Andy has figured out how to get outside from the cabin, and had two escapes this morning. The first one lasted a while - we didn't realize he was out until our friend saw him walking down the path through the woods to the cabin. He scooted from there to the bushes by the shore and we picked him up off a rock at water's edge. An hour and a half later he was out again, having grabbed the thinnest of opportunities to go and help Jim hang out the hand-washed laundry. In both cases he was walking along while keeping the bell on his collar quiet.
Happily he is willing to be caught, but it is a good thing that we are free of company for a while. We need to enforce tightly latched doors for a couple of days until he settles back inside again.
The good news is that of the two cats, Andy is the most unlikely to panic and bolt far, far away. The bad news is that he is much more comfortable going outside to start with. So one stop today may be a pet store, looking for a much bigger bell!
