Ron became interested in going outside when we got our puppy. (He'd see us let him out throughout the day.) I finally gave up and left him out one day after he'd dashed. Now he's addicted. No matter what you do, don't let the kitty out! Once she gets a taste of the outdoors, she'll stay out. I adopted Raven declawed and she's never been interested in going out. Now, all of a sudden, she's trying to dash. It's freaking me out since she can't defend herself, so I'm interested in hearing everyone's suggestions too!
