I really need some advice.
The introduction between Kitty and Maisie has been going well, I thought. Kitty seems to be intimidated by her though. He has showed no signs of aggression just been a bit off with me. Maisie is very sweet with me but hisses at Kitty.
They have seen each other three times now. Each time lasting only about a minute.
Kitty has always been an indoor/outdoor cat. I first got him because he lived in our garden for about three months and I don`t think he would cope well with being indoor only.
Maisie shows no interest in going out which I am glad about because I`d like her to stay in.
The thing is Kitty is spending more and more time out. Yesterday he went out at about 12pm, came back for some supper and stayed for half an hour then went back out and I didn`t see him till the morning.
Today he wasn`t home when I finished work and he hasn`t come home yet.
I know where he is.
He`s in the flat next door. I know the man very well and he just rang me to say Kitty is asleep on his bed. He knows he mustn`t feed him but I don`t know if he does occasionally.
What can I do? I did always wonder if Kitty left his last home because he didn`t get along with anouther cat in the house, that`s why I never got a companion for him. He was very happy being an only cat.
I don`t want to lock the cat flap with him indoors because he will feel trapped and when he did go out he might never come back. I`m worried he may still `run away` and he`s eventually not going to come home.
I feel so bad for him and I miss him and the close bond we shared badly
