The Door Is Closed

The back screen door I leave cracked for the cats to enter is now officially
closed for the duration of the summer. I got up this morning and found a huge
salamander in my shoe. Threw a towel over him and tossed it outside, shoe and
all. He'd apparently been traveling all over the house, becuase he had kitty
litter stuck to him.
They'll just have to learn to ring the doorbell.

How about hanging a bell from the door knob for them to whap at?

You know, cats are pretty smart. With the right training, I just bet a cat
could learn that.

Yes, but you can also be sure she'd take about a million whaps at it
just for fun.

That's if she doesn't completely mess with your brain, and just ignore
it.

Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal
claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.

I bet they could, but they'd need your help. I was thinking about the
potential for it to become a toy. I think for the first week or so, when
they ring it, they must be inside for 15 minutes minimum. That way they
understand what the bell is for, and that it's not just a cool toy.

TBird ----- that's the best thinking I could do with a headache and before
the salamader in the shoe image threw me into fits of giggles

You know, it's not that I mind them playing the door game. I don't work anymore
and don't have much else to do these days besides letting cats in & out :-)
But dang that Yoda. He's got that thing going where he seems to want his front
half out, and his back half in, while he sniffs forever and decides what he
wants to do while I stand there and hold the door!!
