When our cats were kittens we cat proofed the garden gates to stop them jumping up on them and escaping over. The two gates are about seven feet high. However now that the cats are adults none of that matters and naturally they like to take the piss by climbing across and along the top of the gates and then jump down onto the other side. Clearly our resistance against cat instincts has proved to be futile.
We call this situation the "Zippy Paradox", it goes like this: If you do some work to prevent the cats from getting out a safe area but they eventually do get out of that area then you need to have a simple way to allow them back to safety. There is an answer of course. Life isn't just a meaningless set of puzzles, or is it?
