Yes you read that blog post quite correctly. Mr GBT has been making a cat trap. Before you all take up your quills and start telling me off [as if you would you lovely peoples!] there's nowt nefarious going on here.
When we had Psychocat we could only ever open our windows a fraction as she liked to window sill walk. This would not have been a problem if it had not been on the outside. With a gammy back leg, her balance was sometimes lacking and I didn't fancy her chances had she fallen from upstairs. Since her demise we have had the double glazing redone with small windows at the top. Fabulous new cat and open windows we thought....wrong.
To my utter shock and horror Humphrey rather fancies balancing on the upper ledge of the window....it's at least an inch wide and as you know he's no small feline. The first time he launched himself at the open window I just caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye. Instinct kicked in and I managed to grab him just in time...I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. He tried his party trick on TYM too and honestly I've never heard such a string of expletives so creatively strung together. Again he managed to escape with his nine lives intact, but from then on the windows have had to stay locked open only a fraction. Not much fun in the hotter weather!
We now have three of these contraptions [they'll be painted white] which can be fixed across the upper windows upstairs. If the little monster tries again he'll just lightly bump his noggin, but more importantly he'll stay safely indoors [he's got a cat flap so can come and go as he pleases] when he's upstairs.
Honestly you couldn't make it up!
