Cat Flap!

The new cat flap came and Steve decided to fit it yesterday .. as you do! Still he was adamant that he wouldn't need to go out to do it and the other was hanging on by a thread. It was never the same after Mikey stuck his head through it and pulled it all off the door, frame and all to get back in. It's also survived a couple of brushes with Nico .. that is why we got the baby gate .. one of my better ideas.
The cats immediately realised something was different and I watched them investigate their new access to the big wide world. A good sniff all around before pushing it open a few times with their paws .. then head through, in again, through and gone. Luther had been interfering and pushing in and out whilst Steve was putting it in the door frame so he had no issues with it and was straight out, but now we have an issue with Luther. There are 2 buttons on this cat flap, one red, one green, tiny sliding buttons, but with a purpose. I bet you can see what's coming can't you. Well with these sliding buttons you can lock the cats from coming in or from going out - or you can lock it completely so the cats are shut in or out. I can't imagine I will ever need to lock them out but the option to lock them in is useful ... and the problem is? Of course Luther is playing with the buttons! Hopefully he won't master the art of sliding them across or we could have some very pissed of pussy cats!
The photo is of Luther and Perry waiting for Junior to leave them a crumb the other morning. Meals has to be supervised, Junior is a slow eater and these two shovel it down and then steal!
