Hi ladies and gentlemen,
my kitten Tiger(5 months old) was always trying to go outdoor to play in the yard, chew some grass or chase anything that moves, the problem when I saw this black cat with rabies outdoor, then I decided to eliminate this habit of Tiger playing outside(not far from the door it's just like within 15m from the door and within the yard) so I started keeping him indoor 24/7 but that was not the problem yet, sometimes I Yelled at him from long distance to make him hate the yard and it didn't work the way I wanted it to do. he'd still go out but RUNS when he sees me. he doesn't run away from me inside the house, but when he's outside he views me as a predator.
what made me believe that this has to be fixed is what happened yesterday,
I was working in the yard like 80m away from the door, I turned around and saw Tiger playing, I didn't do anything 'cause the door/street is so near, didn't want him to run towards them, but when he saw me immediately run away and not to the house but away from it, thank god I could catch him before he crosses the street. That could've been the last time I see him, a car could've hit him,
so guys please help me, how can I make him not run from me outside?
- the rabies cat is being dealt with, don't worry about it.
- I cannot really control the doors being always closed since I'm not the only one living here.
- he'd not NORMALLY go far away from the door, so I guess it'd be okay to let him play in the yard every now and then given that he'd do that whether I liked it or not but at least he won't run from me when he sees me.
- My relationship with him is good we're good inside the house, it is oddly different when he is outdoor
