Evening all, I have a quick question. I've been making my tomcat sleep outside for about 2 weeks now. Even though winter is approaching, it's still quite mild out, but I was wondering if it's a good idea to get him used to sleeping outdoors?
Every evening it breaks my heart to put him out, but he used to sleep in my bathroom which is very big. Unfortunately, I've recently had an infestation of fleas; I've treated everything, including my cat, and I'm being careful that he doesn't bring any more back, so for now I'm not letting him sleep in the bathroom where I keep my clothes. I live in a studio flat, so the bedroom is in the same room as the kitchen and I just can't sleep with the cat in there... I'm a light sleeper :/
Plus, when he slept in the flat, he'd be pestering to go out at 4am – I felt like I had a newborn baby to look after! ^^
He still comes in during the day, but the night-time is really problematic. He doesn't really have anywhere to sleep outside except under my car, I think :/
I should mention that I live in the countryside.
Thanks for your help! :)
