I guess I could try the plastic on the couch - but that would be uncomfortable to sit on. My kids would probably flip it up and sit on the couch, then forget to flip it back down again. You know kids.

Toby is an indoor-outdoor cat, and he does fine. He only goes outside - won't even use a litter box. But for the life of me I can't remember how he ended up going that! Maybe I should just start letting Katie out every time she wants out and see if that works. We live in kind of a busy area, but it's not a fast street. I've never seen a dead animal on the road because people drive slowly. Toby has never been injured.

Listen to me. It sounds like I'm giving her ANOTHER chance, doesn't it? I'll never learn.
