No, I am not talking about the blue-plate special at your local Chinese eatery or the latest sexual position I have created. Last week as I was getting ready for a motivational conference I had an issue with my cat that I thought I would never have to deal with. As the weather has gotten a little nicer, I have opened my windows a little to get some fresh air in. Several weeks ago we had unseasonably warm weather so they were opened then too. My two siamese cats (kittens actually) grew quite fond of the open windows and started laying in the window sills (double hung). When it turned cold, I had to close the windows. Much to my cats suprise they were closed. The first attempt at jumping into the window sill ended up with a head-butt into the window pane. After a few more attempts, they finally realized they were closed (so I assume they did). At any rate, since the weather was nice last week I had the windows opened again. When I woke up one morning, one of the cats jumped out of the window sill back into the bedroom. The other did not move. As I got up out of bed, I noticed that Mai-Tai (yes, they are named Mai-Tai and Wasabi) had wedged herself between the window and the screen while standing on her hind legs. As I attempted to get her out, the screen popped out and out the second floor window she went and I heard her hit the deck below.
