The Kitty Door

Ok, so you've heard of a doggie door, right? Well we have a kitty door. No... it's NOT the same thing. A doggie door is easy to use. A kitty door takes talent! Not brains, maybe, but talent, balance, and bravery!

One day our not-so-bright cat, Jazzy got caught out in the rain in our backyard. Now, we don't have any steps up to our back door yet; so while she was out there mewing with all her might to be let in, there wasn't much I could do to help her. It was downpouring. I certainly wasn't going out in a downpour to get a cat. I opened up the door and told her to go around to the front. She looked at me like I was too stupid to understand a simple meow; and proceeded to try to scratch her way in through the basement window. I closed the door and went to the front door. I stood on the front porch in my slippers calling "heeeeere kitty kitty!" to no avail. I went back to the back door and tried to convince her again that she should come to the front - which, by the way, just happens to be the way she left the house that morning. Nope.

So, there I stand staring at her wondering how long it would take me to rig up a basket and pulley system; while she stares back at me wondering why I'm too dumb to manage to let her in. Just as I decide she's probably wouldn't be able to figure out what to do with the basket anyway, she came up with her own solution. It took her about 5 minutes to do this that very first day, but since then she's become an expert. My neighbors think it's completely hilarious and love to watch her do it.

Here's the video... enjoy:
