We used the crate training idea for Neko when we first got him to be sure that he was actually potty-trained as they said he was when we adopted him. Now that he is actually use the the routine of "potty outside, by jumping on the door/ringing his little bell", he has the freedom to roam the house. Some rooms (like my son's crayon den) are blocked off with a baby gate. Neko sleeps in his dog bed in my room. Recently, I awoke in the night to find him roaming the house. He usually would stay in my room all night and sleep. So I may worry alittle until I'm sure not to awake to a mess of any sort. In the meantime, he is only crated when we are not home. This way, I'm certain he can't get into anything or potty inside if we are gone longer than exspected.
