Gunfire in the fields: I locked the cats in. Gunfire stopped when the rain started; Noodles howled to go out (he doesn't like using the litter box because Doing the Necessary in the House is Dirty). I opened the catflap. Rain stopped. 10 minutes later the hunters were at it again, and Noodles is still out.

I hope Noodles is back safely.

I've been trying to keep mine in at night for months but Benji hates it. He actually got up and sprayed my face when I wouldn't let him out, twice.
I'd bought a cat tunnel (couldn't afford to get a full catio fixed to the wall) but never got the ground cleared in time for Bilbo. It should be going up this week.
I'll put a litter tray at the far end and see if he accepts it.

@tiggy He's back :)
I've given up locking them in at night since I realised the days here are often more dangerous.
