  • Nesbit, I remember Rosie (Tricitybendix) putting butter on the cats paws or something? To help them find their way back home?

    I think the motivation behind this is to make sure that the buttered-cat stops frequently (to lick it's paws) whilst going out into the new space in which it finds itself, the pause giving the cat time to remember where is has come from.

    The underlying assumption being that the cat, outside in a strange place for the first time, will try to find its way back to its old, familiar area.

    When we first let James out he buggered off for ages, but he did come back in the end.

    The two girls spent ages on the balcony before roaming a bit further, but now run around the grounds quite happily.
