I'd like our two young indoor/outdoor cats to become indoor only. We cannot do this at the moment... the reason is long and trust me, at the end you would agree it can't be done right now.
BUT, we are going to buy a house next year, and I think that would be the ideal time to keep them inside after moving, and then just keep them inside.
I think Lily will adapt pretty easily, but Sparkle is NOT going to be happy about it and she can be quite destructive! She also intensely dislikes Lily and has never accepted her at all. This is one of the many reasons I want her indoors because we hardly see her inside anymore. She gets very aggressive when she sees Lily. I think she feels that the house is Lily's territory. I've heard about a pheronome spray that calms cats. Does anyone have experience with it? Also, do cat fences work?
Thanks for any insights and advise for converting these two!

p.s. Old Oberon is always going to go out to the back yard for his sun bath. (Everybody gets along with Oberon.)
