The boss yes the small beautiful grey furry thing, is not wanting to go out, i work shifts, when i come home i put her outside, if i can catch her, because if i dont i wont get some sleep at nights cos she wants to play,now she is under the bed cos she has heard me shouting to her!!!!
I dnt know where you live, but i used to live a little crack in the window that only my cat go out, this way she was curious and the cat will not think that you are trying to kick it out! and its also a great idea to leave some water outside, dnt leave food it will get all cat in town at your door. let the cat know your not kicking it out very importnat, tell it you'll be home soon let it know whats going on! Hope this helps some how!
My cats used to go out regualary on their own accord, but one went missing about 3 months ago and since then the other doesnt seem to want to go out, no sooner do i out her out she's att he window asking to come in. I dont know if she is scarred (if she seen something happen to her sister) or if she is just getting older now and prefares the comfort of my sons bed and amusing the puppy by getting him to chase her!
