I worry when my kitten will grow up , he would want to be out side . But I had a other cat that went outside one day when I was on a trip. My paren'ts were watching her . When I came back the next day she died . We found out she had been poised. I think it was our neighber , she hated cat's and she been poiseding them. Can I prove that she did it and should I make my cat a inside cat . I love him and I dont want him to die. Need alot of advice.

Hi, the only way to have proven it was to have had someone see her do it and an autopsy done on the cat. I would definitely make him and indoor cat. If the kitty never goes outside it doesn't know what it is missing. if you are afraid something will happen while on trips take him to a kennel that boards cats, just make sure it is a reputible place and check it out before hand. Most places don't charge much for cats, but it's been a long time since I had mine and only charged 5 bucks a day for them. Let your parents know that it is not to be left outside if left in their care. I'm sorry for the loss of the other kitty, hopefully they will not let this one out if it is ever in their care.

First, you can't prove your neighbor did it. So I'd just let that go and move on, hard as it may be.
Now as far as your kitten, yes, make it an indoor cat. Cats that are rasied as indoor cats are perfectly happy being inside. They have a much higher life expentancy and have fewer health problems and injuries than outdoor cats. Some people say "cats are meant to be outdoors" but this isn't true. Cats are domesticated and function perfectly well inside. I have an indoor cat and he doesn't even want to go out when I open the door - he's a little scared.
When your kitten grows up, it might be curious about what's behind the door, like all cats are, but that's all. She will be perfectly happy staying inside. All cats want a territory and a place to feel comfortable. An indoor cat makes the inside its territory and is very comfortable and happy for many, many years! Just be sure it is spayed/neutered. That is an absolute must for an inside cat.

As a few folks already said- it's a bit late to work on proving she deliberately poisoned your cat. You'd need to have documentation from the vet. Even if the vet can testify in court, you'd need proof she specifically killed your cat.
Do report to the SPCA/humane shelter if there's been more than one death. What she is doing is wrong and it puts kids in danger as well. She can be fined and possibly jailed for setting out posion where children can get into it.
Keep your kitten inside at all times. Inside cats tend to be healthier and live longer, ESPECIALLY in the city!! If you let the kitten go out it will tend to develop bad habits that your parents will be very unhappy with. Also, why would you let him out when you already know a murderer of cats is right next door? Keep it inside unless you want it to die.
A garden is quite the temptation to any cat, and if others have been using the garden for a litter box or place to play it's very probable your cat won't be able to resist sneaking over to check it out. Keep the kitten inside always, even after it is grown up!

YES! If that woman is indeed poisoning cats she can be arrested! Report her.
If you fix your cat - it's generally very easy to keep them indoors.
Just make sure if you do so that you give the right kind of food for an indoor cat. They usually don't need wet food if they're indoors. Also - try to spend time playing with your cat everyday so that they remain active. These two things are very important for the health and happiness of an indoor cat!

Take him to a vet and neuter him. Then keep him inside. Neutering him will make him want to go outside LESS. Therefore keeping him as an indoor cat.
What you can do about the neighbor is call the humane society or SPCA and inform them about the problem.

That does sound rough.
Now, except for the first few weeks of their little lives, my cats have always been indoor cats. And I've never really had to worry about them running outside, except when bringing in a lot of groceries. And we close them in a room when we're doing that. They seem content enough.
If your garden is fenced and has some kind of barrier such as netting or wiring on it that he can't get out of, he should be fine.
Good luck!

Do not let your cat outside. Make sure your cat does not run out and watch the door when you leave. Lots of bad things can happen to cats when they are outside so it's best you protect him/her and keep inside.

elevate her scruff, if it settles backpedal on the instant this is prevalent, if it takes a pair of seconds or extra then this implies she is dehydrated and is a demonstration of ailment. take a glance at her gums in case you are able to in the event that they are very diminished or very purple then this is a demonstration of ailment too (does not artwork with black gums). this is unusual for a kitten of this age to circulate off their nutrition and mope around only using fact they are wiped out from enjoying. however its style of confusing to tell, you do not point out how long she has been like this, is all of it day (ie she hasn't eaten in any respect) or purely some hours. experience the ears, in the event that they are too heat, this is yet another sign. evaluate somewhat some those issues which comprise your older cat so which you would be able to tell the version. desire she's ok. of course if uncertain take her to the vets.

Definitely have the kitten neutered and keep him inside. If there are people in your neighborhood who would poison a cat you really need to do that. I wouldn't risk his life.
Cats outside can have fatal "secondary" poisoning too from messing with rodents whom people have poisoned. Maybe your neighbor did it deliberately, maybe not. It would be very hard to prove.

Keep your cat in the house. It is worse to let it outside and die then to keep him in the house. I have two indoor cats bacause my previous cat got poisoned as well. They get used to being indoors. It's not mean or cruel to keep them inside. If you have such an awful neighbour it would be the best.
