Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this problem with my cat?
One of my cats figured out how to open the screen door to my backyard and runs out as soon as she opens it. It's been going on as long as I can remember but now it's getting to be a real pain in the butt. To make matters worse, my other two cats follow her outside and I'm tired of dealing with the ditching sisters.
There's a lock on the door but if it's up just enough, she can open it. Plus, the lock makes it hard for me to open the door from outside.

Lock it and put citrus extract around the the door jamb. Cats don't like citrus it should discourage them from hovering around the door.

take a piece of pvc pipe or a broom handle, cut to the width of the other half of the sliding door, and leave it in the groove so the door cannot slide open. If you just have a regular door to deal with, get a child safety lock, attach it to the door frame, and keep the door locked. If a child can't figure it out, your cat won't either.

put additional locks on the door
even something as simple as a hook and eye will work if it's up high enough were the cat can't reach it.
