Naw-Tee Eddie! Screens our for your own protection. You better tell Meowmie you are really, really sorry and be on your best behaviour from now on!!

**kuhio98** · 07-23-2005, 03:33 PM

SIGH... Eddie, I'm sorry the hoomans didn't appreciate your quality control testing. Obviously, the screen is an inferior brand. Perhaps now they will solicit your remodeling ideas.

**rg_girlca** · 07-23-2005, 10:35 PM

Eddie, if you wanted a kitty door, don't you think it would have been better if you asked first?

**Sonia59** · 07-24-2005, 01:31 PM

Well, Eddie, don't worry this screen was bad quality anyway...not even cat tested and approved!

**Ally Cat's Mommy** · 07-24-2005, 01:37 PM

EDDIE!!! I think being nominated as "supervisor" during the recent building work has gone to your head! You REALLY need to get the homeowner's approval before making major alterations!!

(But we still love you)

**LoudLou** · 07-24-2005, 02:11 PM

Hey, Eddie!

Are sure ya can't try blaming it on the Squirrels...

Sorry, Dude...

Oh, and Eddie, you know what’s gonna happen if you scratch more on that screen door ... only it will be on a more frequent basis, I'm sure!

You certainly didn’t enjoy this!

**Ally Cat's Mommy** · 07-25-2005, 04:24 AM

OMG!!!! Eddie's face in that last photo is priceless!!!!

**Maya & Inka's mommy** · 07-25-2005, 06:37 AM

OMG, those pics are priceless, Randi!!

Dear Eddie:

Nice job.

My Mom thinks you may be better at the cosmetic side of destruction than I am. I merely opened seams at the top and then split the screening down the middle so I might climb out on the other side of the porch. Sorry, no photos. It is history now. See paragraph below.

As a result of my skills and ambition to get outside, my Mom spent hundreds of dollars on new screening for the entire (yes entire) porch this spring and she also spent hours re-screening. She bought some pet screening (cannot tear through it at all) and now I am good at just scaling the screening but no break outs so far. Lucy has gotten good at doing the splat cat thing on the screening too! We are working on defeating her, but so far the screening is winning.

My Mom got the screening on line at a place called
"doityourself.com".... She bought it in a huge roll and lots to rescreen just about every window in the house, if necessary. So far we have only destroyed the porch screening. Its more fun and hey, folks can actually watch me in action! I did have a peanut gallery for one episode but my Mom didn't find it so amusing.

Eddie, I want to assure you that there IS a connection between your nail cutting frequency and how often you destroy things with your nails. My Mom cannot catch me to do my nails, but I have been good lately anyway. You can't have everything Eddie. Your nails must be kept short. (Maybe you could chew the screening....?)

Keeping a low profile for a week or so might just help your situation.

With love

Your partner in crime,

Oh no, Eddie!!! You were such a good boy while we were there! Evidently you need to have company around more often. Either you get more attention that way....or it's just more eyes to make sure you're behaving!

I just love those pictures Randi! He certainly does not look happy, but the way he has all his toes spread out makes it look like he's at least trying to be helpful.

**ramanth** · 07-26-2005, 12:21 PM

OMG! LOL! Randi, those pictures are priceless!

It wasn't the cats fault, but when I was petsitting my friends Newfoundland, he put his head THROUGH my parents screen door.

The cats decided to use it as a pet door.

My parents had the screen replaced with new screen specially designed for people with pets. It's worked well. The cats climb it and there is no sign of wear or tear and Kia has bounced off it a few times.

From Lightning:
"Great job Eddie! I have already tried to make my own door into the awesome and messy back room (with lots of places to hide) but it is not big enough for me yet. Those mean people won't let me back there because last time I opened the back door and got outside! How stupid is that! I was just curious! And you should put up a big fuss when you get your nails clipped. I like mine nice and sharp-just in case a birdie comes in the house!

GOOD advice, JuniRose!!!

I am sure, Edwina's Secretary will appreciate it

Eddie, you are not the only misunderstood kid on the block. Striker modified my screen door too. Attached is a picture. Please note the other designer touches, such as the muddy pawprints.
