Smart-alec that is. Scamp figured out her exit within a couple of days. Now when that exit isn’t available, she gives us the eyeball. One day she checked, but it wasn’t open. She went outside, sat on the back porch and stared inside at us as we walked by the door. She came in. She checked. Not open. Back to the back porch where she stared. And stared.

Not speaking cat language, but feeling those eyeballs…I opened the door. Pretty soon she came in. Checked and exited the escape hatch…I’m sure she was pleased to have successfully trained the humans.

This morning BMhusband got to play the game. She came in to eat breakfast and of course checked the escape route, but alas, it was not available. When she was eating her treat, BMhusband took the opportunity to open the door. She was very pleased! Used it immediately! And then came around the house, onto the back porch and inside to eat more food.
