I think dad and mum finally got fed up with Betsy ripping up little bits of the carpet. (Oh all right, I suppose I joined in too, from time to time.)
Last night we came out to the living room to find that our corner space had been fenced-in. Then dad chased us around the house and picked us up and put us in there for the night – to “keep us out of trouble” he said.
He let us out again in the morning, but still… I haven’t been confined to a “cage” at night since I was very little. And Betsy, who lived much of her early life in an outdoor hutch/cage, really didn’t like it.
So Betsy and I talked a bit last night (not having much else to do)… and here’s what we’ll do. We’ll turn on the “cute” factor… we’ll turn it WAY up. I’m sure mom and dad will soon break down and let us roam free again. How could they possibly resist us?

let me know how that works, we get locked up at night also… *DKM note – locked up means hanging out in the kitchen & the office* BUT it’s a small kitchen!
my buns ripped up a corner of my carpet in my bedroom between the bed and my wall AND jazzy starting going to the bathroom there. so i fenced in my bed so they couldnt get back there for a about a week. that made them appreciate one of their favorite spaces to hang out so they stopped being naughty. plus i put some toys there to distract them. they dont really play with them but at least their not ripping up the carpet.
Yes, do report on how “The Cute Factor” works. We are going to need it here.
Maybe The Princess will try the “cute” business instead of the cold shoulder I have been getting …
Well, Mom has tried to pen me into my condo at night too, but guess what? I can jump the sides! You should try that!
I know *I* can jump the barrier, but Betsy can’t – she’s not as good at jumping as I am.
