Cocoa, an indoor cat, likes to be walked on a leash. Lately, she's been begging to be walked. She'll meow at the door persistently, and it's getting frustrating. She can't be enjoying her day this way.
We tried to calm her down with a distinctive alarm every morning to signal her walk. This way, her walk is at a consistent time with a consistent signal. She gets to go out while the birds are active, too.
The alarm didn't help at all. She understands what it means, but she seems to think she can talk me or my son into more walks. I'm afraid that changing the routine will only make things worse.
Letting her outdoors unattended is out of the question. We have quite a few birds of prey, and people lose pet cats to them regularly. I can't build a catio because I rent the lot.
Cocoa tends to be a thinking cat, she communicates more than most cats, and she's extremely persistent when she has an idea in her head.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
