My cat runs away for months at a time. This started happening when I adopted a 4 mo. old stray.
I've kept her in once before for a prolonged period of time when my neighbor was going to tent his home & gave us the heads up for her. It was from about the evening to the next day maybe around 11 am. (They ended up only spraying)
During this time she basically didn't turn away from the window or door. She loves the outdoors. Before, she would come in around 8 pm & be out the next morning.
I've read other posts saying to keep her entertained. I have catnip, Feliway, Cat music (musicforcats.com) so I'm prepared.
That time keeping her inside was very stressful & I don't know how long she will keep it up. Jackson Galaxy said to just keep the cat inside, but I'm just concerned w/ the stubbornness of my cat in particular. She's a tortoiseshell & people have said that 'tortitude' is real.
I've considered cat fencing but don't want to make the investment incase they are mad & just want to escape.
So how long has your cat kept this up while transitioning?
Anyone with a tortie?
