Thanks to the (weekend) talents of our Brother-in-Law, Bill we now have a couple of Catflaps installed in the house to aid the nocturnal comings-and-goings of Miko and Cornflake.
I say nocturnal as that is mostly the time when their exercise and toilet needs most interfere with my and Michelle's sleep patterns. Sometimes on Saturday or Sunday afternoons also, but I'm not counting naptime for the purposes of this post. Anyway, it's getting a little too cold overnight to leave our bedroom sliding door open so we decided that we need to go the route that many cat owners before us have tried and tested.
Now, all we have to do is train them how to use it. And while the physical aspects of it shouldn't be a problem I suspect that we are more likely to have trouble convincing them that we are no longer in servitude to their indoor/outdoor whims and that we're not going to open the door for them - no matter how many times Cornflake might knock on the front door or Miko let out one of her little 'I'm not really sure how to miaow' miaows.
