A little jingle-jingle and we know to go open the door. <br /><br />Carolyn, it took awhile for them to catch on and Riley was particularly stubborn about it. I suppose sitting out the on the porch staring at the door didn't work well enough for him not to try it. :)<br /><br />Evelyn, actually we had a cat a long time ago that figured out to do this all by himself. Except we had the bells on the outside as it was Christmas. He rang the bells anytime he wanted to come in!<br /><br />BM&T, no baby goats yet! <br /><br />The funny thing about Katy, is that she used to be really afraid to go outside much, hence the use of <a href="http://my5acredream.blogspot.com/2011/03/katys-high-hide.html" rel="nofollow">the high hide</a>. With that outside kitty door though, she hasn't used the high hide once, and loves to be out now. I reckon that knowing she can get inside anytime she wants is the best security of all.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-41574257937242987042011-04-07T06:30:06.521-04:002011-04-07T06:30:06.521-04:00Oh, that is cute.
