Habitat Injustice!

Gracey's Blog

Habitat Injustice Revisited!

Who remembers when my dad decided that the sun room had an  8 pm curfew?  Well he got a little lenient in the rule of late but now tonight for no particular reason, I heard the dreaded “clatch” sound when the lock is turned on my sun room door.  AND it was only 7:30 pm.  grrrrrr.

Gracey hiding from her dad

So now I am hiding from him on this chair under the table.  He is calling my name and looking all over the house for me, but I am not wiggling one whisker until I hear the “clatch” sound again.

In case you didn’t know about this Habitat Injustice, here is what happened last August.  Even though you all voted in my favor, the sun room remains locked and off limits to me  tonight.

Meow for Now!

Friends, my dad just told me that the house has a new rule. No Tiniest Tiger in the sun room after 8:00 pm. I stomped my paw but he is still sticking to his rule. And you know what is even crazier than my dad’s 8:00 pm sun room curfew? My mom is listening to my dad and not unlocking the door for me.  I need your help. Please express your opinion about this habitat injustice by participating in my poll.  There is really only one right answer, but I don’t want to skew the results.

    Well Gracey, I think he is right – after all, there is no sun after 8 p.m. anyway. However, do not despair – Daylight Savings Time is coming and perhaps he’ll leave the door open until the sun sets (later and later in the evening). My little Mika LOVES our screened lanai, but I won’t let her out after dark either. She sits and stares out there in envy (what does she see in the dark?)

    I would ask daddy to explain why the rule is in place….maybe it is for a very good reason! I try to sympathize, but if it is to protect you, I have to agree with your dad’s ruling. Ask him straight out “Why?”.

    Oh Miss Gracey….possibly your Dad is wanting you to cuddle with him in the evenings! You won’t get sun in the sunroom after 8 at night so just savor it during the day and cuddle with your Mom and Dad in the evenings….you might get a taste of ice cream if you do!

    Gracey, i have to agree with the others. Your Dad is probably doing it to protect you in some way or you, silly girl have been getting into something out there. Anyway, no sun after 8pm. The Simon kitties dont understand when i close off a room either, but when it does open, they are so excited! Maybe give Daddy a big kiss, that may work!! Or just be very very vocal, they wont be able to stand it & open the door for you!!

    I have to wonder why they made that rule. Are you using the planters in there as a litter box or anything? Do you knock things over. Gracey, I know it’s hard to understand, but pets are like children and must be protected. Sometimes that means making rules they don’t understand. If they have that rule, there must be a reason and I’m sure it’s a good one. Sorry, sweetheart, but I can’t vote until I have more data. I just think there must be a reason. I know my cats have places they can’t access for their own protection!

    I am sure your mom and dad have a very good reason why they will not allow you out into your sun room after 8 p.m. Have they explained to you why they made up this new rule? I will be curious to find out what is going on!

    It’s definitely not fair, but if your dad is trying to keep you safe, you should try to understand.

    I think you can compromise and just leave the door open a crack big enough for Gracey to go in and out. I am sure like my babies around here she will be very grateful and give lots of kisses for letting her go in her sun room in the evening and who knows she might even share it with dad.

    Best of luck,
    Lisa and her lucky 17

    Well…it’s not fair, but if this poll doesn’t help you, try to think of it this way: there’s no sunny spots to lay in after 8pm, and winter might get a little chilly out there.

    GOOD LUCK!!!
