“You thought the screen door would stop me?”

Until a few years ago my cat used to make a mad dash for the outside any time i had the door open. There were a few times where she’d ninja her way out while I’d bring in groceries or something, and she’d be gone for days.

Now I could leave the door wide open for any given time and she’ll just sit there staring at it from her spot on our couch. She’s getting pretty old though (about 13 years) so I’m wondering if she’s become aware of her own vulnerability. She’s still spry regardless but she couldn’t care less anymore about escaping.

If you don’t like cats, I will respectfully disagree but come on, where’s your sense of humor?

Having cats has made me extremely aware of every open door and window in my house at any given time.

It’s like a boomer dad knowing when the kids touch the thermostat without seeing them do it.
