Hello
My cat has stopped going outside!
He used to LOVE being out in the garden, climbing a tree, chasing leaves, mooching around in the bushes, sitting up high on the wall checking his 'territory' or just sitting on my patio table watching things birds.
He was spending hours and hours outside.
Now he won't go outside at all except for 5 or 10 mins to go to the toilet, and sometimes he isn't even doing that and using his litter tray (I don't mind that - in fact would prefer he used litter tray) but I DO mind that he isn't getting much exercise and is getting board.
I am playing with him in the evenings but he was much happier when he was exploring outside.
Does anyone know why a cat (he is just over a year old) might stop going outside? Do you think something bad could have happened to him in the garden? Do you think someone could be using one of those high pitched noise emitters?
He also seems slightly more flighty than he used to, like now he reacts if you drop something where as he didn't really before.
