I'm really not an outdoors person but my cat Ben very much is. Generally when his crying to go outside gets too much to ignore I will go out with him and follow him as he wanders my small yard a bit, keeping a close eye on him to make sure he stays safe, before taking him back inside. Lately, however, his crying has been near constant, and I simply don't have the time and energy to be out with him as often and as long as he wants. I try to keep him entertained with toys and playing and lots of attention but he just doesn't seem interested. What should I do? Should I keep letting him out when I can and try not to let his crying bother me too much the rest of the time, or should I stop letting him out at all to teach him that whining won't work? Or should I just stop worrying so much and start letting him out unsupervised? (I don't want to do this as I'm aware it can be very dangerous but I'm seriously at the end of my rope here)
