Hi!
My name is Gene, I'm from Russia but have lived in Thailand for the last 4 years. A year ago we adopted a 4-5 month kitty from our neighbor's house. They have cows, dogs and cats, freely moving around their land. We named our cat Yin. She's over a year now, freely walks around outside (it's safe here because there's no traffic on our dead-end street, and no predators). Hunts all kinds of geckos and sometimes small birds. She loves us a lot and always comes to cuddle, follows us around when we take a walk (like a dog!), comes to our bedroom through the window to sleep together with us. She's a short hair calico (mostly white) of Thai origins, weighs about 3.5 kg, is lean and agile. We've neutered and vaccinated her, and recently implanted a microchip.
A week later we will be moving back to Russia, cat will fly with us in the cabin (confirmed with airline).
I'm really wondering how the cat gonna feel moving from a big house in the tropical countryside to a big city apartment in the middle of winter. What can we do to make her adapt better? Is she gonna miss the outdoor, is it advisable to take a walk with her? So far we've bought a harness and she seems to not mind wearing it at all.
Would appreciate all advice!
