question about indoor cat...

I have a wonderful cat named "Monocco". He is around 7 years old...
I am worried about having to now make him an indoor cat after he has been out. He loves going outside...Now the apartment that I am moving into is on a very busy street, and there is no way that he could go out.
For the last 8 months he has been living with my Mom on a farm. He slept inside and was in quite alot, but he is out during the day. I just don't know how I can move him into the city, into an apartment, and have him not be miserable. Any sugestions would be appreciated.

Don't worry, he'll adapt. Mine did when I found him in the street. Suggestions, get him lots of toys and a nice scratching post that he can climb. Leave a radio or TV on for him for the comfort. Good luck and don't worry, he'll adjust and please keep us posted.

We recently adopted a cat who apparently had lived on the streets for around 8 years. He has adapted quite well to being an indoor-only cat. Patience and time (and lots of toys as Frannie suggested) will make it turn out okay.

Thanks for the encouragement. I've been very worried about moving him here!Will keep you posted. Thanks.

I have a 16 year old cat that spent 9 of those years out side. We brought her in one day 7 years ago and now you couldn't get her to leave if you wanted to; she will go to the closes window screen and climb it! So don't worry I'm sure your kitty will grow to appreciate the comforts of indoor life. Good Luck, Larissa.
