He couldn't jump the fence, it was much too high for his short legs, but there was a post at the bottom that was not secure and with a hard enough push he could squeeze his way out through the gap. He had discovered it a few months ago, his two-legs often were gone during the day and in his endless boredom he realized they left the basement window unlatched. The window itself faced the inside of the yard and he was not so miserable at jumping he couldn't get to the shelf next to it so in no time he was free. The yard quickly lost his interested after a few weeks, rolling in the grass and clawing the wicker chairs on the patio weren't entertaining enough to hold him for long. Then he found the fence spot.
The window closed on its own, swinging both ways to let him in and out but the fence post...as long as he remembered to wedge a piece of the broken concrete there, he could wiggle his way back in. His plan today was to take a walk around the corner to the clinic, nose around to see if the other cat who lived there was around but if not he'd keep walking to the empty car lot nearby to sunbath on the nice warm pavement.
Fizzy's stubby legs set to work, his pale dipped paws tapping along as he waddled down the beaten path to his destination; curled ears bouncing and bell jingling.
