A close-up of a very clever cat, Kalle-Mathilda
My cats are getting very smart. Sometime before four AM on Monday morning the cats opened a window and all four kittens hopped out onto the snowy and hard ground around the house. Lucky for them I live on the ground floor of this high-rise, otherwise they would not have survived.

Here is Sara Cat telling me to rescue the kits.
My oldest cat, Sara, stayed behind caterwauling to get my attention. She didn't like her siblings at first, but now seems to care about their welfare. It was also lucky that they did not wander off and get run over by a car or a truck. I could scoop two of them up, the tuxedo-cats Pelle and Lill-Kajsa and bring them back inside, but had to wake my son up to get help with retrieving the other two, Peep and Kalle-Mathilda.
The following night, I woke up at four AM, again, and thought they might do the same trick. But all of the cats lay lazily around the living-room seemingly contented to remain inside, where it is warm.
I think I know which cat opened the window. Yesterday afternoon the door handle to my bedroom turned slowly and the door opened. I thought it was my son, Erik, who was sneeking in to me. But it was my son's striped cat, Kalle-Mathilda, who now knows how to open doors and probably even windows too.

Here is Erik with his favourite cat, Kalle-Mathilda, who can open doors and windows!
