We adopted our kitten from rescue last May when he was about 12/13 weeks old. We were told to keep him in until after he had all vaccinations and was neutered etc. He was neutered quite late as he was very small and underweight and then there was the snow and so on, and between one thing and another he's now nearly a year old and hasn't been outside yet.
It's obvious he wants to though, he sits in the windows watching all activity, he paws at the glass. So I have bought a cat flap and getting it fitted in the next few days.
Have I left it too late though? Someone said I should have let him out months ago, that if hes too old he's past the stage of learning to be safe outside? Is that true? How should I do it, do I just let him go or try to acclimatise him? Harness training?
I haven't a breeze to be honest, this is my first pet at 45 years old! TIA.
