About Me
- rockygrace
- I was born in 1962; you do the math. (See also: I'm too lazy to remember to update this thing regularly.) I bought my first house in the summer of 2009; I share it with four cats and with the memories of The Runt and Little Girl, who both passed away in 2011. Rocky, the cat for whom this blog was named, passed away in 2008; I miss them all. I wish I lived somewhere where the winters weren't eight months long; other than that, life is good.

Oy. Ever considered making her an indoor cat? :)
I'm considering it RIGHT NOW.
I know that cats have a brain the size of a LeSueur pea. But I had my last cat, Rocky, for fifteen years and he only got treed once. Little Girl got treed once. The Runt has now been treed three times in three weeks. Sheesh.
I don't want to tell you your business, but being an indoor kitty looks like the way to go for this one.
I know! The only problem would be how to let Little Girl out, while keeping The Runt inside. It seems unfair to punish Little Girl (keeping her inside as well) for The Runt's stupidity.
Cats are, as you note, dumb as a can of peas. They don't have sufficient brain cells to think "I am being punished, alas!" They have trouble remembering their way to the food bowl if there's something shiny in their path.
If you are concerned about what they are thinking, substitute "hooray! we aren't being chased and treed by dogs! That was a total pain in the ass! Now we won't be cold and hungry at night stuck up a tree!" for "Wah! I'm being punished!" and you'll feel a lot better. They probably are thinking "Nap." "Pounce." "Eat." "Groom." instead of any such complex thing.
I have two completely indoor cats. Believe me, they aren't suffering. Yours are young enough to make the transition to all indoors and not even remember (they're cans of peas, afterall)their outdoor mis/adventures.
Hmmm .. so the consensus is that I should keep my cans of peas indoors. Duly noted. :)
