MemberHi guys,
Wonder if you can advise me? I've always really, really wanted to get a cat -- and in fact my therapist has recommended I get one to help deal with my Tinnitus -- but the problem is that I live in a dinky top floor flat, right on a main road.
The flat is surrounded by two very large, famous parks, but unsure how to get a cat there safely and be able to call it back in when needed. Obviously I don't want to take the cat out on a leash as I know it wouldn't like that.
I also know that you can get 'indoor' cats by choosing certain breeds, but I feel that my flat is too small for that.
If I do get a cat, will it follow me outside and back? Or can I let it out in the morning before work and back in when I return? I've heard of both happening with cats, but unsure how -- surely cats can't tell the time!
Also, just looked up the Croydon cat killer and it seems that the killings were actually caused by wildlife. Good to know it wasn't a person -- how horrible if it was!
Oh dear Tanni
what a predicament you have.
A cat would be very unlikely to obey your wishes, accompany you to the park, and come back with you again.
They will not be disciplined that way.
You would lose it I'm afraid.
Yes you could have a 'house cat' - that might work for you - but it may not get enough exercise, or may get fractious and neurotic.
I wish I could come up with a master plan,
but I can't think of one I'm afraid.
Best wishes
