A man who lives in a first-floor apartment devised a contraption to let his cat out easily - a DIY "cat-elevator."<br /><br />Kai Liebe, 33, pullies his cat down every morning from his kitchen window and then back up when the moggie is done with his walk.<br /><br />Kai adopted Miso, four, in 2018, but the cat loved being outside so much that he couldn't bear keeping him inside.<br /><br />So he decided to build a DIY "elevator", which he pullies using his window handle, with a duffel bag and a rope.<br /><br />Kai, a journalist from Munich, Germany, said: "You can't keep him inside. If I let him in and try to go back to sleep he will wake me up by screaming.<br /><br />"The idea comes from my neighbour. He lets the cat out like that and has been for eight years.<br /><br />"I always wanted an outdoor cat because my neighbour's cat is always roaming free and it seems happy."<br /><br />Now, Miso goes outside to roam all the time and Kai can track him using a GPS on his collar.<br /><br />Miso is a well-behaved cat so Kai doesn't worry about him disappearing.<br /><br />When he sees him come near the house, Kai whistles and Miso runs right back to to the "elevator."<br /><br />Kai said: "We've been doing it every morning and evening for the last four years.<br /><br />"As soon as I seen him nearby I open the window and whistle and he comes running back to get in the bag."<br /><br />Aside from convenience, Kai's favourite thing is seeing how much joy Miso's elevator brings passers-by.<br /><br />He said: "It always makes people's day. My roommate lets Miso down sometimes and always texts me things like: 'An old lady saw me and she was cracking up.'"<br /><br />Kai sometimes worry that someone might think Miso is a stray but the animal is tagged and has Kai's contact information on him.<br /><br />He said: "The only streets are 100 to 200 meters away so I'm not worried about him going into the road.<br /><br />"I get a lot of comments on Instagram saying: 'What is a coyote gets him,' I live in Munich, there are no coyotes here.<br /><br />"In winter I was worried that someone would try to rescue him, but it's never happened."
