She goes in by herself. If she hears the slider open she comes running. I'm not sure what my beardie's thinking, but it's so funny when the cat plays with the beardie on the floor, and she is very gentle, never extending her claws and just rolls around on her back to cuddle. I got a little of it on video one day but have been waiting for the right moment to get the great video. If I can find the video, I'll post it. Here she is doing her bat routine http://s943.photobucket.com/albums/ad275/hammerhead_bucket_photos/?action=view¤t=batcat.flv
She also plays fetch, and gives the paw. Smart cat
