Thanks for your insights. Beleive me, I know everyone has good
intentions with their suggestions. I didn't get a dog. I got a cat. I didn't want the responsibility of taking a dog out. I thought there might be other ideas. "Mary" wrote in message . com... "keshcatlvr" wrote in message om... kaeli wrote in message . .. In article , enlightened us with... Please, if you are going to yell at me and tell me I am a BAD PERSON, don't bother replying. I just want REAL suggestions. Have you considered training him to leash and harness and taking him out for walks? He'd get more exercise, stimulation, and the joy of chasing bugs. LOL My Rowan would go stir crazy if I didn't take her out. Hi, thanks. I've considered it. My concern is that he will then cry to go out on a regular basis. P.S. no bugs here - it's WINTER~! Thanks. What if he does? It sounds like you don't like him much at the moment. Six months is a long time to put up with an unhappy cat in a one-bedroom apartment, though, so I can see why he might be getting on your nerves. However--if you really want to keep him you will be willing to put some effort into making him happy. If not, I can see why you feel guilty for wanting to get rid of him, but don't know what to say about that. His reaction seems extreme due to a change like a one bedroom smaller apartment. Did you say he was neutered? |

I made window seats made of wood (painted) that are screwed into the
window frames. Bird feeders are not allowed here. I have a variety of toys: the feather, the fishing pole, the wire with cardboard thingys. He isn't that interested. But we do use them. He also has a lot of different balls, mice, assorted toys which appear and disappear. I alternate them. He is not interested in catnip or television. Also, he does get time in the hallway every day. He explores. It's an inner hallway. He cannot get outside. He looks around and then lays at the door. The apartment is only about 400 sqare feet. We are talking tiny. olitter (PawsForThought) wrote in message ... From: (keshcatlvr) Get a floor to ceiling cat tree. I have a couple of them. I also have a utility cart in front of a big window so they can look out and then I have a bird feeder in front of that window. Get some interactive toys like feather on a stick toys and play with the cats. |
