Well, this morning the little mister discovered how a cat door works. :X I was in the kitchen attempting to make some hummous, and I kept hearing this scratchy noise behind me. So I turned around and saw Yofi, hard at work on the cat door flap. He knows that in order to go into the backyard, one has to exit via the back porch, and the little bugger managed to figure out that there was a portal - at his level - to get there. At first he was biting the frame of the cat door itself...then when that didn't work he began pushing on the flap with his head, getting mad at it because it would swing back down and hit him in the face. That led to furious clawing at the bottom of the door, then pushing the cat flap again, and then trying to grab it with his teeth so it wouldn't swing shut. I watched him for a few moments (and to think I pay for cable when I have this entertainment *live* 
), and he finally figured out that by pushing hard enough, his head would hold the flap open. It only took him a couple of more moments to then realize that his body could follow his head, and soon Yofi was scooting through the door and into the forbidden land of The Porch.
LOL...it was funny watching his antics, because once he realized that the door leading to the backyard was shut, he kept going back and forth, back and forth...through the cat flap and into the porch, then right back around into the kitchen again, then...furious digging to open the door with the cat flap...and right back through the cat flap yet again. I could see the frustration on his face because he couldn't figure out how to actually get the huge bunny portal (i.e., back door to the yard) open. But now that Yofi has conquered the cat flap, he's made a game of going to and from the kitchen to the porch...supposedly forbidden territory for dogs and bunnies. :foreheadsmack:
What does worry me though, is....if he was smart enough to figure out how to maneuver the cat door on his own, then what else is going on in that little lagomorphian brain of his?? (Envisioning Yofi plans to take over the house, then the yard, then...the Universe!!! muwahahahahaha...)
:shock:
