If I keep my kitten inside is she likely to jump out of the window, we have a three storey house, or will she know bette

Could you just advise me as to whether my 4 month ( approx age ) old female kitten is likely to jump out of the window in order to get out, only we live in pain in a three storey house, the weather at the moment is glorious but I am a little nervous about leaving the windows open, please can you give me some advise.

No, she will not know better and if there are not secure screens protecting the window, she could very well jump or even fall out of the window. Cats do not "always land on their feet" like they say and she could be hurt very badly by a three story fall.

My cat Izzie chew and tore through a number of screens this summer, so even if you have a screen, if she's like Izzie, she might tear through it. I purchased a screen insert from my local hardware. You open the window, put this insert in and close the window on top of it. Even Izzie couldn't tear through this. They only cost a few dollars.

She will not purposefully fling herself out the window, but kittens are like little kids. They don't always understands the danger. She may jump at a passing buterfly only to find she is higher off the ground then imagined! Keep all your windows closed. There are also ways you can make it so she can't sit on the window sill.
