Keeping Kitty Happy

Keeping a cat indoors is beneficial to the health of the animal. They have no chance of getting hit by a car, they don’t have to deal with the pound and they cannot be snatched by strangers. But, indoor cats can be very insistent on going outside despite our best efforts to keep them happy indoors.

· You can fashion an escape resistant inclosure for the cat. Make sure all the walls connect and there is a celing so kitty can’t jump out. Make sure materials are animal friends and placement is in a quiet safe area.

· You can add a cat door and a run so your cat can easily get to their favorite outside space. Knowing that your pet is safe to roam in the enclosure will keep you at ease and with a cat door you don’t have to be annoyed by a persistent cat’s meow.

· You can train your cat to become accustomed to a leash outdoors. This a fun alternative to an enclosure because the cat will be roaming “free” and you will safely be at its side. Although be careful of unleashed animals as your cat will not be able to defend itself fully with a leash on.
