My fiance and I are moving to another house January 24th. We were taking care of a few of the neighborhood cats, and just friday our Girl got hit by a car
We are taking her brother with us, and are going to get him fixed and immunized, and we are going to try and keep him as an indoor only cat. His whole life has been outdoors and I recently have been letting him in the house more and more for extended periods of time... Right now as it is we have no inside cats, because my girl Dinah is staying with my mom untill I move back that way. ( I did not expect to move in with my fiance, and we are moving so soon that to move Dinah twice would have been unnecesarily traumatizing...) I dont have a litter box yet, but I will most likely get one tomorrow and introduce him to it.... he has never used one before....
Any tips to get him to use a litter box? And what about socializing him with Dinah when we do move?
I am just so afraid he wont be able to adjust to inside life. He is so sweet and loves to be pet.... He hates being held though, and growls when you do, but as soon as you put him down he will come right back for petting...
I also dont want him to get pissed off an start scratching the furniture... my fiance is bringing his 3000 leather couches
He would be very very unhappy if something happend to them....
Any one have some successful strategies???
