Cinders visits the Outside
In the almost four years that I have had Cinders, she hasn't shown any
inclination to go outside, although she will peer out windows. However, this afternoon I opened the front door, preparing to leave on an errand, and found Cinders pacing outside the door. She promptly came in, and gave me a lengthy talk on how strange things were Outside. I had come home from the grocery store about an hour earlier, and she must have slipped out the door without my noticing. Hopefully she won't try that trick again anytime soon, as I live on a street with lots of traffic. -- John F.

She always puts him in the house when she goes out for any reason. (The porch is enclosed). She was gone about an hour and when she came back she got quite a talking to about how she abandonned him on the porch. He was not amused. |

I'm so glad to hear she came to no harm. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |

She never really showed much interest during the winter. I foresee a long summer training Miss Cleo that the Out is now off limits. |

Outside. I had come home from the grocery store about an hour earlier, and she must have slipped out the door without my noticing. Hopefully she won't try that trick again anytime soon, as I live on a street with lots of traffic. Glad that nothing happened to Cinders. But perhaps a little more care is in order when going in or out? I have never had either of my two cats get out when I was going in or out. I usually come in empty handed or with only a little stuff. Tuck the cats away into a bedroom and bring in the rest. After it is all inside I then let them out. rrb |

Rusty, who was sleeping, dashed out the door. I live in a highrise, so its not hard to catch him in the hallway. He just went and sniffed on another neighbour's doorway. Another time he sliipped out when I opened the door to pickup the newspaper. I didn't realized he was outside until I heard his meowing. Winnie |

That is worrying John, Three times I've locked Wilson out
because I've chased him in and never saw him go out again , not so bad for me as he only plays on the veranda, but I'm scared he might get desperate and jump over, after all that was Henri's{RB} main entrance and exit, and if Wilson did get out and someone tooka short cut past our units he would run a mile, and I'd never see him again.
