 :rofl:   The photo of Blip - it looks like she's using it as her 'own personal little window' to spy from !   Love it! ;D   Doesn't seem to have taken her long to realise it's benefits all round eh !

:Luv2: I'm glad she has gained her independence  :)

Not as glad as we are: she's stopped waking us up during the night to be let out  ;D

Sounds like she's got the hang of it now -  I've never used one, come to think of it, neither have my cats over the years,  :rofl: they are so so cute esp when you see them popping in and out!

What a very perfectly apt choice of wording, "heart soared like a hawk"

I cannot take credit for it: I must attribute it to the scriptwriter(s) of Little Big Man who put it in the mouth of the native American chief.  I have always admired it  ;).

More good news: Blip took herself out through her ramp for her morning constitutional earlier  :wow:

I came in from work this evening and was not, as is usual, greeted by Blip at the front door.  BECAUSE SHE WAS OUTSIDE IN THE BACK GARDEN!  Which means that Blip went out through her cat flap all by herself for the first time this evening!   :dance: :dance: :dance:

My heart soared like a hawk!

Your friend has done a fab job on the ramp - if that's the fine job he makes on small items, I bet he's a great craftmsan.

He is indeed.

Can I just point out that we don’t have moss growing all over our patio: it’s pouring with rain here today and the wetness has come out an eerie colour in the security light.

Great ramp, though, isn't it?

I (ashamedly)  will point out that I  DO have moss growing all over my patio  (well not moss  but am getting that  rather 'fetching green look' to the slabs). :innocent: :-[   A Job for the weekend I think .

Wheres Blips red carpet?

Look again - carefully - at the pictures, Teresa.  You will see, admittedly not a red carpet but two beautiful yellow velvet cushions on the inside of one patio door.  I bought these from John Lewis especially for Blip to place her regal paws on as she comes through the flap  ;) :Luv: :rofl:

Blip has just used her ramp and cat flap for the first time  :dance: :dance: :dance:

She was asking for a treat so I took her outside, came back in myself, shut the door and lay down on the floor next to the cat flap, holding it open, with a dollop of tuna in a bowl in my other hand.  I passed the bowl through the cat flap a few times and Blip drew closer and closer to investigate.  After a great deal of hesitation, Blip finally launched herself through the flap :wow:

So, her microchip has been learnt and the flap will now open inwards for her and no other cat.  The next stage is to get her to use it regularly but as she's got the hang of it, after a fashion, within a few minutes, I am, provisionally and cautiously, optimistic. :crossed:

Great ramp  ;D

Your challenge now is to get a photo of Her Majesty using it.

This could indeed prove a challenge. ;)
