My parents came over for dinner tonight, and while we were eating Sushi showed off some of his new tricks. His vertical leaping ability has increased now to either the height of the kitchen counter, or the height of the railing leading up to my sister's room over the garage, whichever is more annoying. Wonderful Husband and I, in fact, were amused earlier, watching him go up that rather steep slope to the landing. However, this did set a warning bell in my head and so this afternoon I put Sushi's first Big Kitty Collar (safety collar, color: black because I wasn't cruel enough to pick the hot pink one) on him, complete with a tag with his name and both the home phone number and my cell number engraved on it.

While we were eating, Sushi falls off the landing... on the outside of the fence.

(Neither he nor Paris are allowed outside except on the patio.)

Cue Wonderful Husband rushing outside to the bushes where Sushi landed (completely unhurt, and now exploring the Wonderful Wide World of Outside), followed by me with first the laser pointer (enticement) and then the water bottle (deterrant). We managed to capture him after a few minutes (to his credit, he wasn't trying to get away, he was just exploring the bushes). But Sushi is now grounded....
