I also cat proofed my home 
Oh yes Rita, if Iām on the loo, or a doors closed she will meow she definitely doesnāt like closed doors.
When I pop to the shops she is only happy in the hallway with the Polly 
.
She also likes to be high up too.
When we first got her I could see she was wary as when she would sleep she would go under the bed at the back. So when she stopped doing that I knew she knew she was safe and this is her tribe.
Iām really lucky my others are so loving and friendly if I play you tube and a cat meows they all come over like ā has she got another one ā
Iām going through a dilemma atm with mine.
They were outdoor cats, (except Rita who goes in the catio not oaming freely) since we moved out for building work for 4+months they had stayed indoors very happy.
Now we are back home with the garden one of them really wants to go out. But all I keep seeing on this nextdoor app is peopleās cats going missing and being taken by people who think they are strays - all the cat did was sit on their wall and they take them.
So Iām scared to let them back out again but feel mean.
They are happy and chilled indoors but they miss going Im sure. Iām just scared someone will take them.
So not sure what to do! Itās been since July 2023 they have been indoors. Iām thinking to wait until summer so Iām with them out there all dayā¦ watching them hehe 
Edit : + since they havenāt been out the wildlife and birds are full in the trees and it would be like an episode of David Attenborough and the big cats hunting up the tree.

Itās not mean to keep them in.
Keep them in.
Itās always safer I say. Ours are always in. Unless they are in that inclosure. I couldnāt live with myself if I lost one or a predator got one.
You got enough toys and stuff for them to be happy in the house.
Google cat enclosures. See what comes up. We use to have this tent. Iāll find it for you. But when itās not nice out and we canāt be out with them watching them. They stay in.

I have quite a few catio joined on to eachother but I want to build one and make sure they canāt get out the garden but can still feel happy in an enclosure.
I always believed in letting them out, but something has changed in my thoughts. Itās not them I donāt trust its just not like it used to be.
Basil he used to hunting all day, and bringing back the hunt to show me how itās done. His the one thatās a little unhappy just looking out there. I have to take him round the house to help me do jobs, he needs to think his got jobs to do 
then he loves to be told his good boy his whole face changes. Like a dog that needs working, thatās Basil

Have some tuxedo kittens they told my sister. It will be fun. Hereās a snapshot made by my sis on her balcony, locked out by this little monster who managed to lock the door on the inside with sis outside. Luckily sis brought her phone so she could take this pic (and call her son who lives nearby and has spare keys).

Iāve always kept mine inside. Too many things can happen to them outside. Can you build them an enclosed area outside so they can still experience the outdoors without being in danger?

Back at the farm, after an afternoon of reconquering the house, Missi needs to sleep between Mummyās legs 
Iāve no clue where the boys are.

Thatās funny. Just the other day, Photos put together a slideshow from when I āvolunteeredā at the SPCA. (It was actually community service for my DWI but I got to choose where I did it so, naturally I chose somewhere with animals 
) I mostly worked with the cats and it was actually really fun. There were some real sweethearts 
I wanted them all!

We had a calico named Patches when I was growing up. She was a dear. The neighbor kids brought flowers when she died.
