I opened the front door and coaxed Gus out late this evening. He scuttled along the pavement and across the dead quiet road. Well, nothing for it but to wait. I watched from an upstairs window and saw him run in the drive as traffic went by behind him. Hope he learned from the experience. He then went off in safe direction across the garden.
I was still unsure as to whether I had in fact successfully programmed his microchip into new cat flap. I decided to set it to record for when Gus came through and to prop it open with the hall light left on to make it as easy for him as possible, and in case pushing the flap itself might be an issue.
Bingo! Gus came through okay, the indicator light switched off so the flap should recognise him next time. As long as he pushes the flap to get back in. So, when I have witnessed him coming in from outside pushing the flap I can be sure that all is working as it should and that Gus has mastered the technique.
He came in from outside and dived into his cave under the bed. Five minutes later and he is on open windowsill avidly watching I know not what! Clearly the night is exciting.
He is sleeping all afternoon at the moment. Obviously got siesta genes...! Cuddly, affectionate and wary when up and about.
