Well, the neighborhood critters have figured this out. The first 2 floors I use as storage for my business and the 3rd is my loft. The loft is impenetrable but you're in no mans land at night on the other floors.. So far I've come to find a opossum decided to take up shelter here during the winter. I caught him eating the cat food one night.. Several other cats.. For the past week I noticed my cat was blowing through some food so I knew I had a new visitor. Last night I met Mr. Raccoon. He greeted me at the top of my stairs. I scared him just as much as he did me so he moved along rather quickly.. Haven't seen or heard from him since, yet... Luckily my visitors have been more afraid of me than me of them so far though.. Also helps that I'm in town I guess.. If I were in the country I'd probably be rethinking the cat door.
