"I don't think anyone should write their autobiography until after they're dead.” Sam Goldwyn

months ago jim added a cat hole to our bedroom suite so abi could come and go and now she has gotten into some very very bad habits  ( like jumping on the kitchen island and budging expensive glassware over the edge  ans watching them fly into smithereenville)   and we've decided not to give her the run  of the house at night. So jim is designing and making a little door with a mini bolt so we can lock her in with us at night.

She is fascinated by the process. she knows this is some attempt to stymie her and maybe if she watches him  work she can figure out ways around it.


Meanwhile I have added aluminum foil to the island edges to prevent her from jumping up there. It really works but obviously it's not a perfect solution. In Montgomery I used a wall of aluminum foil to terach her to never enter the dining room so I am confident I can conquuer and redirect this new habit.
