This evening, I attended a Quaker Pagan MFW that my friend S. was hosting in honor of the full moon. I cast a circle in her living room before we settled into silent worship. After about half an hour, she heard her cats scratching at a closed door. After asking permission to cut a doorway in the circle, she got up to let the cats out of the closed room. S. returned to the living room and closed the gate.
The black cat darted immediately into circle and laid down next to me for scritches. The grey cat sat down just outside the circle and looked blankly at us. She was completely unimpressed when S. said she could just walk through the circle. S. said, "What, do you want me to cut you a kitty gate?" No response from the cat, so she did, just reached over and cut a tiny little door in the circle. The grey kitty happily entered the room through the gate and then S. closed it again.
