So your dogs are as old as mine. I have a lab mix name Kathrin she'll be
10 years old July 1st & 2 ****zus who just turn 11 years old but I also
have a husband who is practically bedridden & I my self have bad legs &
I'm 61. but I still take my dogs out. But we were taking about your cat.
Your cat is getting out because of that door. Am I right? Or did I miss
something?

A doggy door??? Never heard of that, I presume it's like an
over-sized
catflap?? Must be an American thing. The electronic thing sounds
best,
though I've never seen one so I couldn't comment! Presume it works
like the magnetic catflap. Or do what the Brits do - take your dog
out
2 or 3 times a day supervised when it needs its poop!

We have fenced back gardens (yards) and front gardens are usually
fenced and gated but not always . ( An Englishman's home is his castle
LOL) and we also let our cats out so its not a problem.

We have a wall but the cat can easily jump up and over. Are you mainly
talking about keeping your cat from being attacked because I can't see

how
a
fence can keep a cat from roaming off and running away (my wife will be
heartbroken for months if this happens with Brittney).

Again see www.catfencein.com



So you put that all along your fence? I'll look into it. Thanks.

Telling someone to "get off their butt and walk their dog" isn't being
snotty?

I wasn't trying to be nasty or sarcastic. I also have to take my dogs
out. If you're worried abut your cat taking off & not coming back home
like your other cats did. Wouldn't it make sense to you to fix it s your
cat can't get out? The only way I can think of is to put a different
door in with out a doggie door. In the mean time sense your original
door will be off it's hinges making it easy for your cat or dog to get
out. I thought it would be wise to confine [ especially your cat] in
another room until you put your new door in. Naturally the new door has
to bought & right next to you so it caN be done right away. Where I
live 3 families lost their cats. One was my daughter inlaw because she
didn't bother having them fixed. She actually had 3 males. Only one male
kept coming back home. Finally she smarted up & had him fixed the other
person had a male cat that was fixed & it still disappeared. If your cat
is getting out by using that door. Don't you think the door should be
changed for a different one? I wasn't trying to be snotty or anything
like that. Too many cats & dogs disappear.

Your right, I did say that. I just know if that was my cat I would make
sure my cat couldn't get outside. You have that door so your dogs have
an easy way to go in and out which is fine but you also have to worry
about the cat. So what do you think is best? Maybe you have another and
better idea. You have to think of something. Maybe I said about the door
the wrong way but that's the only thing I could think of to save your ot
your fiance's cat.

Hi. My wife has lost two cats in the last few years that just ran away and
never returned.

More likely they got lost and didn't return because they couldn't figure
out where home was.

So she is really concerned that our current indoor cat
Brittney will flee now that she has gone out the doggie door a couple of
times. We are currently locking the doggie door while she has full reign of
the house but it's getting harder and harder to juggle the dogs and her and
keep her from "escaping". Both times she just sat on the porch and let me
bring her in. Should I invest in an electronic door and just let the dogs
have "keys" or does someone have a better suggestion.?




I wouldn't let the dogs loose outside as they would face the same
dangers an outdoor cat
would face. Doesn't your town have leash laws anyway?

Are you talking to me? Of course there's a leash law also there's a 3
dog limit to every house hold. If a tenant or home owner has more then 3
dogs then one of them is not licensed. May have a rabies tag but is not
license where I live. I didn't mean you let your dog just take off. I
assume you have a back yard & your dog goes in & out of it's own free
will. Unfortunately you have a cat that wants to do the same thing.
