I have 2 mixed breed Siamese cats...from a Calico grand mother. They are "Bert & Ernie". They are 7 years old. For as long as we have had them they have been indoor anf outdoor kitties.... spending almost all day lounging up stairs on our bed, and sneaking out into thier world at night and returning before dawn..... They go out our bedroom window on the second floor. We have a ladder there for them. We have also had 3 dogs and recently had to put 2 of them to sleep within the last 2 years.. we still have one left Sadie, a mixed breed Cocker... she is 13 and deaf....
Here is the mystery..... About 2 months ago Bert & Ernie stopped coming in the house!!!!! At first we thought it was because it was hot & humid and they were seeking relief under leafy foliage... but on some days we noticed them actually sleeping in the driveway dirt... with their noses actually pressed to the ground???? What is that all about? We manage to coax them in once in awhile, but that lasts about 3 or 4 minutes...and they are crying to get out.... if we refuse to let them out, they go flying up the stairs and down the hall and out the window like a bat outta hell!!!! Good Grief! I don't know what is with them!.... Bert has actually taken to sleeping in the front yard in the grass... He will hardly come in at all... Ernie comes in to get his ears rubbed and then he is gone. We have shut the window, but they drive us crazy crying and constantly walking under our feet and running for the door every chance they get.
My husband and I are totally baffled by this behavior... nothing has changed in our house that we know of.... anybody have ANY ideas?
