, he climbed. He climbed until the end of the mesh, then he wriggled his way to the other side of the gate.
Nana said that we should mesh higher but Mochi can climb until the top do the metal gate. He has done that and didn’t hesitate to show us that the very night. He climbed right to the top of the gate, wriggled his head out and got stuck for a while, until he decided that he would jump back down where he started. It was a big jump and we were glad that he didn’t hurt himself.
I haven’t decided what to do. Meanwhile, when we leave the door opened, I am constantly peeping to see that we didn’t lose the cat. Zzzzz..
