Any advice on my cat’s situation is greatly appreciated.
My cat is 4yrs old. She has been an in/out door cat since we found her. Lately she has been refusing to go outside. Yesterday she used our basement carpet as a bathroom. (number 2 I might add). I put her outside and no sooner that one minute later she was crying bloody murder to come in. I have been making an effort to put her outside but she runs away and tries to squirm out of my arms. When I do get her out she immediatley cries to come in.
Could be a number of reason, but most likly she has had some sort of tramatic event happen to her outside. Like being chased by a preditor a dog,racoons, porupine, wolf, cougar or other dominent male cat.
It could becouse of the weather, is she fixed ? whats her age ?
Its winter its cold out, windy, more snow.
She is fixed. She doesn’t like the snow and I never leave her out for more than 20 minutes when it’s cold. Being chased by a another animal is a great point. Is it normal for a cat to use it’s own territory as a bathroom?
Tell her that if she goes out and may get lost , there is this real kind lady who I know , she just loves feeding little Kitty cat . But she may have to deal with a few other kitty cats . I remember when I first got fixed , I hated going out aas well and I still hate the snow .
It is a CAT. You don’t make them do anything. There’s something nasty outside, a coyote or this cold wet snow or something.
Cats are only happy if they’re eating sardines while laying on your pillow.
I really do not believe that you should have a pet , first you lost your dog with the sweater and then you try to force your Kitty to get out . I hope you do not have a bird . Just joking , I think .
