About a year and half ago we coaxed a feral cat into our house with a piece of string. At the time he was about 10 months old, but very feral.
He's gotten to trust us although he is very shy. He'll bury his head to hide his face when we pet him.
Yesterday, my wife's at work and l'm at the computer desk.
l just put some aluminum foil over a west facing window for the summer. The window sill is about 7ft off the floor and we have a curio cabinet of sorts next to the window,
next to an end table. So a few of our cats will access the window via said furniture.
l heard a dull crash and get up to investigate.
On the widow sill l had some potted cactus. Diesel, that's the new cats name knocked one of the pots off and before l was able to walk over,
he was already on the floor sniffing his carnage. The pot landed on a plastic, two sided water dish and broke the dish. Water along with potting soil is now soaked into the carpet.
l scoop up as much soil l can and put it back in the pot while Diesel is lying under the end table watching me with is tail twitching and l swear he had a devilish look on his face and was laughing

.
l vacuumed up the remaining soil, got a new bag of soil from the garage and top off the pot with the cactus in it and l put the cactus back on the sill.
Dummy me l left the open bag of soil on the carpet while l put the cactus back on the sill. l hear a scratching noise and look down from the ladder,
and here's Diesel digging in the bag of potting soil. Yeah he knocked the bag over and created another black stain on the carpet.
Diesel is a DAMN CAT!
