Sukie is fed in the kitchen and she usually eats a small amount and comes back later to finish her meal.
It is winter now in Australia so we keep the internal kitchen door shut and the heater on while we have lunch, we do not have an external kitchen door. Today Sukie came back to finish her meal but the internal kitchen door was shut, and she cannot meow loudly, in fact she can only produce a faint squeak and we could not hear this when the door was shut.
Our kitchen has a window looking on to the veranda so Sukie went through her cat door, on to the veranda and jumped on the windowsill from the veranda to inform us that she wanted to come in.
When we saw a large Blue X Alleycat standing sideways on the windowsill and making silent meows we realised what she wanted and opened the internal kitchen door. Sukie went straight to her cat door, through this to the house, through the now-open kitchen door to her food saucer and started to eat.
This strikes me as an unusual example of feline intelligence and worth reporting.
With kind regards,
Geoffrey
