Hi,
Where we are moving, Picasso is going to have access to the outdoors. How do I introduce this to her? She's been outside a few times in her life - not by my choice though! She darts for the door every time it's open! She will be living with three indoor/outdoor cats (Picasso and her new friends are all fixed) who are used to coming and going as they please. I would like to see her do this too, because I believe it may calm her down. It's a quiet neighbourhood with a couple of indoor/outdoor cats.
Should I let her out at first only while I am there? Should I put a collar on her? Will she be able to find her way home? Previously when she's escaped she's been either on a farm or a large property and didn't go far (just circled the house and climbed a tree). I know she'll have a blast out there because there are so many things to chase!
Thanks,
Picasso
