So we have a tall gate in our dining room to block her sometimes from the living room. Suddenly she was able to get through to the living room! Only 2 ways in, the gate, or the door, of which is always shut when she is blocked out.

We got nervous at first as if she was able to get over a 42in. gate, the 45in fence around our yard would be possible for her. While we are always out there with her - she is BEYOND a hunter of small animals and birds. She's gotten both unfortunately, and like 5 squirrels total over time. She wants them SO badly when they are in one of our neighbors yards. She has tried to figure out how to get over there many times, like daily! So this issue really got us nervous.

But I did think back to when she was a pup, just didn't see that possible either. When she was a little one still, she could get through the kitty door. But that was many moons ago and she is much larger now.

So we setup a camera and the wifey went to work going in and out getting her riled up and wanting to get to the front window, her favorite spot!

Took a few trips out and then we saw, she made it through the kitty door quicker now than she ever did! :laugh:

Have to bolt down the kitty portion unfortunately. Nero can still hop over it easily!
