ok, it's official. Pix is very happy, she's been doing well. Has lots of toys and plays all around the house. She only uses her litter box and scratches only her scratch pole. So I think we will be okey. Thanks for all the responses and help...

cats are out side animals there not somthing that can be keeped in side well but the only thing you can do is give her all the toys and fun she needs there are such things as cat leads but not too many cat take to them it just and idear tho that maby you could walk her out but as i said so many cat dont take leads well but at some point she will have to get used to living in side

Yip, she is definitely getting fat... She is on the Indoor Science diet. I give her exercise by letting her run up and down the stairs after her toy... like I said.. she loves to play catch. ;)

Cats do not adapt well to suddenly being forced indoors all the time. Most rescue centres will not home a cat into an environment which goes against the cat's usual lifestyle. I have 5 cats at the moment, all from kittens and all housecats and they are very happy. I once took in a cat from a friend and tried to keep him in, but he did everything he could to get back out. I doubt your cat will ever be content inside when she knows what is out there. After all, cats are wild by nature and you should only keep them inside if they know no different. She will get fat, you should reduce the amount you feed her because diet advice on packaging is based on active animals, and housecats aren't. I struggle to manage my cats weight's because some are worse than others and having five it is impossible to feed them all seperate. You just have to think they don't need all that food when they're hardly exercising.

leave the radio on for her in the daytime.my cat likes that.

I think you're doing the right thing by playing with her. Maybe some cuddling too. ;) But I think you should ask your vet - they'll probably be able to help you.

Do CATS seriously get depressed!!???

Thanks a lot Anon... we do play with her a lot. She likes to play fetch. I just think that maybe she really misses the outside world.

Play with her. No need for fancy toys, just get a piece of thin rope and maybe tie a used collar at the end of it, and drag it around the flat, it'll be fun for both of you.
