My tabby cat, Sal, did that to me recently. He was gone for 14 hours. They
can give you a heart attack, the little *******s.

Well, cats are pretty independent and sometimes they just need to "get
away" from it all.

I remember one cat that leaned on a second floor screen that wasn't
latched, and fell out the window. I figured dead cat. Nope. Cat was
at the door before I was, ran right back to the window, and jumped out.

I woke up to a cat fight at my bedroom window not long after I moved
into my house. The window was open, and just the screen between my cat
and one outside. 2nd story, but accessible from the stair railing that
goes up to my back deck. I woke up to loud squealing and hissing, and
the screen was hanging off the window with my cat nearly outside. I had
to grab him to keep him in. I ended up getting reinforcements for my
screens for when I want to open the windows. Screens by themselves
aren't very secure.
