Yes....now that Olivia and Noel know about outside, I'm always on the look out when I open the slider. Luckily, they all associate the front door with the vet, so they NEVER go out that one. ;)
Another thing the girls do is whine whenever I'm out there because they want to go out too.
For those that allow their cats outside like this...do they "talk" while they are out there? As soon as Olivia is out, she chatters and chatters. Its too cute! ;)
I must admit mine are VERY interested in the door, and half of them are 'darters', especially Allie. Once they know Spring has sprung, I can't even go into the back room without a chorus of cries that sound like this, "let us out now you bad kitty mommy or we will cry for hours". I have now been trained to open the front door and let them out on the tiny enclosure every am....half the time forgetting to close the door before work....:eek: :eek:
I must have the strangest cats. I have said this before, but, mine DO NOT go anywhere...they just hang out with me. When they start towards my neighbors porch (which is ten feet away...I live in the city limits in a very tightly compacted neighborhood :( ), I just call them, and back they come (course, I tell them, 'Dakky, do you want my hand on your bottom?' :D ).
My only problem with the outdoors, is the two kids, Allie and Dakky are little python hunters, and it makes me sick to my tum-tum to see a mighty python in their mouths, or under their feet. I am forced to swallow my fear/bile, and get the snake out of thier control.....my other kitties only hunt canned food...:D :D
Juke joint joseph is a darter and at 16 pounds he can jump and open the door himself as the latch doesnt hold too weell. But he is timid and when approached , will race back into his sanctuary , like a bolt of lightning , gray and white , that is!
