    Shes back!!!!:T :T :T :j I heard the cat flap at 0230 this morning, went downstairs and there she was meowing away. Nothing wrong with her, she had been gone 24 hours.

    My wife was inconsolable yest evening and sat downstairs with "jazzy" after she came home.

    She has said the cat flap is staying shut at nights now...mmmm we will see.

    This is another reason for not wanting Dibley to go outside:o since his op I have managed to keep him inside, but it will be when the warmer weather comes that we will see whether I can keep him in!

    Is he vaccinated against FeLV? That is the first thing to ensure before letting him out. Next, particularly at first only let him out when you are around and will be for a few hours. Let him out in a controlled way with you or your family in the garden. When the warmer weather comes let him out when you or family will be in the garden for the afternoon. If you are in a built up area don't let him out. If he has never been out or seen cats out, he will probably be quite content.

    Thanks PC, he has spells of seeming to be curious about going out and other times where he doesn't seem bothered. Before he was neutered he would try and make a dash for the door but now doesn't seem to be so interested.

    Yes, his jabs are up to date to.
