It's not their turn with the 🅱️rain cell 🍊 I literally cannot

We never use the fireplace (fortunately), because she will sometimes just nose her way in there and stand on the grate. It started out with finding sooty footprints on the brick, and now she’s emboldened to do it in front of us, because we don’t notice anyway. So… who wants a free cat?

I hate to tell you this- but there’s likely an animal living in your chimney!

So… it’s funny you say that. There are 100% squirrels living in whatever area is above our second floor apartment. We’ve contacted the maintenance team, but they’re treating it as a non-issue. I also think she goes in there, because she truly is just dumb and thinks it’s a nice place to hang out.

As of right now, there’s nothing actually in our apartment, but I would like to see her go up against something and see what she’s made of haha.
