one of my lovely boys who remained in custody with my parents when I moved out of home to live with my fella seems to have got the knack of it...

All being we never owned a cat flap, next door do, and he's seen regularly going in and out of their house... Although recently he's got a bit too portly and got his bottom stuck in the flap...to his indignation the neighbour squirted water up his bum and made him move sharpish...

I think if you leave them too it, they'll pick up the idea soon enough.

Or, like my cousins, who have a dog flap - their dog has taught my little 14 month old nephew how to use the flap... So it's a pick and mix who comes through the door first!
