I have my first fostered cat - a lovely 18 month year old black cat that was a stray cat but must have had some human companionship in the past as he is very friendly. My problem is I feel guilty at keeping him in a room on his own for what could be weeks. He is obviously a cat who loves the outdoors and sits on the windowsill whining every night. I feel like I am imprisoning him but know I can't let him out as he may not come back. I do spend an hour with him 3 - 4 times a day, and he comes and sleeps on my lap. But he won't play with anything. The first cat I have met who isn't interested in the laser pen. What can I do to stop him being bored. Is it right to keep a cat in like this - don't they get bored? I wanted to do my bit this year to help as many cats as I can but feeling this guilty each time is something I don't know I can deal with.
