I wrote this post three years ago but it still applies today, only now we have two cats who desperately try to get out every time someone opens a door.
Chris enjoyed a year of patio privileges while we were in Myrtle Beach but after moving back to Dunedin, that was no longer an option. Our condo did not have an enclosed patio so he was stuck inside.

It is too late for a lot of things with Chris. 🙂
