Milo is our large muscled cat that WANTED to go outside. he would walk from window to window howling basically 24/7 keeping us up all night.
At one point we had considered taking him to the pound but they would put him down with behavior problems.
He is a VERY smart cat wit hall his claws but we lived in Madison with streets and so forth.
We put him on Prozac as a last resort and he seemed MUCH more calm but now he just seemed depressed.
As luck would have it we moved to a small town of 4,500 and now live just off a golf course fairway with country on the other side.
There are neighbor issues (afraid of cats and a totally different story) but Milo now spends MOST of the dark hours outside and is a very very happy cat. He is well behaved and loving and is once again a dream cat.
He even brings us a mouse a couple times a week to show his appreciation. Lays it next to the door and we must like it because we pick it up and put it in some special place.
A happy ending . . . so far.
