The portable cat-flap swung it as well? She obviously saw you as an apprentice millionaire. I suspect she's still waiting.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

No, I installed the Portable Cat Flap about ten years ago.

Does she go through the cat flap or walk around it?

She moves it out of the way, obviously - that's why it's a portable cat flap! 
The only access to our back garden is via a window (double glazed with evacuated glass panel) or a sliding glass door (also double glazed). So, to let the cat out you have to leave a door or window wide open, letting the cat in, but also the cold air, rain and snow. Not my idea of fun. But, if you fit a cat flap to a window or the sliding door then you lose the insulation, or can't slide the door.
So, I got a plank, fitted a cat flap to it, attacked it with a router to make it fit in the open gap of the sliding door - then fitted it with handles and door furniture so it could be locked in place. The cat can go in and out, as can we, but the weather can't. A couple of coats of Danish Oil and voila! The Portable Cat Flap is born.
There are a couple of others in the area now, to solve exactly the same problem.

After all this time I thought the portable cat flap was just a silliness on your part, but you actually made some? (slap my thights in astonishment)
What I thought you had "invented" was to take a cat flap out of the box and walk around with it. When you went outside with the cat you'd put the flap on the ground and the cat would obediently go "in" and "out" through it. At nighttime, to keep kitty "in", you'd lock it and kitty would sit outside looking through it wondering why it couldn't get "out".
That's one very spoilt kitty you have. That you have now described it and made some is worthy of a five.

It has some potential for amusement as well.
Once the cast is used to the flap working so it can get in and out, the fun comes when the flap is not in the door, but up against a wall. The look on a cats face when it goes through the flap and finds itself still indoors is priceless!

So did you get rewarded in the appropriate way? Was your BR extra warm for a bit? Inquiring minds want to know...

No, that doesn't count as Heroism, so the "usual reward" has not been provided.
Don't know what I'd do with half a kingdom anyway, and it would seem rude to turn round and conquer the other half immediately...

Oh, I dunno - ask any married man and he'll tell you they are worth a fortune, even if they have no economic value at all!

Being married, I know how much they're worth, but only if you can cash them in, IYKWIM.

There is an "informal exchange rate" in the household, but I've never pushed it so far as to present her with an actual cash-in request. I suspect that I stand a better chance of getting what I want if I don't...especially after the year I started charging her daily interest on "the cherry on top" she said I deserved one time, and I never received.

We have an 'informal agreement' vis-a-vis French Onion Soup. Mrs Wife does something for me and I make French Onion Soup.
I haven't had French Onion Soup for ages

Well I'm enjoying surfing the website mcp.microsoft.com and I even downloaded the logo and uploaded it as my CP profile picture

Apart from that, Isn't it funny that MS has not configured a custom error redirect?
