My husband and I awoke to a strange noise, at least it was 10 am. It sounded like a cat meowing outside so I quickly verified our two cats were in and he went to see what it was. Turns out my landlady’s big orange cat who I had only seen once, was somehow stuck on top of an awning over the alleyway. We saw that there was a window right on the fire escape cracked just a few inches and it seems “Orange” (or whatever his Polish name is) had gotten out and landed on the awning a few feet under the fire escape. Our landlady wasn’t home, but I noticed a ladder in the yard and Ryan got it out to go fetch the cat down. As soon as it saw that, the cat freaked out and decided to jump back onto the fire escape and fit its way back inside the wind0w crack. I guess all it needed was a little encouragement.
UPDATE: I told the landlady about the morning’s event and showed her the picture, which was a shock to her. Turns out that “Orange” is actually called Coco. And Coco has a twin, Rocco, who was taken to the vet this morning because he was losing weight. My landlady said the vet found something and he was having surgery this afternoon. I guess Coco was freaking out without Rocco and decided to escape to find him?? Our thoughts are with Rocco and hope he and Coco can be reunited soon.

Dexter, the sneeze-o-meter
October 7th, 2008 klmayMy husband wrote an article for AM New York’s new pet feature, Petropolis, about our cat Dexter and his uncanny ability to predict a sneeze.? We always knew he was a star!
