      Last week I visited a house overlooking the Georges River, Sydney south. Leafy area. The owners of the house told me they leave the back door open for the cat at night. That’s not a cat flap, that’s a freaking door open.

      Setting aside the free ranging cat especially at night - it’s an open door. Anything can just waltz in if they want to. Anything from mozzies to people. And near the water in a leafy area everything is extra here. More bugs. More reptiles. Rats. Possums.

      So, yeah. A window with no screens. I believe it. I’ve seen worse
