So we have a kitty named Nym, about 4 or 5 years old. He is a neutered male, very large (I'd say around 15 lbs, and he's not over-weight) and can be quite nasty. We raised him since he was two weeks old as an orphan. He was raised around people, other cats, and animals like dogs and chickens, but his personality is just a little nasty (he likes to start fights and he tends to win them). We moved a couple years ago to the suburbs from a farm and since he has come here he has sort of terrorized the neighborhood cats. We've worked really hard to set a schedule with him so that he is only out when most cats are in (he demands to get his energy out outside. He will meow and meow at the door non-stop and become quite grouchy and aggressive if kept inside). Anyways, I guess someone threatened to file a complaint (didn't even contact us) and we've been told we have to keep him inside permanently. We hope to move in a year or two, but that's a long way off. Nym is now going to have to get use to being inside permanently, and he doesn't play, so he won't get any energy out. Any advice for what we can do beside just endure that time?
Despite his quirks, we love him. He may be a nasty boy prone to biting and scratching, but we made a life-long commitment to him when we brought him home as an orphan.
We have 6 dogs that sometimes overwhelm him in the smaller house we've moved to, so he doesn't really like to be downstairs with them. He'll go from having walked around and explored for 8 hours a night to being confined all the time. : (
