Well, we tried. The cat meowed until she could no longer meow, from being hoarse. She just HAD to go out.
We let her out in the morning (not too early!) and she comes in for lunch and a nap. She goes back out, and is back in the house in the afternoon when my son gets home from school. She wants to go out at dinner time, but she realizes that that is not going to happen, so she naps more. I make sure that she is in the house when I get home from work, and will continue to do so.
She is fixed, and has all of her shots. She sees the vet every year. We take pretty good care of her.
Thanks for all your posts.
