Even yesterday, Lynx and Robin had discovered how easily they could open the fiberglass netting to come in.
Well, this morning, all hell broke loose!
Robin was the ring leader. He opened the fiberglass netting and slid in (since he IS the slimmest of all). This required him to push open the wooden door which he did without any trouble. Then Lynx followed and everyone else too (yes, including Minnie). Minnie decided to let go of her queenly ego and also come in for an adventure.
They went up and down the stairs, which was really good exercise for them.
They were everywhere! And I knew it would be futile to try to get them back to the catio, so I just let them have their adventure. Unfortunately, Tabs was waiting for her breakfast (she always eats first in the kitchen, followed by the seniors at Bunny’s Place and then only everyone at Ginger’s Catio – As for Ginger, it depends on whether he wants to eat with Tabs or the boys).
I couldn’t feed Tabs because the boys would have come to attack the food. So I fed the seniors first while Tabs waited patiently for her breakfast. The seniors actually take the longest to eat because each has their (gender-neutral pronoun here, not a grammatical error, phasing out “his/her”) own special diet.
Finally, the only way to get everyone out was to turn on the vacuum cleaner. They are all terrified of the sound of the vacuum cleaner (for now). So that’s how we got everyone out to the catio.
I bought this long piece of linen cloth yesterday, to use as a cover for the condo. They love it!
