anybody wanna hear a funny, not so funny, story from 13 years ago?
at the front of our building, where the steps are pushed up against the house, there is a crack on each side. I never thought a cat would try to get in there, chipmunks yes, but cat no. we let the cats out & I guess we forgot one & while we were at the pool, something happened. I think a neighbors dog - off leash - chased her in there. but once in, it could not do a reverse squeeze to get out
I called around & the fire dept. offered to use sledge hammers on it. um no. our Daughter, 15 at the time, pretty much spent the night outside talking to "Vic". she was "her" cat (we had 3 & that one attached herself to our Daughter)
then I realized the basement wall was right there & called around & found a friend with a Sawzall, aka reciprocating saw! oh yeah! cut a hole in the wall, shhh don't tell the condo police. the rest is history
back to safety, happy girls
to my knowledge the only critters getting in there now are rabbits & rats
