I know some will advise to let her in - but she would like to be in all the time and i think cats should be outside alot as it is healthier for them (and the owners.) She also needs to be outside to poo as I don't think I should have to give her a litter tray when she has a garden. She cries all night and is driving me mad!

we have an outdoor cat, but we let him in at night. why don't you keep her outside all day, and inside at night? you'll be asleep so she won't annoy you, and after being couped up inside all night, she'll probably be happy to get back outside in the morning.

1. Some cats actually prefer to be inside most of the time.
2. If you can't be bothered to have a litter tray in the house, in some out-of-the-way spot, then you are not providing for your cat's welfare. Modern 'clumping litter, if deep enough, will prevent odours. (Incidentally, what happens when your garden area is frozen solid in winter?)
3. Cats are not just furry ornaments that can be ignored (in fact, your cat doesn't want to be ignored!), so maybe you are not cut out to own a pet. Nothing to be ashamed of - some people are, some are not. Pets take up time, patience and understanding are required, vet fees have to be paid, etc., so have a big think and if you are not prepared to be a little more understanding of your cat's wishes, then why not consider letting it go to some one who will have the time and interest to accommodate its needs. And you will get some sleep, too!

it really is going to be blatantly obtrusive to even a none puppy proprietor that this animal needs again outdoors. you are able to deck out a reformatory like the Hilton inn and it continues to be a reformatory to an outside cat. My outside cat went through this conversion procedure at the same time as she replaced into attacked and extremely almost lost a leg to a severe joint an infection. And that replaced into 5 months of organic Hell on earth. We had to keep her interior the entire iciness at the same time as she relearned the thanks to regulate the leg and study the thanks to stroll back. And there replaced into no longer an afternoon that she did not war up onto a window sill or lay on the door and howl to get out. After about a month and a 1/2 of this the canines 'snapped' and all started chasing her around the abode till she regained finished use of the leg. The happiest day in this abode, short of the start of my little ones, replaced into the Spring Day that we opened the door and enable her again outdoors. As I style this i'm watching her burrow into the snow outdoors my place of work window, searching for mice with our different cat.

It has gone beyond being driven mad and you have obviously actually become mad.
Your cat wants to come in because it needs shelter and knows that being outside all the time is unhealthy!
Let the poor creature inside and install a cat flap so that she can come and go at will. My cat is in all night and doesn't go toilet - you you may find you don't need cat flap or litter tray and she'll wait for you to let her out.

she wants to be inside with you! as for being outside, cats get sick from other cats that way, not to mention eaten by a hungry coyote! Just get a litter box, with a lid and a good type of litter, so you can keep the Oder control down, Cats need alot of love and attention, so be patient.

Cats should be brought in at night they are natural preditors killing birds and other wild life it is law in my country to have them in at night give it somewhere comfortable to sleep and in house cat play centres covered with a cheap carpet so they can claw and climb if they want so as to not ruin your furniture.They are not that expensive and a kitty litter tray just in case but older cats can hold on kittens cant ..If it is male there is no other way .

some cats prefer to be indoors, I know lots of people who have house cats, it's perfectly normal. They are not meant tobe outside 24/7 that's just cruel. If she's meowing to come in let her in!! If you don't want the responsibilities of having a pet re home her so she can be treated properly and get the love and attention she deserves!!!

Actually, it is healthier for cats to be inside. Indoor cats live much longer than outdoor cats.. about five years. I would let her in for about 20 minutes than take her back outside. Or you can go sit with her outside every so often, perhaps she just wants a companion.

Totally ignore the cat- never acknowledge that you even have a sense of hearing. If you were deaf, the cat would have to get your attention in some other way. Meowing only works because we teach them it works. You can also make sure to feed the cat away from your house and never feed it if it meows at you. Cats can be trained just like any other animal.

Why have you got a cat you have obviously no idea how to look after one. If you don't want the cat indoors then take it to the local cat protection place and let it find an owner who will love it and treat it well.

Let her in. You're just being lazy by not having a litter tray inside - if you want a cat then you have to take on the responsibility, not just have the fun when you want it!!
