Any clever ideas you could share on how to deal with our feline escape artist ?
We have a young male cat, we think part Bengal (was a rescue). We keep him in at night as otherwise he does tend to wander - also after an episode last year where he went missing for a few days.
We have a lockable catflap set up for his own chip - typically he headbutts the cat flap and we were concerned he'd break it. So we put a couple of plastic boxes in front of it, which have some storage items in, hoping he'd give up at night when he couldn't actually see the cat flap. Sadly no, we came down this morning to find he'd managed to slide his paw behind the boxes and hook into the cat flap (therefore moving the boxes and toppling them). Now we're on another trial tonight of putting heavier things in the boxes, to make it harder for him....
So what other things can we try, to deter him from making a break for it overnight ? Or without making our back kitchen door like Fort Knox ?
