Hi!
I'm moving to a flat next week, my cat always goes outside when she needs
the loo, but in my new flat there isn't a garden or any way for her to
easily access outside without me carrying her down. I want to get a litter
tray for her and was wondering how hard it would be for her to use it? Will
she instantly know what to do with it? She had one when she was a kitten,
but that was over 3 years ago, so she's probably forgotten about it.

Also, how long do I need to keep her in the new house before I can safely
start taking her outside, I don't want her to run away!

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I doubt if she has forgotten Suzy.I'll bet you won't have any problem--just
set one up and relax.DEW

I forgot you asked about taking her ouside.Be careful that she doesn't try
to return to your old place--no matter how far away.Might want to give a
harness & leash a try.

Hi Suzy and Knucklehead,

Good luck with the move, Suzy.  Knucklehead has just about covered it, but
you also asked how long before you could risk taking your puss outside.  She
is really going to miss the big outdoors and will probably fret to go out.
She may even try to escape, so you'll have to be careful with doors and
windows.

In the UK, vets and cat rescue both advise keeping a cat in for 5-6 months.
That's a long time, I know, but you should consider it.  As Knucklehead
says, a harness and lead is a good idea, especially until you see how she
reacts.
