DUDO WAS IN a great and agitated mood this morning. At 5:35, he jumped on the bed all excited and started giving me kisses. He then ran and got a toy for us to play with. He ran around the house playing with his brother, Moose, and then came running back to me. When San Geraldo got out of bed, Dudo raced to the top of his tree and played adorable so he'd get petted. We both commented on how sweet — and energized — he was... for hours!
At 11, our neighbors Jean and Ray rang the bell.
"Don't mean to bother you, but you said we should let you know...," Jean began. "Dudo was on our terrace at 5:25 this morning. Ray looked up from bed and saw Dudo staring in the window. We didn't let him in, of course."
"The little shit!" I remarked.
We thought our glass curtain had solved that problem.
I told San Geraldo while we were having coffee downstairs.
"The little shit!" he said.
You can see in the photos below what the little shit did.
DUDO ESTABA DE muy buen humor y agitado esta mañana. A las 5:30, él saltó a la cama todo emocionado y comenzó a darme besos. Luego corrió y consiguió un juguete para mi. Corrió por la casa jugando con su hermano, Moose, y luego vino corriendo hacia mí. Cuando San Geraldo se levantó de la cama, Dudo corrió a la cima de su árbol y jugó adorable para que lo acariciaran. Ambos comentamos lo dulce — y energizado — que era... ¡por horas!
A las 11, nuestros vecinos, Jean y Ray, tocaron el timbre.
"No quiero molestarte, pero dijiste que deberíamos avisarte", comenzó Jean. "Dudo estaba en nuestra terraza a las 5:25 de esta mañana. Ray se despertó y vio a Dudo mirando por la ventana. No lo dejamos entrar, por supuesto".
"¡El mierdito!" comenté yo.
Pensamos que nuestra cortina de vidrio había resuelto ese problema.
Un poco después le conté la historia a San Geraldo.
"¡El mierdito!" él dijo.
Puedes ver en las fotos a continuación lo que hizo la mierdita.
 |
| ONLY THE CORNER WINDOW WAS OPEN. SOLO LA VENTANA DE LA ESQUINA ESTABA ABIERTA. |
 |
| HE HAD TO JUMP FROM THE FLOOR UP TO THE CONCRETE PLANTER OUTSIDE. ÉL TENÍA QUE SALTAR DEL PISO HASTA AL PLANTERO DE CONCRETO AFUERA. |
 |
| HE WALKED THE LEDGE OUTSIDE THE WINDOWS. CAMINÓ LA REPISA FUERA DE LAS VENTANAS. |
 |
| HE REACHED THE NEXT CONCRETE WELL AND CROSSED TO THE NEIGHBORS. ÉL LLEGÓ AL PRÓXIMO PLANTERO DE CONCRETO Y CRUZÓ A LOS VECINOS. |

| THE EXHAUSTED LITTLE SHIT NOW. EL MIERDITO AGOTADO AHORA. |
Snooze Time after a courageous and successful sojourn to the neighbours, albeit super dangerous.Maybe a screen door is the answer to your nerves!
ReplyDeleteRon:
DeleteYep. We're going to order three screens for strategic positions. The Little Shit!
Yikes!!!!!!!! Good thing cats have nine lives!!! I could never watch him do that. He looks proud of himself though
ReplyDeletemistress maddie:
DeleteHe was SO excited afterward. I should have known something was up. He was pretty pissed off today when he saw I had carefully slid the windows so there's air coming through but not enough space for him to jump. Now we have have a few screens installed.
He took it as a challenge - his very only little ledge challenge, it sure takes the energy out of a kitty. Kids and pets, they will do it to you every time.
ReplyDeleteCheapchick:
DeleteThey're both very happy and loved cats, but yesterday you would have thought he had won the lottery.
Give them an opening and they're gone.
ReplyDeleteHe is quite the adorable daredevlish little shit, though!
Bob:
DeleteNeither had ever done that before. The only time they would go the ledge was when the inside corner was clear and they could get to the neighbors. Impossible to keep a step ahead of these two. A few strategically spaced screens are next.
Dudo SPITS on your rules and restrictions!
ReplyDeleteDebra:
DeleteHe knows clearly that he can't go on the ledge. And he always strictly obeys except, obviously, when we're not looking.
Dudo, you are MY KIND OF CAT! Keep on being yourself, no matter how your humans try to stymie and oppress you!
ReplyDeleteHer Royal Highness:
DeleteDon't encourage him. It's for his own safety. (Dudo, don't listen to her!)
Dudo is quite the escape artist.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteHe can slip between sweaters in a perfectly folded stack on a shelf without disrupting any of them. The Little Shit.
Dudo: 'Geez do humans ever get excited over nothing!!'
ReplyDeleteThe little shit!
Jim:
DeleteHe thinks he got away with it!
OMB! better make sure the windows are tightly closed before you go to bed!
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteI closed the corner window and slid all the others so there's space for air but not a cat. Screens!
And that look says: I will do it again!
ReplyDeleteWillym:
DeleteWell, it was so much fun!
That chastened look doesn't say 'contrition' to me. He's wondering when he can do a repeat performance, the little DEVIL!
ReplyDeleteRay:
DeleteNot chastened at all. He doesn't even know he's been ratted out!
That darn cat!
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth:
DeleteThey should make a movie about him.
If only they could get Dean Jones!
DeleteWalt the Fourth:
DeleteI loved Dean Jones when I was a kid. I found it in recent years that he was an ultra-conservative Christian fundamentalist who started an organization that continues now under a different name and is extremely anti-gay and anti-most-things-I-believe in. They financially support and preach to viciously homophobic African nations. I guess he must have lost that "love bug." Let's cast someone else this time!
My dog used to escape our yard a lot, she'd always come back but she was a magician a lot of times. Always finding some loophole in the security.
ReplyDeleteAdam:
DeleteWe thought we had won the war, but we had only won a few battles.
But he's so beautiful! (And a naughty little shit.)
ReplyDeleteRozzie:
DeleteAnd he was so unbelievably adorable after his adventure. I almost feel guilty depriving him of risking life and limb.
Cute little shit
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteThat he is. And he knows it.
