More than 100 native species in Australia are struggling for survival. The largest factor in this battle is feral cats. They have already caused the extinction of several types of ground-dwelling birds. Cats are also a threat to small and medium-sized mammals. To gain better control over feral cat populations, many municipalities in Australia are creating cat curfews for domestic animals. The curfews specify that household cats must be kept within the confines of the owner’s property. The cat enclosure business is currently booming as owners try to restrict their meow-makers.
While some owners fight against keeping their animals confined, others are working to follow the new cat curfew laws. Today’s star performer is a cat not keen on the new cat enclosure mommy and daddy are building. You can see the cat dad on the right adjusting the top part of the barrier. Construction wasn’t even finished when this kitty explorer found something curious.
Stretching as tall as he could, the cat decided that this anomaly needed a closer inspection.
Still unable to see much, the inquisitive critter hoisted itself even further. Now, with a clear view of the outside world, we can only imagine what kitty thoughts raced through its brain.
It did not take long to discover the cat’s full intention. With a little shimmy here and a skootch there, the cat deftly wriggled through the tiny space to achieve its goal. FREEDOM!
