The chase ended when the mouse fell through the grill into a cellar window well. The cat stayed on sentry duty for over two hours, hoping that the mouse would be able to scale back up the wall (after he gave up, the neighbors caught and evicted the mouse from the window well). @ Craig (14) - Last summer I witnessed our next-door neighbor’s cat chasing a mouse in their backyard.

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 11:07:02 +0000 http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2009/12/29/cat-door/#comment-30293 My dad and I installed a kitty door in the basement when I was a kid. It had large windows that came almost to the ground, so we took out one pane of glass and replaced it with the kitty door, and we assembled little ramps up to it. To teach the cat how it worked, we grabbed him, and I started stuffing him through the hole so he'd pop out in the back yard. I was having the hardest time, and I thought he was fighting me somehow -- and then we realized that we'd forgotten to raise the storm window, and I'd been shoving the presumably baffled cat's face right into it.

So much snow one night the dog could not get out. Let him out front door but, being a basset hound, with head held high, only most of his head was out of the snow and could not lift his leg. Shoveled a path for him while unblocking the door. He whizzed for so long he actually switched feet mid-whiz. Had to be at least a minute. I fell into the snow laughing. Built a dog door once.

This was to prevent the cat from bringing home any unwanted visitors. One of my cats would bring in mice to play with. well at least one escaped unharmed enough to take up residency in the house and subsequently ate/ruined a lot of stuff in the kitchen (including a bag of pancake mix) as well as chewing through the water line to the refrigerator. I'm guessing it wanted some flapjacks for breakfast one morning. How it was going to cook them i don't know.

They could go out into the fenced yard any time they wanted. It was a very big door. I knew someone who had a dog door for her two Newfoundlands.
