Pole�s Polycarbonate � Done!

�This morning, Pole made another attempt to escape through the gutter-gap.

�But this time, we had hung clothes on the clothes line so she could not get a good foothold.

�I’m learning.

 

�Pole looks at the cat-grille but somehow, she decides not to try.

I’m sure this is absolutely chicken-feed for her.

�Not trying, Pole?

�The contractor did not turn up yesterday, so I called him again today. He said he’d be coming in the morning. I cancelled all my plans just to wait for him.

�Pole, Pole…

 

�Tabs follows closely, hoping to learn a trick or two.

Finally, at almost 1pm, the contractors arrived.

At long last…

�It took them quite sometime to put up the polycarbonate sheet.

�Hang on, Pole. This is all for you.

�After almost an hour, it’s up.

The contractors left and I let Pole out.

Time for the acid test.

�You can’t really see the polycarbonate unless you stand near enough.
That way, it’s not so unsightly.

�It’s screwed onto the grille. But the top is rather flimsy. The contractor had wanted to do a frame, but I don’t think it would be necessary. It would be very ugly too.

�The cat-netting on the kitchen windows and door was done yesterday. It’s actually aluminium mosquito netting.

�Hmm…so how, Pole?

�She examines the new contraption, and seems to know it’s futile to even try.
I tell you, this is one smart girl we are dealing with here.

�Cow is still eyeing the gap.

�Pole surveys from various angles to examine all possibilities.

�I suppose she is now thinking of scaling the netting. That would be one mean task.

�But one of my vets said her grandma’s cats actually scaled the cat-fence (like mine) and escaped.

�No way, Pole?�

�Mother and daughter eyeing the outside world.

�You think we can ever go out, mum?

You bet. Just give me sometime to work something out.

�For now, I’ll be good.

But the game isn’t over yet.

Just wait and see…

I sure hope and pray you are wrong, Pole!!

I just spent RM550 on this polycarbonate Pole-proofing plus the gutter-gap proofing,
PLEASE tell me you’re wrong, Pole!

My plan now is to let Pole be free whenever I am home. With this polycarbonate-Pole-proofing, at least I can do my work and chores without having to supervise Pole closely. But when I go out, I’d still keep her back in her condo, to be on the safe side.

What do you think?

�An hour after the acid test, Pole decides she’ll take a nap first.

And so does Tiger!

Everyone has been quite envious of Pole’s private condo and I’ll bet they wish they had one too!
