I'm getting too old to be a burglar

Seriously.
It took me 5 whole minutes to break into a house this morning going through a window. The people are gone on vacation for a few days so no one was there.
Back in the olden days, when I was known far and wide as a 'person of interest', I could have done it in 30 seconds.
But I am older these days...not quite as limber...contorting myself like that was not an enjoyable experience.
So I am glad I don't go around breaking into houses all the time. 
But since no one was home...and the cats were hungry...and I didn't know where they'd left the key...I resurrected some old 'skills'. 
But hey...the cats got fed, I didn't get stuck in the window, and I know where the key is now.

I hope they had intended to leave someone a key to feed the cats....

@JolietJake ah well, that's ok, and a tad amusing for you having to climb in a window

They did...the instructions were just extremely vague as to where it was hidden, and they were in an area of no reception when I tried to text them about it.

Sorry to hear you've returned to your life of crime 
But I'm sure the cats aren't.

@JolietJake i guess anybody who saw you "checking the windows" would think you just locked yourself out
