Hot Tub Cat needs help!
Bonibelle:
Thanks for the push Bill, Miss Kitty came back this morning and after a wresting match that would rival some I have seen at the circus...I stuffed her into the carrier that I use for my parrot! She was not a happy camper, but behaved like a perfect lady at the vet...I think they thought I was lying about her being a wild cat until they saw my battle scars!
They gave her shots, but were not brave enough to draw blood! I get the feeling that cats don't forget like dogs do.. :-/
I will update with the cat door install ;)
Bonibelle:
The cat door went in without a hitch..sure helps to have a 16 year old with a natural apptitude for construction! He showed my husband how to cut the garage door and assure the kitty door was plumb. We put it near the center of the garage door because there is a support bar near there. The garage door is thick foam layered between steel (I guess I have a full foam garage door ;D). You just drill into the door and slip a jig saw blade in and follow a template. There is a plastic tunnel between the outside and inside to make a smooth transition.
I bought an inexpensive door that was suggested for install in an overhead garage door. (It has to be thin enough to clear when the door opens). We showed Miss Kitty how she could walk right in by calling her from inside with the door propped open. Soon she figured out how to get back out. So with about 3 easy lessons, Miss Kitty has full access to her garage and the outdoors. I am wondering if cats are really that smart or if she may have had a kitty door where ever she came from. She sure caught on quickly. Good thing because if she didn't use it my hubby threatened to stuff me through it!
The install for an interior door should be equally as simple. I wouldn't hesitate to do it.

Nice story Bonibelle. Thanks for sharing.....and thanks for taking care of the cat!
Bonibelle:
MLG, to be honest, she is taking care of me...she earns her keep in mouse kills. I can't even trap the mice :-/ I used to catch them in hav-a-heart traps and let them go..but Miss Kitty has effectively eliminated them
(I think she has a reputation in the neighborhood ;D ;D) so I don't have to worry about them at all.
I never thought I would have a cat..but we all have come to love her!

This sounds like the episodes of Pinky, which can be seen here:

The guy's scream (with about ten seconds left) gets me every time...
