When he wants to come in, he goes to my bedroom window and scratches and let's out a little mew.
I have foxes who, along with the raccoons, come up and eat what's left over of the outside cat food.
I guess one of the foxes noticed my cat's window scratching routine, because a couple of weeks ago, I was sound asleep and in the wee hours, I heard scratching at the window. I got up to let my indoor cat in but noticed he was asleep on the foot of my bed.
I went to the door and turned on the light as I always do for my cat and there was the fox sitting in the yard staring at me.
I put some food out there and in a few minutes, he was chowing down.
Amazing that he added two and two and, though he didn't want to come in the house, he figured out that scratching at my window would get action out of me.
He was right.
Great story! Thanks! :)
