Hi all,
6 months ago we took in a 2 yr old deaf white cat(George),we live close to a road so we don't ever let him out.He flits from one window to the other watching everything going on outside,which until now he has been happy to do.Recently however,with the onset of spring he has pined after me when I have gone to the greenhouse and even tried to squash thru a partly open window to get out.We have no room to build him a run and I sometimes feel we are doing him an injustice by keeping him locked up all and everyday.We had thought about teaching him to walk on a lead,but wonder if this would unsettle him more.We love the little guy to bits,and would dearly wish to find a happy solution to this problem,so any advice would be welcome....Alan
