I took in a huge stray male cat almost 2 years ago. He was
hanging around my barn for about 2 years before I befriended him
and he adopted me. I've always had inside cats. This one goes
out. I'm a worrier (about my animals). I worry as soon as I lose
sight of him. Is it possible to make an indoor cat out of a stray
who lives to go outside????

Exercise is easy to provide with carpeted 1x4s or 2x4s (if you don't
mind the weight). An electric staple gun is the easiest (of course
you want to embed the staples deeply and on the opposite side of
travel). Warming up to the idea might take weeks or longer, so don't
get discouraged if he doesn't climb them immediately.

Good luck and have fun
