Our cat’s never jumped out of the window. But then, she’s never really done anything except sleep on expensive furniture and eat expensive food. In fact, she's effing useless. I put her in the garage once, hoping she'd rid me of a mouse; she saw the mouse, squealed and ran away.Originally posted by doodab View PostIf it's upstairs surely you can open the window?

WHICH mag rate that a best buy.
Thanks, now ordered via Amazon.
There was one for £700 which they rated top but I think I'd rather get this as a temp solution and look at having a builder in to put in proper wall mounted air con.Hard Brexit now!

If you want to prevent yourself overheating, you could try just removing your head from your arse occasionally. That will increase airflow.Originally posted by sasguru View PostWHICH mag rate that a best buy.

Its no surprise that you don't need air con. As nothing much electrical happens in your noggin, its probably all very cool up there.Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostIf you want to prevent yourself overheating, you could try just removing your head from your arse occasionally.

Only had him 12 months and I've lost count of how many mice he's caught. Although it would be nice if he didn't spend 15 minutes keeping them alive on the front lawn before finishing them off.Coffee's for closersComment

My parents have a cat that does that to rabbits. you can hear them squealing as he chucks them around the shed. He then eats the whole lot except the intestine and a little bit of fluff at the back. Quite a hefty cat.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostI should rent my cat out.
