my cat is outdoor most the time but to eat and sleep it stays in the conservatory. during the day she comes into the conservatory and scratchers at the kitchen window and miaus. she has food so its not that. is it attention or somethnig else.
Is there a reason why your cat is only inside some of the time? It would be a lot happier and healthier indoors, though you would need to neuter her. She'd probably fuss about going out for a while, but really is better off inside full time and they do get used to it. You'll be saving her from cars, dogs, other cats, poison, heatstroke, snow, just being lost, and crazy people out there. Why not make her an inside cat, and maybe train her to walk on a leash (using the double-collar harness... a neck collar alone isn't a good idea at all).
