- Our solution to this is a very easy one. When my fiance and I leave for work
- we would like to close the bedroom door to confine Zeb to fewer rooms for
- her own safety and the safety of various breakable objects in the house :-)
- Getting her out from under the bed and into the living room use to be a
- problem. We now just toss Zeb's favorite ball (a neon orange golf practice
- ball) into the livingroom and she runs out from under the bed to retreive it
- and we close the door! It works every time...so if your cat has a favorite toy
- to catch then this might work for you too. ;-)
