The Cat Flap...
I had a cat flap installed in the kitchen dooor today. Now I'm up to 5
cats, and the spring and summer are coming, I figured it was only fair to the mogs for them to be able to go out during the day. You have NEVER seen such excitement! Robbie, Lily and Tiger all supervised Martin the guy who came to put the cat flap in. The minute he had finished, everyone had to try it out. In...out...in...out....in...out... All I can hear is flap...flap....flap.... It's going to drive me nuts! Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

All I can hear is flap...flap....flap....
It's going to drive me nuts! Helen M Just wait until a playful kitty runs through the flap at full speed. The noise it makes then is akin to an explosion. When Ranger and Harri take turns chasing each other through the flap I get treated to BAM-BAM.... BAM-BAM.... BAM-BAM.... |

Your crew is very smart! Over here it took a bit of coaching to get the cats to use the flap the first time. They've all used one before, with the exception of Lily. I took a cat flap to Belize so that they could go into their outside enclosure easily and safely. I showed it to my Belizean handyman who was a first baffled as to what it was, and then highly amused by the fact I would want a flap in my door for the cat. I think he showed that cat flap with a demo of how it worked to every guy in the village. If they didn't have it before, that catflap was proof that gringas from England were certifiably nuts. But then I could have told him that!;o) Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Your crew is very smart! Over here it took a bit of coaching to get the cats to use the flap the first time. Same here, though I think it was just an act to keep the hoomin to act as doorman. I have it in the screen door and it's only accessible when I'm out on the patio, since they only get to go out when I'm there to supervise. When I first put it in they would meow at the door, and if I ignored them they would eventually emerge. At first I thought they were having trouble learning to use it - then one day something startled them and both LB and Sammy darted through it to get inside. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Spot with loving memories of Rocky (RB) [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

I had one cat who would sit inside the flap and bat it shut every time one of the others tried to come inside! Reminds me of Stinky's and Dante's inside/outside the bathroom door games. Stinky likes to come into the bathroom with me, but apparently it is no good if Dante comes in, too. At the same time, the door may not be closed. So Stinky comes into the bathroom with me, I leave the door open a crack, and this is enough for Dante to stick his nose in, and for Stinky to vigorously biff said nose through said crack in door.

Nancy and I will be sitting in the living room reading and hear "whap... whap... whap...". I'll take a look and see Tabitha in the kitchen, sitting in front of the flap, hitting it whenever someone starts to push it open. |
