Well, as some of you will know, we adopted Ronnie and Charlie a few weeks ago from Blossom2 and her dh and dd who are off to live in Paris! They're gorgeous and have settled in beautifully and as far as we can tell are pretty happy. Problem is that they want to go outside - Ronnie in particular sits at the door mieowing loudly. I have taken him out in the garden twice now along with me for a few minutes, but am worried about letting him out alone. I realize this is what cats do, but wondered how you let go for the first time. They did go outside in their previous home, but as yet we have no cat-flap. Please, any of you cat owners, if you have any advice, I'd be really grateful. I feel bad about keeping them in, just don't want them to run off!!
