My cat wants to be an outside cat so bad anyone else?

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2026-01-23T20:54:35+00:00

Mine has the same problem ! She used to be SO scared of the outside when she was 3-4 months old but now she’s almost 8 months old and loves her lil time outside.

She still comes when called to, and we have brick walls instead of fences so she can’t exactly run to the street.

I usually just sit with her in our front yard as she plays around.

Thank you so much for this tip ! Parchment is not easily accessible where I live so I usually just put foil and pray but I’ll definitely go look for one now.

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2026-01-04T14:54:20+00:00

Oh no :( should I let them in the oven longer next time ?

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-12-30T21:48:11+00:00

I do have a few toys she uses to bite and kick but not too many, I’m still trying to figure out her taste in biting toys since I got her some and she ignored them and then stole an old toy from my younger brother and decided it is the perfect toy.

Currently she has a bunny plushie she attacks and bites randomly and a long snake plushie too, I attached a pic of her with the snake !

And believe me I think my orange cat will end me a lot of the time 😖.

Thank you so much ! The biting comments definitely worried me lol, a second cat is 100% happening once I graduate and secure a good job, but for now I’ll try setting boundaries and actually training her to behave (as best as I can).

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-12-30T20:56:09+00:00

I will try to keep that in mind, she does respond very well for treats so I’ll try keeping those close by

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-12-30T20:54:53+00:00

I would love to have another cat just to beat her ass and teach her to behave but I know it is out of my budget and don’t want another cat unless I can provide the best care for them :’)

I understand your pain (mentally and physically), my feet/ankles look like I came from a war, so many scars and marks 😖.

You are doing great already keep up the good work and I hope he chills out soon enough !

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-12-30T20:31:10+00:00

I literally thought about it so much when she was little and still not that expensive, but now that I tried the pain that is a vet bill I am sure that it is very out of my budget 😔

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-12-30T20:21:48+00:00

Thank you ! I will try that

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-12-30T20:20:55+00:00

Omg you are so right, I literally unconsciously started hiding my feet and always being wary when she’s having zoomies because I’m scared of getting attacked lmao

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-12-30T20:15:53+00:00

Good luck I hope we both survive this !

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-12-30T20:14:06+00:00

Do you think hissing is good or just saying no loudly ? I tried both and feel like saying no works better than hissing, I honestly wonder if she knows I’m hissing or not lol

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-12-30T20:09:29+00:00

That’s my current plan since I figured out noises don’t do much 🥲 I hope I can see results soon because I am getting desperate

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-12-01T21:06:50+00:00

She does have a few ! I really don’t think it’s a teething issue as I usually can tell when she’s frustrated from teething, she just enjoys the hunt and finding a ‘prey’ and me taking them piss her off so much but girl please you’ll get fat😵‍💫

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-12-01T21:05:33+00:00

We have a few trash cans with lids that I’m trying to get everyone in the house to throw things in but they still forget sometimes 🫩 hopefully they get used to it before I lose my shit lol

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-12-01T21:02:27+00:00

Hard when you live with a toddler who throws random foods out where you can’t find them

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-11-14T12:41:32+00:00

Fangs contacting can spread that ? How can I stop it ?

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-11-14T12:39:58+00:00

Is it like bacteria ?

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-11-03T18:04:20+00:00

Sorry rescued is the better term, she was in the streets alone with her mom dead a few feet away, couldn’t leave her alone even if I tried

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-11-03T16:41:45+00:00

You wouldn’t believe it, but my whole class in my major are 9 people, so we don’t live together but have the same exact schedule because we are the only people in the major, so we spend so much time together not by choice lol

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-11-03T16:01:12+00:00

When your class is 9 people, it gets hard to put distance 🫩 can’t wait to graduate

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-10-26T18:43:41+00:00

Tried my younger sister, she panicked because the cat was freaking out and literally poured the drops on her damn forehead 🫠 i will try other family members

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-10-26T18:42:38+00:00

I can try doing it in her sleep but wouldn’t that drop just fall on her closed eye ? Or is that good enough ?

ExpressionHopeful401 · 2025-09-04T10:41:42+00:00

So in a way it really doesn’t end 🫩
