Does anyone here keep a house cat? I think it's kinda cruel and just plain daft but I've just moved into a new house where the owner (my new housemate/landlord) is insisting the cat stays indoors. I wasn't aware of the cat being a house cat prior to moving in and I'm a bit peeved as the cat is clearly stressed/unhappy about not being left out, and has been escaping through any window left open.

Do they get used to it and calm down?

My last cat was a house cat. He was a rescue we got when he was 9 and had always been indoors. He was absolutely fine with it (tbh he never would have coped on the mean streets of central Brixton ). We specifically asked at Battersea for an indoor cat as we had no outdoor space. I don’t think it’s fair for a kitten or a younger cat, but for an older cat who’s always been inside it’s fine. Some of them don’t fancy going outside that much. There’s plenty of cats with FIV for example who stay inside.

Yeah my ex girlfriend's cat was pretty much a house cat and seemed fine but this cat is just over a year old and is really hyperactive and annoying, I hope he gets used to it soon but I very much doubt it. It doesn't help that I've accidentally let it out a few times so he's had his taste of freedom!

It depends on the cat.

As colacubes has said, it would be unfair to let a cat that's only ever known being a house cat out on the streets.

But it's also probably a bit unfair to suddenly expect a free range cat to become a house cat. There is a chance that kitty will get bored / destructive - you will probably need to put a bit more effort in to playing with kitty / giving them some exercise, and you will need to invest in some scratching posts / surfaces, otherwise kitty will find their own.

possibly one of those cat climbing tree things. although they may do this -

My cats are indoor only, they are ridiculously happy and healthy cats. It's not cruel. Plenty of cats have to stay in for health reasons (you don't know whether it is FIV positive for example) You are probably projecting if you think the cat is stressed or unhappy about it, they are more likely disturbed by your arrival in the house and associated disruption to its space.

Stop leaving windows open. It's not your cat and not your decision.

I've long chronicled here Missy's penchant for stealing socks and occasionally kid's mittens, and she's now expanded her repertoire. Hopefully my excuse of why there's a pair of young girl's underpants in my back garden - the cat did it - will suffice.
