I have a real problem with my cat and the weather stripping.
My cat loves to go outside and unfortunately because of this he’s for some reason gotten this idea into his head that if he calls at the weather stripping at the bottom of our door to the backyard that that will somehow let him outside when I don’t want to let him out.
Anyways, unfortunately he’s destructive and he’s destroyed the weather stripping twice now and because of this whether it’s letting all kinds of cold air inside of our house. If he keeps it up I’m going to start keeping him in a separate room so he can not damage the house anymore. He’s had free rein of the house for too long, and while I’ve tried to be nice to him all it’s doing is leading to him being more and more destructive. Now every time it’s cold outside I can feel cold air from the outside sleeping into the house. In fact I’ve noticed that I’ve had to turn my heating system on the thermostat up higher to compensate for the cold air this weakness of the house because of the now open areas the cold air can get in. I’m going to for the third time fix the weather stripping, this way I don’t have to go and run my heating system extra anymore. Running my heating system more than I would like to is costing me money, as well as it’s costing me comfort because I can feel the cold air in the draft it’s going to the house. So I’m going to put a stop to it.
