He wanted to walk up the stairs back to the apartment himself, and doesn't seem to be favoring any specific foot. Still eating and drinking. He seemed a little dazed at first, probably just the adrenaline wearing off. Yeah :/ he'll be leashed out there or we'll get some netting. He's quite the adventurous kitty, he's pretty well leashed trained and he'll walk with me and we'll let him off-leash at the park too and he does fine. Sometimes he'll want to climb a tree but I limit him to the smaller ones or bigger ones only as far as a leash/harness will go. <cite>blu posted [p:939980920] in My cat jum...

I'm going to be nice about this because I don't know if you are intentionally missing the point or are victim to the 21st century school system. Cats are independent by nature. They are perfectly capable of roaming around off-leash and taking care of themselves without supervision.

blu 05/31/20 2:23:26 PM #18:	He likes dogs. He either ignores them or runs up to them when hes off-leash. I do get a bit worried so I put him on leash if anything bigger is around or pick him up if theyll get close, but hes made friends. Hasnt been scared of them. Cars/trains driving by he doesnt like, but we stay away from them. He slumps down and walks away or to a nearby bench when off-leash if its super loud and similar on-leash. He doesnt run quickly and hide so I just keep up with wherever hes going. He wants to be on the ground when a car is nearby. <cite>blu posted [p:939986773] in My cat jum...

As kittens any cat I've had has always been reluctant about outside but soon start getting used to it.

However being as your kitten/cat is now more domesticated and thus a indoor cat it doesn't matter now. My brothers other half has a house cat. It's fine but again it's not something I personally would do. Any cat I've had has always been a outdoor cat. This doesn't mean they didn't come inside for shelter and food though. My dads "gf" took the cats we had with her when she moved into a flat. One of them fell off the balcony as it simply wasn't used to said flat(they both were outdoor cats when with us), slumped under a car and died. I resent her for personal reasons but that added more fuel to the fire as it was irresponsible of her.

The friend I got her from had an outdoor cat. But after having kittens, it wouldn't go outside anymore. Probably because it was taking care of the kittens. And probably felt they'd be safer inside. I only took a cat because he wanted to give them away, and didn't want them to go to a shelter. So, I took her in. So, when i had gotten her, she already didn't like the outside, as it was new and different to her. When I tried to get her a little use to it by taking her out, she sort of made it clear that it was not a place she wanted to be. Though, also, it can be pretty dangerous around he for any pets. It would be a little safer if people kept they're pets from roaming around, but I'd still worry about her, as the other cats are bigger(especially with her being so small). And some can be really mean... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.

It's fine but again it's not something I personally would do. Any cat I've had has always been a outdoor cat. This doesn't mean they didn't come inside for shelter and food though. My dads "gf" took the cats we had with her when she moved into a flat. One of them fell off the balcony as it simply wasn't used to said flat(they both were outdoor cats when with us), slumped under a car and died. I resent her for personal reasons but that added more fuel to the fire as it was irresponsible of her.</quote> It probably would have been an indoor cat either way. The friend I got her from had an outdoor cat. But after having kittens, it wouldn't go outside anymore. Probably because it was taking care of the kittens. And probably felt they'd be safer inside. I only took a cat because he wanted to give them away, and didn't want them to go to a shelter. So, I took her in. So, when i had gotten her, she already didn't like the outside, as it was new and different to her. When I tried to get her a little use to it by taking her out, she sort of made it clear that it was not a place she wanted to be. Though, also, it can be pretty dangerous around he for any pets. It would be a little safer if people kept they're pets from roaming around, but I'd still worry about her, as the other cats are bigger(especially with her being so small). And some can be really mean...</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
