he has 1 day left...

That patio heater base kept me warm all night, but morning calls for expanding boundaries! I marched across the flagstones straight to the tall wooden boundary fence. A heavy black iron drop-latch held the wooden gate shut, daring to block the open sidewalk beyond. No retreat from a closed door! I backed up two paces across the mossy stone, leaped upward, and clamped both plush claws around the cold iron bar. It resisted with a stubborn clatter. I planted my hind feet against the weathered cedar plank, whipped my orange tail down for leverage, and shoved upward with everything I had. Clank! The heavy iron lever popped free from the catch, and the gate drifted open an inch into the breeze!
