We've been trying to determine if Ophelia has object permanence by trying little experiments like hiding toys in boxes. I believe I have found the key.
Every morning she gets on the guest room desk and proceeds to meow at the window. Then she tries to move the blinds. She must have object permanence because she remembers a window being behind the blinds. As soon as the blinds are up, she is a happy kitty.
I'm starting to think there is something outside plaguing her. Lately we've been going through a fun exercise where she likes to sneak out the front door when I have a lot of stuff in my hands. She doesn't go far, but it is annoying to track her down in the bushes in work clothes. This activity is becoming an everyday occurence. If the spray bottle at the door doesn't work, we're going to have to get her microchipped.
