Is an outside cat!!  He howled so bad last month to be outside that I showed him the back door...and said....SEE YA!  He does not leave the yard. My yard is fenced in and I know he could get away...but he doesn't leave!!! ;D ;D ;D He is at the door in the morning to be fed and again at night and he seems PURRECTLY content ;D ;D ;D I wonder what he will do when it starts to get really cold? hmmmmmmm |

8-)Our cats used to live in the garage just fine with a few blankets out there for them. Unless there were kittens, then we would talk mom into bringing them into the house with whichever cat was the mom. I remember counting 35 one time because ALL of the females had kittens in the same time of the year. They were so cute.  I wish we could have a cat  |

I can't figure it out and the vet just shrugs her shoulders  He is afraid of thunderstorms and we had a terrible one sunday night  When it quit raining I called him and if a cat could fly ....he flew inside ;D ;D ;D He has plenty of shelter outside....but I am betting things will change when it gets really cold!!! |

My cat has a cat flap so he has always come inside and outside entirely at whim ... but he too rarely goes outside our own garden .. if ever - and spends I would say AT LEAST 50% of his time INSIDE sleeping !! - but he loves lieing out and roaming around the garden ... BUT if it rains or there are fireworks etc. I instantly here CLICK on his cat flap and IN HE COMES without fail !! ....
Hey Linda .. Do you think Taz might like a cat flap?? ;D ;D

OOPS!! Sorry Linda .. I pressed "modify" instead of reply but have now corrected myself!! ;D ;D .. you can get those ones where YOUR cat wears a small magnetic cat flap "opener" on his collar ... so ONLY HE can open it ... and the next door neighbour's cat and OTHER unwanted visitors won't stand a chance !! ... Just a thought for Taz !!  |

Taz has no choice ... he has to ASK to be in or out !! ;D ;D ;D ;D Our cat flap is put through our brick wall and it took about 30 "Cat Flap Extensions" to make it long enough ... and its a little like a TUNNEL!! ;D ;D |

;D ;D Well I have to say he looks exhausted by the time he gets through it !! ;D ;D I do feel sorry for the dog though ... he doesn't HAVE any such thing ....he HAS to ask to come in or out of the garden... but heck he is a LARGE labrador and I cannot even imagine what size of a flap he might need!! ;D No way !! |
