This past Monday evening I got him from a vet clinic in a nearby town that has some animals available for adoption. He's a neutered black cat with a small amount of white fur on his underside and is about three years old. The family who previously owned him named him "Sweetie" and since he knows this name and answers to it, I don't plan to rename him. They had to give Sweetie up due to a family illness and other serious problems.
Sweetie is just starting his fifth full day in my home, and so far he has been eating, drinking, playing, and using his litter box without any problems!
However, I do have a question. When Sweetie lived with his previous family they let him go outside.
In spite of being kept indoors at the vet clinic since last December, I strongly suspect he still has a desire to go out. I live in a dangerous high-traffic area, and I have also heard that there are some coyoties (sp?) living only a short distance away so it's very vital that Sweetie stays indoors at all times. I know I'm not here much, but I would really appreciate some advice and suggestions on helping Sweetie make the transition into a housecat.
Thanks in advance, and I'm looking forward to reading your comments.
