To make him sleep outside tonight?

[WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant]

He has a coat.
There is plenty of rain water around if he wants a drink.
He is an adult.
He is obviously engrossed in some kind of game and doesn't realise it is bedtime now.

I have called him, but there is no sign of him.

Cats can sleep outside?
They have done for hundreds of years before we made them pets?

If you don't mind guilt inducing meowing outside your window at 2am.

I actually cannot sleep of my cat isn't inside sleeping on the end of my bed. You may wake up to howling at your door

Yabu. You aren't employed to go to bed when it suits you. When you get really tired your employment contract allows you to walk around outside peering into bushes and trees, whilst simultaneously trying to recreate the noise of chicken breast being sliced, for 30 minutes or so before giving up and returning inside to find your amused employer sat waiting for their chicken breast to be served.

I thought you were talking about a DH for most of your post and thought it was totally reasonable. But a cat? No way! You must not rest until he is safely inside.

Lurked
I wish mumsnet had a like button!

Well, I fell asleep.
He didn't meow in the night.
Guess I am going looking for the stupid thing now....

Has he turned up yet op?

I can't leave my cat outside. She makes a noise like someone actually banging my front door. No idea what she does but every time I think who the fuck is that ? she got left out one night must have snuck out without me knowing and I woke up to it.

has the little fecker turned up yet?
