During the lock down, I had decided to work from our apartment in the first floor. That way I could keep my work space separate from our home in the ground floor.
Yesterday I had gone down for a break closing the main door. A few minutes later I got back and closed the grill door and started working. I heard a feeble noise coming in from the bathroom. I thought it was water dripping from the tap and decided to go and shut it after my call.
After the call, I still heard the sound and wondered what it could be since it did not seem to be the sound of water. With caution, I walked a few steps, taking a peep inside the bathroom from a distance. That is when I noticed a squirrel going back and forth on the netlon(mosquito net) that was stuck on the bathroom window.
I was surprised on how the little fellow got in. I did close the doors when I left for the break, right? So how did he get in. The squirrel was moving over the net trying hard to find a way to get out.
I cautiously went and closed the bedroom doors and the kitchen door and opened the main door wide, hoping the little fellow would get a clue and get out through the main door. I waited for a minute (although it felt as if it was hours) and slowly walked toward the bathroom.
The squirrel did not even realize that I had opened the main door which was the easiest way to get out. Instead it was hovering over the net. And that is when I realized that mr squirrel was nibbling the net. I was sure he would not succeed. That was made of plastic, isn't it.
But no, I was wrong. It made a very small hole on the mosquito net and made it's escape!!!
For a minute, I tried to grasp what had just happened. A squirrel in the bathroom and got itself out through a small hole it had made on the net!!!
I went in to look at the hole. It was a very small hole. How did it even get it's whole body out through that small hole is something I still can't believe!!!
We finally changed the mosquito nets to make sure the squirrel did not get back through the same hole inside.
The only question that hovered in my mind the whole day was - how did it get in and how fast it cut the net and got out!!!
