Flip flap.

You mean that’s been there all this time?

I didn’t know there was any such thing as a self-respecting cat.

don’t let the flap hit you on the way in

Oh, the shame. :)

Does this flap make my butt look big? :)

In the house I grew up in, there were two doors in the kitchen about 6 feet apart; both led outside. One went directly to the patio and the other one went to the back hall which led to the patio. The one leading to the back hall had the pet door in it. My dad put it in for the dogs, but it was cat-friendly, too. Minou wasn’t pet-door-friendly. He could use it but he didn’t like it. So he would sit in front of the other door, 6’ (2m) away, and meow loudly to be let out. Whenever I saw him doing that, of course, I would pick him up and put him through the pet door. Pretty soon, he caught on. He’d be sitting there by the other door, hollering to be let out; if he saw that I was the human that was coming, he would quickly change his mind and take himself through the pet door. Smart kitty.
