I had a fence put in my yard so I can let the cats out. Once the fence
was complete (wood, 6' shadowbox) I had to line the top with chicken wire to keep the cats from just climibing out It isn't perfect - there is an Acadia Palm in near the fence and the cats could climb that and get over the fence, but only the feral, Baby, is likely to have the knowledge to do that. We'll see. I tried to block it by putting netting around the trunks but an escape artist could pull it off. So I got the video camera ready, opened the back door, and only Scooter came to look. He didn't want to go out. We'll try again tomorrow. |

Judith Nipsy and Scooter have gone out two days in a row. They are a bit puzzled but clearly enjoy it. I've been letting them out in the afternoon, but by that time Baby is under the bed and doesn't come out at all. I think on Thursday I'll stay home in the morning and try to coax her to come out. I just hope I can coax her back in. |

I just hope I can coax her back in. I'm glad Nipsy and Scooter are enjoying the outside. How is it going with Baby? Judith Baby hasn't made it outside yet. She generallly sleeps all day under the bed and the afternoon is the only time I'm home to let them out. I'm going to have to find a time when she's out from the bed and somehow pick her up and bring her to the outside door. That's a lot easier said than done. |
