Then at 6 a.m or some other wee hour when the lane's very quiet he'll ask to go out again. He been used to being out all night. He's since put on weight as he is so used to going on his nocturnal forays. He'll now cry wanting to go out again, hates using the litter tray, so I give in..It's against his nature, he's a true nocturnal and this is how he gets his stimulation and exercise, despite having his mad 15 mins playing with his toys each day/night. It started when he had his op and he was in for so long, I thought this would be a good opportunity to keep him inside more, where at least I know where he is. (He went missing one night for 3 days and 4 nights a few months ago), but..old habits die hard. He's usually on the bed by morning gently snoring away. Admitedly this is the best sight of the day when I wake up, to find my 2 cats safe..so I know where you're coming from CM..

So far her worst has been 23 hours - I really hope she doesn't push it to 3 days - It is amazing how seeing them safe lets you have instant relaxation

I'm hoping wet and cold and snow will change things
