Hi,
I'm moving from a house with a backyard to and apartment. I'm taking the family cat, Captain, with me. He loves going outside, and we let him out for a few hours each day. He's mostly an indoor cat though b/c we don't ever let him out at night b/c he runs off for too long. (And we learned our lesson about cats and coyotes at night the hard way.) But he does like going outside and wondering around for awhile during the day,
However, I will only have a balcony at the apartment building. He gets really mad when he doesnt get to go outside at least for a little bit everyday. I'm hoping he will like the balcony, but there isn't much room on it. I would never let him walk around the apartment complex either.
So my question is has anyone been in this situation (about a cat who likes outside but you are going to be living in an apartment) and what have you done?
The only 2 things I can think of are to make the balcony as comfortable for him as possible, and take him to my mom's new house every once and a while and let him out to run around.
