Recently I decided to try and take my cat outside using a hardness. It has been great so far! She is still a little awkward with the harness but once she gets used to the feeling she has a good wonder around the backyard. There is only one problem: once I bring her back inside she won't stop crying and scratching at the back door!
I know that she just wants to go back outside again, but I also have things to do and can't stay with her outside all day. She will stay at the door and cry and scratch for a good hour. When she comes back inside with me I have her some treats to show her that it is something positive. I've tried spraying water, clapping at her loudly and ignoring her to get her to stop but nothing seems to work. It is driving me up the wall! I understand her want to stay outside since she was once a stray, but like I said, I can't be out with her all day She doesn't want to wear a collar so I can't leave her to wonder on her own, and frankly I wouldn't let her anyway.
Any ideas?
