      Then it can climb out because it is a spider.

      Then it would fall up and never get stuck in the window.

      You cut its ground harness with your boomerang.

  To answer seriously: it is a big problem that if a cat tries to jump through the window and gets stuck there then it can hurt itself badly or even die. That’s why responsible cat owners use guards like these:

  The Germans will never be able to tell anyone, as they cannot pronounce the word ‘squirrel’

    We of course identified that issue a long time ago and set our best poets and thinkers and engineers to solve the problem. They came up with an utterly ingenious solution that is in use to this day: das Eichhörnchen.

  Squirrels are OK, but yeah, it is a subject that is little spoken about in Germany that once in a while, you’ll have to remove a dead cat that got stuck, if you leave them open.

  Quite difficult for it to get stuck unless it gets stuck on the edges. If that happens, you can simply lift the foot of the squirrel and it will be released.

  Also, I don't know the situation in Germany, but here in Romania it's pretty hard for a squirrel to even reach the top floors of my building.
