Hi,
I just moved my 16 year old outdoor cat from CA to NYC. In CA he was strictly an outdoor cat that came inside occasionally. He enjoyed a wide outdoor territory in the coastal hills, numerous times I found him sunning himself two miles from home when I would go on hikes. He enjoyed his rare indoor time but would often cry to be let outside. He was really happy here in NYC for the first few weeks, didn't seem to miss the outdoors and didn't cry at all. Now, my boyfriend and I haven't slept for over a week! Starting at 10pm until 6am he loudly cries and roams around looking for a way out. Then, he contentedly sleeps all day!! We have no idea where to start in helping him work through this adjustment. Any suggestions from those that have been through it would be appreciated. Also, if this is something that is known to pass, any idea on how long it usually takes?
Thanks,
Candice
