@Taylor now do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around

@Taylor the cat is not interested in being in or out. The cat is interested in making you perform for her amusement.

@Taylor Next time the cat goes to sit by the door right after you've let them out, follow the cat to where they want to go, and then sit down and hang out in parallel existence with them.

How often does your cat hang out with you where you want to be, and how often do you hang out with your cat where they want to be? They just wanna spend time with you outside.
