Cat Forum / General Topics / April 2006help, cat confused
I have a cat named kitty, and He is two years old. He was a wild outdoor cat when i found him as a kitten and I tamed him to where he could be around people and not be scared. He used the bathroom outside and often would come in and sleep and eat. He kept geting into fights so, I took him to a vet and got him his shots and got him fixed. I recently had to move and I decided to bring him with me because I got so attatched to him. I was afraid to let him outside in a strange area so, I have decided to keep him inside and train him on the litter box. That situation is ok but, he constantly wants to go outside. He jumps up at the windows at all hours of the night and he meows at the front door. But, he doesnt do it all of the time. I feel bad for keeping him inside but, I dont want him to get hurt. And if I was to leave him at my old place then he would starve because there is no one to feed him over there. I am so confused as to what to do. He really dont eat as much as he did and he has been living in the new house with me for about 4 weeks now. If there is anyone that can help me with this situation, please respond. Thanks. Would you be able to put him on a cat harness? Ornery likes to be outside, but, I dont let my cats run loose outdoors. I had bought a pet stroller last year, so I put him in there and secure it so he wont get out...it is netted all around so he can still feel the air and enjoy the scenery. I still supervise him though...we have alot of toms that roam my yard and I wouldnt want to leave him defenseless in case the toms got nasty. >I have a cat named kitty, and He is two years old.

The beauty of this method is that it doesn't matter a f.ck whether you keep the box inside, or outside the house, because wherever it is Kitty's inside the box. Should he become agitated at being in the box all day, every day, then simply knock it against the wall a couple of times, or (my favourite) roll it down the stairs. Advice - before you lock Kitty away in the box, mark which end of the box will correspond to his head, and vice versa, so you'll know which end to lower into the milk-carton at feeding time. If you forget, don't worry, as it's 50-50 every time, and he probably won't starve, due to the law of averages, and all that. what hole did you crawl out of?????? >> I have a cat named kitty, and He is two years old.

This has quite upset me...cats I respect but I could never be happy to (try) and keep/own one.. I think the poster must be brave and ither try and find a new home for the puss which has out doors access (he's only 2 so should be easy)...or let him out and except the risks ...can you fit a cat-flap ??? ...Any way be carefull ...pussy won't last long wondering around here at Alt.games.rpg...lots of hungery nasty monsters..

I take mine out on a harness and tie-out but you have to stay with him if you do this, too vulnerable to dogs and other cats tied up alone outside. Some people also build enclosures in their yards or on their decks - you may be able to find info on net on how to build one of these. Your smart not to let him out to roam, too many dangers out there and if he ran out right now, he'd probably try to find your old home (if you're in the same city as you were before). If he's not eating as much it may be due to the stress of moving somewhere new, you could try giving him some canned if he's just used to dry and see how that goes. >> I have a cat named kitty, and He is two years old.

You might also want to try the simple cat on a rope technique. Its quite simple. You take your cat and tie it to a rope. Some people insist on humane placements of said rope. If you know such people then go for one of those. The size and type of rope depends on the size and strength of cat or, really, on whatever rope you have. I've read a little about cats. It appears they need food. Your choice is whether to allow cat to access food. If food is part of your program, then by all means, make rope long enough to reach food. If not, then, really, the sky is the limit as to what you can do with a cat on a rope. |
