How scary! I have those window screens that already come attached to the windows, all you do is slide them up and down. Thank goodness, because I live on the sixth floor and always like my windows open, even if it's just a little bit.

I remember once, when I had my cat Sydney (Rainbow Bridge now), he almost fell out the window. We lived on the second floor and there were no screens on our windows. Sydney was my first cat and I believed stories like, "cats can never fall out of a window" and "cats always land on their feet and never get hurt from a fall".

Anyway, my aunt was standing at the window and Sydney was walking on the ledge right next to her. Sydney slipped and was hanging onto the ledge with his front paws! My aunt covered her eyes, screamed and ran away from the window. I jumped off the couch, ran to the window, grabbed him by his paws and pulled him in with such force that we both landed on the floor. That was so scary, I was sure I had lost him! I don't know what I would have done!

Ugh, I don't even like to think about that...
