Walter the nocturnal wanderer

Since getting our amazing OnlyCat flap, not only have we had the luxury of not being subjected to Walter bringing home his prey (he still tries, but usually only a couple of times a week now, I think he’s learning), but we also have the fun of knowing when he comes in and out as the app sends my phone a notification and a video each time. This one is particularly adorable as he gives the camera a quick sniff on his way past:

I knew he was mostly nocturnal (he spends most of the day asleep, either on our bed, the sofa, or the coffee table), but I had no idea he was so busy at night! For example, here is the traffic through the flap between noon yesterday and noon today:

3:32pm- out
3:37pm- in
6:49pm- out
7:04pm- in
7:14pm- out
7:17pm- in
7:36pm- out
7:39pm- in
7:45pm- out
8:16pm- in
8:26pm- out
8:40pm- in
8:50pm- out
9:43pm- in
9:51pm- out
10:07pm- in
10:21pm- out
10:33pm- in
11:08pm- out
1:11am- in
1:27am- out
2:10am- in
2:29am- out
3:45am-in (came and yelled and demanded to be petted and then slept on our bed for a bit)
5:01am- out
5:44am- in (back onto our bed until the alarm went off)
6:10am- out
6:15am- in
(then he went out the front door with the dogs when they went out to pee)
11:50am- in

And this was a night without a kill, no wonder he sleeps all day!
