Foiled again!
 
Rudi here again.

Remember I told you how I got the fridge open but that the humans fixed something to the door that stopped me doing it again? Well, I thought I’d have a go at the other fridge this time. I discovered that the feet turn on this one and that if I turned just one foot far enough, the fridge would rock forwards - something else they fixed with the other one by putting a thin strip of wood under its front feet, which don’t turn round. 

The humans didn’t realise what I was doing, thinking I was earnestly trying to retrieve a toy that had become stuck underneath. When I thought they were settled down in front of that thing which has moving pictures on it (absolutely fascinating by the way), I had a go at opening the door and it worked, hurrah! Not so much of a hurrah when I didn’t find anything interesting to eat in it. Just fruit and veg and some things in boxes I couldn’t open. Then, to make things worse, one of the humans caught me at it, found what I’d done to the foot and screwed it all the way down again so the fridge can’t wobble forwards.

Rats! I’ll have to be more sneaky the next time I try to get into something they don’t want me to.

Jinsky has been having fun. He jumped across from the bannister rail on the landing, over the stairwell, to the window opposite, which is something I’ve been contemplating having a go at myself. The humans laughed as he looked down at them from a height and then tried to persuade him to come down. He let them try to reach him by ladder and then deftly leapt from the windowledge  to the top of of one of the stairposts and down onto the stairs.
