Question
Hi,i have a cat who is around 7 months old, she was hand reared untill 5 weeks when i got her, Ive got her a harness and a lesh to take her outside, i live in a 2nd floor flat, and she wont go out, ive tried taken her in the garden, carring her down, she just shivers and scratches me untill i take her back indoors, please can you help me to get her out as i want her to be a outdoors cat, thanks.

Answer
Hi Tiffany,

I'm sorry I can't help you there. She is an indoor cat. She is too afraid of going outdoors and you really shouldn't place her in harms way. Outdoor cats have a very high percentage of getting either hurt or getting killed. Leave her inside. She is happy and content there. Keep her inside, safe and happy. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
