Hello.
We have six cats. Used to be more, way more, but they are now frollicking in the heaven
all of those losses were due to either late vaccinations or letting them roam outside. After four cats deaths I have massively hard time connecting wwith our remaining cats. My brain says theyll just die soon anyway. Thankfully, mom approved my idea of keeping them inside more or less 24/7. This has issues - we live with my grandparents who dont want to even see the cats. And grandma has tendency to throw them out which definitely doesnt help me sleep .
Most of them are OK with it. Chvostik sleeps next to me, and sometimes other join me or we lock them inside my brothers room. All of them are fine with it, even if they scream at night I put on headphones and they realise screaming wont help and go back to sleep.
All except Leo. Hes our biggest tom and when left inside he pisses in the bed. When left with me he pisses on my blanket and wwhen in empty room he pisses on the vacant bed there. This means mom doesnt want to leave him inside. We live in rural area, so there is a small building outside next to garage and that is pretty cat prepped so we keep him there and it has cat doors so we can lock him. But I would honestly sleep way better if they wwere just allowed inside.
There is also an issue of just. Space. And them asking to be let outside. I bought more toilets and things for them to play with but 6 cats is a lot and idk. But I would rather live with that that being afraid to open window shutters out of fear of seeing their little bodies lifeless on the road. I am just. I dont know how to handle it.
Some notes - all of the mollies (Chichi, Pinky and Vicky) are sterilized. None of the toms are sterilized because
noone in this house listens to me . They are on the waiting list for sterilizations, but mom said after vaccine and like. She is the one wwith financial backing to do it, so I have to shut up and listen.
