I was bringing Sparky (dog) back inside yesterday, when THREE cats ran out while the backdoor was open...I didn't shut the door all the way.
We only have one cat that tries to get outside once in a while...and she wasn't one of the escapees.
I didn't know what to do...shut the door to keep the others inside (the rest of the felines were all at the door watching), grab the cats that were outside (didn't know if they would jump the fence, climb a tree, etc) or grab Sparky.
I decided to close the door first. With 3 cats running around the backyard, Sparky wasn't sure which one to chase. That gave me a litttttle time. I grabbed Leonard...put him back inside. Grabbed Arrows...put him back inside. Lucy Goose took off running full speed...THAT got Sparky's attention BIG TIME.
By now, my son is outside to help. Lucy ran back towards the door...it was closed. She kept jumping at the closed door. I had Sparky's attention. Son went to open door...Lucy bit him (what gratitude!) and then went inside. Thankfully, it was just a "warning" bite.
90 seconds of total terror...
