The Evil Flap

Kitties!

*lickety lickety*
*gulp*

Salem the TUBseedo Svelte here!
We read on Tuesday that our wonderful pal CORY is in a real pickle of a situation.  Her Mom and Dad put an Evil Cat Flap in the (big Human) door leading to the Ladies Room...and closed the door!  What's worse, they put poor Cory in the loo, and made her figure out the Cat Flap instead of opening the door like nice peoples.  Even worser is they laughed at her puzzling and puzzling over the mechanics of the Cat Flap.

Cory, in the spirit of solidarity and to avoid any further indignity--here's how it works. 
1.  Headbutt a corner.  Either one is OK.

2.  Push the Evil Cat Flap open with your forehead.

3.  Jump through like your tail's on fire!

Here Sweet  Pea bravely demonstrates a Common Cat Flap Peril...

Trailing Tail Syndrome!
Which can be avoided by not lollygagging when you pass through the opening.  (Or having a short tail.) 

Cory, I hopes this helps you in your struggle to take a pee.

Now, Mommy wants to tell y'all a Funny Flap Story:

Hi Kitties!  Mommy Trish here...when we lived in our old house back in Illinois we adopted a stray all-white blue-eyed deaf guy named Chuckles.  Scott had built a big chest in the garage with a hinged top and a Cat Flap entrance from the foyer for the litter boxes.  It was a fancy affair; it had an exhaust fan, LED lighting, and it was a four-holer, to boot!  It was the only "facilities" in the house, so anybody new had to learn to master the Flap right away.  I gave Chuck Flap Training on his first day--picked him up, and pushed his head through the hole, so he could see the toilets.  Naturally he struggled a little bit and I had to regrip to complete the pass through.  As Chuck SHOT through the Flap I felt something tug on my thumb.  Like an idiot, I sniffed my thumb and all of a sudden I realized what I thought was a tug was actually a sphincter squeeze!  Poor Chuck, here he is, the new guy in a new environment and some crazy lady violates his anus with her opposable thumb.
He never required a second lesson.


Happy Thursday!

  3. I am sure Cory is glad for your help! I hope she gets her cat flap figured out - I would hate to have her suffer Chuckles' fate.

  4. In the beginning, all our cats and dogs push the flap with their paws, and of course "receive" it back on their head... which makes them afraid of the catflap. But they all learned it, and I must say cats are "smarter" than dogs!

  6. Oh dear. I don't think the Human is going to be much good to me any more, collapsed as she is on the floor, crying from laughing herself sick over the Chuck story. I don't know what to do. Will she recover enough to feed me in the morning?

    If not, can one of you come over here and help me?

    P.S. Salem: Excellent displaying of your JLLs tonight.

  8. We have made Äiti sign a document that Mom Trish will NEVER be invited to Finland for a holiday. we think continuing this relationship at a distance is fine, provided that is more than a thumb's distance.
    And Salem, we love the display of your cat flap skills- and we notice that little sag bag under your tuxie tummy manages to squeeze through okay!

  9. OMC OMC OMC. Mommy has fallen off her chair and rolling around on the floor, laughing her head off over Chuck's flap lesson.

  11. Love the flap demo pictures. Curious, however, as to why a closed door and flap are needed. Now the Chuck story - has Mom gagging a little bit.

    ReplyDelete
  12. lol Did Chuck ever manage to look you in the eye again?

    ReplyDelete
  13. That's quit a story about Chuck!

    Over at this end, Tama-Chan has totally refused to learn how to use the flap to the cat run. The end result is that it has to be propped open during the day with tape, letting in howling winds and icy temperatures.

  21. We thought Mum was having a strange turn but she was just helpless with laughter and was struggling to breathe!! Did Chuckles always look behind him when he entered the litter box chest after his "strange experience"?

  41. Its that tail-grabbin part that worries us the most! ASSUMING the butt jab was really an accident...

    ReplyDelete
  42. OMC!!!! Mom prevented me from reading this...I think she didn't want me to know about the um sphincter episode! So guess what...since I had such trouble mom and dad backed off of their plan and the cat flap doors are once again propped open for business!!!! Yay!!

    I think that means:

    Cory 1
    Mom 0

    ok it wasn't just me...the rest of my cat family hated it too. Maybe someday mom will try again.

  43. Wow a catflap! I have staff that open and shut the door for me....
