sasvermont; I believe that your furkids are Abyssinians. If this is so, then they, like my Jumper, are prone to get into things. Although there is really nothing in this place that allows him much trouble that he can get into, still, in the middle of the night he will start yowling, meaning that he wants outside. Last night was the worst of many times I've had with all my cats, about wanting to go outside. In fact, when I got up this morning, I opened their access window and nearly all of them went outside for the pre-dawn morning, which is unusual. Even a special feeding time did not bring all of them in about 2 hours later (5 AM)
