Reply #38: Mine has access to indoors or outdoors. [View All]

There is a doggie door built into the master bedroom (by the original owner) that goes out into a fenced back yard. It is a wooden privacy fence and my cat is too fat to attempt to climb anything. The back yard is very bird and butterfly friendly so my cat is endlessly fascinated. We just moved here a few months ago and she used to spend her time lying in the open bathroom window. She felt pretty unsafe outdoors with no fence and a lot of dogs in the neighborhood. She really loves the access to outdoors and I will hear the flap on the doggie door in the middle of the night when she gets frisky. It has also had the added benefit of her not waking us up. She used to romp on us in the morning but now she just goes out.
