What is odd is that I haven't seen this cat for weeks (months?) And it isn't the dominant local moggy. As well as the window cleaner disturbing the gate top arrangement, yesterday morning I topped up the bird feeder after seeing a flock of tits about. This can only be seen from upper windows, and the homes in the direction it went off in have very small high windows unsuitable for cats. Perhaps it saw the birds and came to look more closely. The first time I saw it, it was crouched under the feeder pole!
