Teaching Old Cats New Tricks

Part of Operation Get Ready for Baby is moving the cat boxes. You see, the nursery is currently the Cat Box Room. Not gonna work when LB (little boy) arrives.

About a week ago the modifications to our enclosed back stairwell were finished so we can start moving the boxes into our new laundry room. BUT to do this, the girls have to start using our newly installed Hefty Kat cat door. Heft Kat because one of our kitties is truly hefty. She's a big, very timid girl.

So far we've taped the cat door open with duct tape and at this point everyone has used it. Tonight was our first experiment with having them go through the CLOSED cat door. It's really funny because we actually have Family Time with the cats. M. and I sit on the floor and we get out the cat toys and it doesn't take long before all four are gathered 'round us.

The picture is from our adventures tonight. Want to see more of the girls? Here's their Flickr set.

Our youngest, Zoe (seen in the foreground) took to it like a fish in water. Jump in, jump out, jump in.... Our oldest, Tamu (background) is just not so sure about the whole thing. She's smart enough to know that if she whines, the door knob will be used and she won't have to deal with all this newfangled modern stuff.

So we're officially moving the first of the boxes out there tonight and keeping the door taped open. I'm crossing my fingers we don't end up with major behavioral issues.
