An Uninvited Guest

There has been a cat running around the place for the last several days.  Having learned our lesson from the ground hog incident, we've been keeping the dog door blocked to keep unwanted critters out (especially at night).  We still leave it open during the day but we put Buddy downstairs and close the door to the rest of the house so if, by chance, something else decides to come in it can only access the basement.  Well, yesterday I apparently didn't close the door to the basement very well because this is who greeted me when I got home:

She is very sweet but extremely needy.  For all the love and attention I gave her (plus a slice of deli ham) she pooped on my kitchen floor. I don't consider this an appropriate show of appreciation.

She is now living at one of our neighbors...I only hope she's really stupid and won't figure out how to get back to our place.  Needless to say, the dog door will remain shut for the time being until we figure out another system.  Like taking Buddy out at regular times like 90% of other dog owners.

You need an electronic dog door. The dog wears a collar that the dog door senses is near and unlocks. If the collar isn't there the door stays locked.
