Re: Catflaps.


Mags!

I'm not so worried about other cats coming in - there's no cat flap between the conservatory and the outside, but we've not had other cats coming in at all. On one occasion I remember one trying and Ninja giving it a good old dose of what-for - the only other time I can think of was the other day when a big gorgeous red tom tried to get in and my friend scared it off.

What a brilliant idea! I think I may do a combination - leave the hole with no flap for a week, then put the flap in and put the clothespegs on for another week... Then taking off the pegs and seeing if he can figure it out.

I tried that too!!! But Misty still cant work out how to use a flap

I am really gonna try an intensive training course in the summer - she even sits and watches Chloe go in and out and still cant do it

Will be hard - if she cant work it out then she doesnt go out to play!!!

I am fed up constantly sitting by the cat flap Mags!!! She stands right at the flap and just waits for me to lift it. I have started to push her so her nose touches the flap and it opens so she might realise how to open it herself, but that is just asking too much. If I push her nose and it opens she goes out, but she hasnt realised what has happened.

Poor thing!
Sounds like she was 'behind the catflap' when they were handing out the brains!

Re: Catflaps.


What do you do when she wants to come back in Donna?
If you leave it long enough (like 2 days no, I'm joking!! ) she will start to nudge the flap herself, especially if it is near her food time...
