I have no idea how Madoc escaped the den, this morning. He made no noise, nothing was disturbed

But yet he appeared, running through the kitchen. Now I'm wondering if he's a teleporting alien kitten.

So they are both up in the playroom while I run my errands, this morning.

Time to do one more check of what needs to be moved, packed up or super secured because unless I install a door, he's going to find a way out. And who knows - maybe he'll figure out door knobs, too. He's a smart little fuzzball.

He used his kitty super powers, of course. SheltieLover Oct 2021 #1

You are, in all likelihood, correct. Kittehs can teleport, both themselves and objects. niyad Oct 2021 #5

The barrier seems to have become obsolete. Might as well let them roam, Sophie seems to be getting used to them so maybe she won't mind.

He must have squeezed through, somewhere. I should buy an indoor Blink camera.

Sophie has gotten SO much better with them so that worry is over. I just want make sure the barware glasses are safe. I might just put a cardboard box on the bar cart and keep them secure, that way.

And yes, doorknobs are no obstacle. I watched one of my kits years ago as he figured out how to do it. I promptly went out and bought the child-proof covers. Thank goodness I did not have latches.

So many marvelous adventures ahead for all of you. And we get to share! Hugs to all.

Impossible to keep track of, and she did this trick her whole life.

Good luck.

They do things that aren't possible but they do them anyway.
