I think I got the cat "go out" thing now

This may be obvious but I think that you can only take your cat for a walk if THEY come at you. Like, they're the ones who choose if they wanna go out or not yk? Such a cat thing to do. Also, if one of them is getting close to you while cooking, just try the "go out" option. It may help if you only have one cat, I guess... who knows.
