Thread: Electronic collars and Maine Coons

when she was little, Neevie would try to run out as soon as we'd open the door - we started using the back door to go in and out of the house because it leads to a little corridor - so we're making it work like a submarine hatch system: we go out in the corridor, we close the door behind us, and only when she's safely locked in we open the outside door....
now, she doesn't really run to the door when we open it - she doesn't try to come out, and if by chance she somehow manages or we let her she doesn't like it very much - we try to do that when it rains, so she sees it's not very pleasant outside, when go run out the door you get wet....
we have however allowed her out this summer, thinking she would not want to go far - the first time she didn't like it, the second time she explored a bit farther, the time after she made a straight beeline to the road, we had a hard time catching her - and then for a few weeks after she tried to squeeze out the door every time we opened it. So she's not allowed out any more unless it's raining.
