We got our lovely rescue cat in November. She loves going outdoors all day but has always been happy to come inside at around 5pm when she has her tea and heads upstairs to bed. We then lock the catflap until around 7am the next day when she heads off outside again.
I would prefer she carried on staying inside at night (we are in an area where the cat killer has struck several times and recently too 😢)
How can we do this in hot weather though? She loves an open window and will almost certainly be out and onto the extension roof at some point during the night.
She went out our loft velux several weeks ago and ran around on our main roof whilst it was covered in snow. We've kept them shut since but can't do that forever.
What does everyone else do?
