The kids have two cats, Asha and Abby, and they are always on the wrong side of the door. Meow, let me in, Meow let me out, Meow, I want back in again. I couldn't keep track of the furry beasties, and when we went out, I wanted to be sure both cats were safely inside the house. So, I devised this system with the two tin cans. One is labelled Asha, and the other Abby, and each end has a label IN and OUT. The computer desk is right beside the patio door, so whoever lets a cat in or out has to turn the appropriate tin can over so we know who is in and who is out. When it is time to go for a swimming lesson or a picnic we know right away if we have to go searching for a furry critter hiding in the back yard, or if both cats are safely inside. This system has saved me many a grey hair during out babysitting gigs this past summer.
So, that's what two tins are doing sitting beside the computer in the living room. I do have method in my madness.

Clever system! I would think two kids and two cats certainly require some way to keep track of everyone.
Regenia - You got that right! The side door was always opening and closing with cats and kids coming and going. Kids were much easier to find than cats, so I had to have a system. I think my daughter thought I has lost it completely, but the system worked for me.
