Well, let me start by saying that I know many people will recommend that my cat be an indoor cat. I've heard it and would prefer not to hear it any more. I'm respectfully, trying to find a real solution.
I have a I have an 8 month old Siberian. i had him neutered at 6 months of age. I love the little guy and want him to experience everything life has to offer. I know that this is not in my house, thus I do let him out for short periods of time.
Normally he is out for an hour or so at a time and then comes running back for a treat. despite being very nervous about him being out I know he would be miserable inside.
On a couple of occasions lately he has wandered off quite far where he has crossed a major street. (He, in both cases, actually ran to a horse betting establishment where the security officers called us to pick him up)
I'm trying to find out if anyone has any ideas as to how I might keep him from wandering off like this? I thought that being neutered would help in this regard but he seems to keep doing this. I know the easy answer is to just keep him in but frankly, I'd rather be kit by a car than kept indoors for the rest of my life.
I've checked out these RF collars but nothing seems to be made for cats, in a size that they can wear.
Any ideas would be welcome!
Please!
