Rocky calls the police...
Feb. 28th, 2013 11:48 pmSo, Rocky apparently had an eventful day...
Whilst Mom and I were at work and Rich was at lunch with one of his Marine buddies, New Castle County Cops responded to a call from ADT that an alarm was going off in the house. ADT called Rich and Mom. Rich ignored the call since he didn't recognize the number, but then took Mom's call when she asked where he was, is he all right, and so on.
Everyone's fine, but the alarm for the garage door was triggered. When Rich got back to the house, the door leading to the garage was open.
Note the sisal mouse hanging off the door knob...
We figure that either the door wasn't closed all the way, or the material managed to grip the handle/knob the right way, and that while playing with it, Rocky managed to open the garage door, which has an alarm on it, and set off the house alarm.
Of course, the alarm company is notified, and when no one responded when they called the house, they then called the police, who then came out to the house looking for bad boys. Not realizing they needed to look for bad cats.
Actually, Rocky didn't do anything bad.
This is the second time the cats have managed to set off the alarm and cause the county cops to come out here. The first time was several years ago, when TomTom and Riffy were lounging in the kitchen window box and displaced a ceramic planter into the sink. The crash of the ceramic onto dishes and glasses set off the audio sensor, which is programmed to respond to the sound of breaking glass. Again, no one was home at the time, the cops came out, and we had to figure out what happened when we got home. Well, it was pretty obvious, actually, once one walked into the kitchen and saw the mess in the sink.
What can I say? My cats are real party animals. I mean, when the cops have to come out... Yeah.
In other news... This cold is kicking my ass. Time for meds, a hot shower, and sleep...
