I guess everyone did flee to Facebook?
I've had problems with my cable modem since late last week. Now that I
can read RPCA again it appears no one is talking about anything. sigh All I contribute is Buffy is happily playing with her toys and her golf balls and other toys. Aside from not letting me set out a silk flower arrangement without trying to eat it, things are fine here. Jill |

I smiled when I imagined the battle you had to make your flower arrangement. Sootie is now fully in winter mode and is happily sitting on the doorstep outside the patio not knowing she's to be anti-flead tomorrow. We had new interior doors three months ago but Sootie will not push them open as she did the others. The doors are no heavier and surely by now have begun so smell like home (I've even rubbed her blanket on the doors) but she will sit outside a door and howl for as long as it takes for us to open it for her. I'm going to try catnip rubbed on them tomorrow after that I'm out of ideas. Any one got another idea? Judith Cats are so odd! I have no ideas about how to get Sootie used to the new doors. Good luck. Jill |

I have to do that with the cat flap in our bedroom door. I would push the flap open with a cat standing in front of it to show it will move. Ann |

Jill I only went to Facebook when I couldn't get access to Usenet (thanks to my ISP) I didn't exactly flee there! Then I found it was better, you can post pics direct from a smartphone and most of our old friends are there. Buffy sounds like a real character, trying to stop you doing your flower arrangement. Nelli, red tabbypoint exotic shorthair, started playing with my shoelaces when I was trying to tie them and got one stuck on her claw. She pulled, I pulled, couldn't get her claw released. I was going out for the day so time was of the essence. I thought I might have to abandon the shoes and use another pair, leaving her attached to the lace all day, but fortunately she is very clever about untangling her claws and she managed it in time for me to be collected to go out to visit my niece who has started university 120 miles away. I have Nelli and her litter sister, Garfie who is a red tabby. They are 7 years old and ex show cats. After I lost Boyfie, I fostered an exotic, Wilbur. When he went home I decided I'd like an exotic myself, they are very loving. However, these girls had to go together, so I got them both. My first indoor only cats. |

I understand it. My ISP doesn't care whether I'm connecting to Usenet. Well, I don't have a smartphone. It's easy enough to use any of the free photo hosting sites. Facebook is notorious for security problems. Buffy sounds like a real character, trying to stop you doing your flower arrangement. She just wanted to eat it. LOL She reacts the same way with anything that looks like a plant.

Maybe giving Sootie a visual about pushing open the new doors would help. Cats seem to be a little resistant to changes. Jill I did that with the scratching post and she watched me on my knees scratching the post and when I sat back for her to have a go she scratched it like a professional and looked at me as if to say that's how to do it. I have wondered if she just likes to get us to open it for her but she does it when she's really desperate so who knows..... she's a cat. Judith I'd leave them just slightly ajar and after a while, more snugly into the jamb so more firm pushing is needed, try that. I have the opposite problem, the cats need to pull my door to go upstairs to one of their litterboxes, it's Garfie's favoured one. Nelli can get the door open easily, but she is bigger and heavier and doesn't mind using the downstairs box. Garfie is not strong enough. I'm thinking of having a cat door put in on the door to the stairs, as I have to keep it shut during the winter as only the downstairs is warm. Or just insist Garfie uses the downstairs box in the winter. If Sootie can open the doors when she's desperate, that means she "can" do it if she wants to, and I'd leave her to do it herself, tbh. She's pulling your wire ;-) |
