My Dad has just given me his cat, he's called Guinness. I picked him up on Saturday from my Dad's in Barnsley and drove him to my flat in Rugby (85 miles ish). He didn't like the journey one bit, meowing for alot of the way, but my girlfriend was in the back of the car with him. (He WAS in a cat basket, lol)
Now the thing is, when he was with my Dad, he didn't get any attention whatsoever, and he was also living with a german shepherd dog. He didn't like that one bit, and used to love it when I came round because I actually gave him some attention. Now he's here, he loves it, as he's constantly getting attention and hasn't got a big dog to contend with. The thing is though, he desperately wants to go out...
He's about 4 and a half years old, and apparently he's a hunter (my Dad said the vets said that, and I need to tell the new vets that, as apparently it makes a difference - don't know if there's any truth in that...) The road I live on is quiet, and there isn't any really busy roads nearby. I'm starting to get a bit worried about him, as he's constantly meowing at night to be let out, and during the day, he's started clawing at the windows in an attempt to get out - which is a bit silly of him, as I live in a 1st floor flat! My Dad said last time they moved, he escaped after about 3 days, disappeared for a day, then came back...and he reckons I should let him out tomorrow night, I'm just concerned it might be a bit early...
Just wondering when you think I should let him out, I assume you get this all the time, I'm just worried he'll manage to open a window and jump out and hurt himself...
And now for the obligatory picture
