Thanks all for the great suggestions. And Argie's Wife, I love that dog/cat diary.

Chip - let her out. Yes, eventually you MIGHT break her of wanting to go out but it'll be tough till then. I have a cat (My sons?????) in the same situation. Ours has also left for days at a time then came strolling into the yard like it's nobodys business! If you talk with other people I believe you'll find that cats will do this. Mine was going to the door whining and also began pulling up carpet from around the walls (VERY annoying.) It's tough once they've got a taste of the outdoors. The way I look at it why keep them indoors miserable if they don't want to be. Far as predators that's always a possibility but cats are sharper than we give them credit.
