Since I have been back from Kazakhstan my two cats, Mungbean and Sweep have been so affectionate. I half expected either one or both of them to have the sulks with me for abandoning them for a whole fortnight, however it has been the complete opposite. They have been very cute and clingy. The best thing was when I woke up the first morning after being home and opened my eyes to find Mungbean curled up on the pillow next to me only a couple of inches from my face with one paw on my head and Sweep curled up on my other side under my arm. My little babies – I don’t know what I would do without them.
You are probably wondering where the training comes in… Well, at the moment I am renting a room at my aunty and uncle’s house and since I moved in I have been very paranoid about them going missing. They have a cat flap downstairs and I recently got one fitted in my bedroom door as well so I can keep it shut but they can still get out. The problem is I have been feeding them in my bedroom for the last six months and because of this they see no reason to venture downstairs for anything, least of all get to know my aunty and uncle.
Until now this hasn’t really been a problem as to go outside they have been using the window in my ensuite bathroom which I have been leaving open for them. This opens out onto a little roof which slopes conveniently down to a fence which they have no problem negotiating when they so require. However, as my aunty pointed out when I got back from holiday, when the winter arrives I am not going to relish the thought of the window being permanently open. Good point I thought, so what to do about it? (more…)
