Tips on letting cats out


Anyone got any?

Different sites etc say diff times to let em out after moving?

She needs to go out or rehomed. Im scared to let her out case she does not return so Im wondering if rehoming her is best. Feel bad rehoming her shes quite a funny cat doesn't like other people and has slowly got use to us, isnt a lap cat although can be sweet and cuddle up with you at night! She came from a cats home & she was treated poorly prior to the cat rescue.

Any suggestions girls Ive had enough.

Does she have to go outside? My 3 cats are total indoor cats, and have never been outside. If I had a cat proofed fence I might let them out. But I know that they are so much safer indoors away from other cats who might carry illness, away from cars, and any other wild animals that might wonder into my yard. Indoor cats actually live healthy-er and longer lives.

My mother found that using moth balls in the place where her cat was weeing helped stop him. There could be several reasons why she is not using her potty box. It could be that she doesn't like the litter. Their feet are very sensitive. It may be the location of the box does not feel safe or private enough. Or if she feel it is not clean enough it will put her off.

I hope this helps.

She uses her litter fine

She likes it private and it is

She didn't like the hood on it though so we took it off

We ruled out how clean the litter was because she pissed on the sofa when it was cleaned hours before

Shes just naughty shes now thinks thats her spot and its not!
