Denny,

I tried training Lady for eight years (and Charley thought I was ridiculous,
too!) but have given up and now she's an indoor cat unless we're in the yard
with her. We also let her outside well after dark in the summer to laze
around on the lawn furniture. BTW, we saw you on TV last night propping up
the roof of a house---good work!
