One of my kittens, Ripley (4 months old), excaped outside the front door today. Luckly we were able to catch her before she got far.
She was supposed to be behind some barriers that we had to contain them in a certain area of the house. No one noticed she had excaped out of the area. When I was coming inside the house, she was excaping outside!!!
How do we set boundaries????? Eventually we will let them out (with supervision of course), but right now they are too young. How do we keep them from going out the doors and getting lost. I especially worry about Ripley because she is such a "darter". When we open a door she just bolts out. Now that she has actually excaped outside, I am worried that if (and when) she does it again, we wont be able to catch her next time.
I alos worry about the other kitten (Cali) too. Although she doesnt excape (yet) I am worried that she will eventually do the same.
We have tried putting up barriers and using "boundary spray" but they dont work too well.
Any advice will help.
