Yes he does have free range of the house. The entire house actually. Before i use to put a gate up so he couldn't go down the stairs to my brother's room which is quite messy and has tons of stuff on the floor he can get into. Eventually he learned how to open the gate up enough for him to get by so now I just let him go wherever he wants. When I come home he usually greets me with a big stretch from sleeping and I find everything in its place so I trust him =] |
