Cats on a lead, oh dear. Charlie (my cat) has gone to sleep on my bed with his paws over his ears. He is a miserable old cat now and doesn't go out much, unless the sun is shining and he sleeps on the shed roof, but think we may have to get him a 'cat stair lift soon' as he is having trouble jumping up on to the fence and then the roof of the shed. He was moaning yesterday as I had not cleaned the cat flap and he couldn't see out, so cleaned it for him. If I am in he likes the back door open. When we had the thunder storm had flooding outside the back door so I was out with a sponge clearing the water so he could go outside for a pee and probably dig my plants up. When we had the snow I had to give him a litter tray indoors as he wouldn't go out and was obviously distressed and when he tried to go in the wardrobe (probably to poo) thought the better option was a litter tray, but he was a very confused cat. When he gets very old will keep him indoors and get a litter tray but he gets quite distressed if he can't go out and dig the garden. I do see a lot of notices up about cats/kittens that have gone missing so can quite understand people if they want to keep their cats in and if that is want they want to do and the cats are happy, everyone else should shut up.
