Compulsive need to check locks not helped by the fact that the one time I didn't my cat got out onto the fucking balcony while I was gone
#i came home from an appointment and heard her crying and had to look around for her for a minute#before i found her scratching at the glass on the outside of the BALCONY DOOR#we havent used the balcony since yesterday and she slept with us last night + we fed her this morning#+ i checked on all the cats to make sure they were okay before i left (another compulsion)#so it had to have happened while i was gone#i called the office to make sure no one entered our apartment while i was gone#and although theyve still got one maintenance guy to double check with the answer seems to be a definite no#the only thing we can think of is that the door was unlocked + didnt latch all the way and it blew open and then shut again with the wind#which like weve put in a maintenance request about the door not latching all the way before#but they told us it was just bc of the weather stripping and we just needed to pull harder#its still difficult to pull hard enough to shut it all the way tho. especially since the handle is kinda wobbly#but locking it works even if its not latched all the way so ive been trying to make sure its always locked#last night was like the ONLY time i didnt check that lock before i went to bed#and of course that was the one time it was fucking unlocked 😭 and my cat GOT OUTSIDE while i was gone#im just so glad shes safe and didnt try to jump or something. i dont know how long she was out there. i was gone for like 2.5 hours#she was scared and thirsty but she was still THERE thank god#i still havent stopped shaking#rambling
