Maybe she should explain this to Rags? ;)<br />CatCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085463730809297977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30891954.post-53495392449146399732022-01-25T13:21:26.903-08:002022-01-25T13:21:26.903-08:00I had to laugh at your post.

Probably 8 years ago, our cat Wally, like to sit in our TV stand - it is an oak wood piece of furniture with 2 large cabinet doors under the TV for storage. Except we didn’t store anything there because Wally liked to sit in there and we would leave one of the doors ajar so he could get out when he wanted. <br /><br />One time my son’s English Bull Dog, Rags, came to visit and he walked into the living room - Wally was under the TV hidden but apparently Rags got wind of Wally there and charged the cabinet doors - to play - but still - bull dog play is quite vigorous - cat play is not. Wally busted out the side cabinet door, jump in the air onto the couch - front and back feet leaping high in the air and charge right into the bedroom which is gated off for the cats. Serious, Wally was flying and his feet hit the floor - NEVER!<br /><br />Wally is gone now about 3 years. BUT every time Rags comes for a visit he charges the cabinet doors EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. We prepare for it now, by keep the doors open when Rags is expect! We still can’t store anything in there because Rags must do his check of that area before he can settle. Meanwhile we are all laughing because he apparently is a dog of little brain. He found something in the cabinet only ONCE - but he has checked probably 50 times. haha!Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30891954.post-30064781124976170372022-01-25T12:24:22.951-08:002022-01-25T12:24:22.951-08:00That's the screwball thing, we HAVE a cage ove...That's the screwball thing, we HAVE a cage over the top, and a cap, so they shouldn't be able to get in. But, they do. So we just try and get them back OUT, quickly as possible!<br />And yes, Ding was doing her best high intensity kitty impression. Not bad for a cat raised by a couple dogs...<br />CatCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085463730809297977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30891954.post-40784313491551945222022-01-24T19:01:50.311-08:002022-01-24T19:01:50.311-08:00Is there any kind of grating or screen you can put...Is there any kind of grating or screen you can put over the outside vent of the woodstove to keep the birds out and save them from themselves?<br /><br />Poor Ding, she does her best.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.com
