After that, I did my best to make sure that there was no way for any cats to get through any of the vents that were there in the brick
My house’s foundation is not a slab. There is a crawl space underneath my house with brick surround. The brick part is visible from the outside and is visually appealing to the curb appeal and having a crawl space with access to it is quite convenient if you have to have a place for your ductwork and your plumbing to live. In the crawl space there is lots of air conditioning ductwork. In fact, there is duct work that’s not even connected anymore, and that is because I have had to replace my ductwork two separate times in my house since I have owned it for 20 years now. The first time I found out that my ducks were in trouble was about 2 years after I bought the house. All of a sudden, the house just would not get cool. Sometimes, where I live, down in the southeast, it gets so hot outside that people’s air conditioners just cannot keep up. I figured that is what was going on with my AC when it was always kind of hot in my house. Finally, though, I wised up and decided to call my heating and cooling company technician. They set up an appointment for a service call and that is when I discovered that the ductwork under my house had been torn apart by Little Critters that had sought Refuge in the crawl space of my house. both wild animals such as raccoons and possums, as well as feral cats in the neighborhood, had decided to go down there and soak up some of my expensive air conditioning. After that, I did my best to make sure that there was no way for any cats to get through any of the vents that were there in the brick. Nevertheless, a couple of years later, I had the same symptoms again.
