Catflaps Marty manages the inside catflap no bother. I haven't unlocked the outside one yet. I cleaned and polished the window so carefully Removing Ludovic's spit. I lifted Marty up leaning his paws against the glass To teach him how pressure opened it. But he wasn't interested. Now, a week later, he has mastered the art And goes to and fro like it's nobody's business. This Sunday when I came back from the pub I introduced him to the great outdoors By leaving the outside porch door open. For two and a half hours I watched him But he did no more than stare at outside. He wasn't interested in exploring. Then this Tuesday afternoon back from the pubs I did the same. And this time he ventured out. But not very far And keeping an eye over his shoulder For my moral support. In a month he will be an outdoor cat. Then he will have to be doctored. Kittens are marvellous. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
