Re: Lazy moggy sleeps 24/7


That definitely sounds like the problem but until she gets over it I would introduce a litter tray. Being blind it will probably have shaken her more than a seeing cat and therefore could take longer to get over. Cats are generally clean animals and because she hasn't got a tray she is having to do it in places she wouldn't normally do it in and she probably hates it. Give her a tray so she can be clean again until she is prepared to go back outside. Although I have to agree with Fran that she would perhaps be better off inside. All 9 of mine are indoor cats and are fine. Hope everything sorts itself out one way or another.

Re: Lazy moggy sleeps 24/7


Just to update you on our situation.....

I have had a word with my neighbours about the son throwing things at the fence to scare my cat

They apologised and said it wouldn't happen again. I got quite rude with them when they said " What's the problem it's only a cat" I politly told them she is MY cat and is blind. I am to admit that I replied to them " When you pay my bl@@dy mortgage then you have a say at what goes on in my house/garden" !!

My cat is now venturing outside again. I have had to take her out and stay outside with her as a precaution and to give her the confidence she needed to rebuild again outside.

The other night she sat in the garden -in the freezing cold- for hours just sitting there. I am so chuffed she has the confidence back. She wouldn't even come back in when I called her I had to pick her up and bring her in!

To those who have suggested keeping her inside, yes I agree it may be an easier option, but if you knew my cat....you just cannot keep her inside. She loves the outside world and I don't see why I should deney her that freedom, just coz she is blind

TT - you know your cat best and I'm glad she seems to be venturing out again now. Also that your neighbours have responded positively to your requests.
