Me too!!! And she did it again this morning!!!!!!!!!!! I will put a new post about that.Originally Posted by LDG
That must have felt AMAZING!
But I'm just busting with smiles for you this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't make the noise on purpose - the noise happens as soon as I start unlatching. But let's say Patches wouldn't move when I open the door. She would get pushed by the door when I would open it - which would not be nice to her and probably scare her. I'm avoiding that - basically smushing her out of the way with the door. I think she just understands the routine - that when I am standing tall and that latch gets started moving, that it's her time to go in box and then I come in and do my thing. Batman understands the latch - he almost knows how to open doors. He's working on the rotation of the door knob - he is SO SMART.Originally Posted by tigerclaw
One comment in your routine. I don't get the latch noise to get Patches back to her box. Maybe she would like to stay at the door when you come in. I always believed in the voice recognition.
Thanks Pete - I really appreciate the suggestions!! I believe you suggested the L type box set-up a while ago, pointing out she has no escape. Hopefully our kitties will work out their hierarchy soon.Originally Posted by tigerclaw
As far as the fighting, I have the same thing. I'm like you in that I feel sorry for the cat that just wants to mind their own business and be felt alone. Good luck with your kittys and please take my comments as suggestions and do what you think is best in your mind.

Funny and true! That's how Batman was at first when he was still leery of us when he was a baby.Originally Posted by LoveWhiskers
It sounds to me like she wants your company but she does not want your company.
