I'd like to get some ADVICE (!!!) over what we can do or what options we have over our cat. I posted a thread about a month ago saying this cat had turned up on our doorstep and not left for a few days, well she's still here, no one has owned up to her. I'm now in a position where I think we may have to find a new home for her.
After recent events I said she would remain a house cat due to the fact we live on a busy road, however, she is driving us mad. Clawing the carpets and sofa. She paces from one window sill (and knocks things off in the process) to the other looking put the window and meowing like she wants to go out. She doesn't actually ever try very hard to get out but we are worried that she might.
Also we breed guinea pigs and mostly keep our pigs in the shed, but we do have some in the living room (which my OH has had to make a mesh lid for so she doesn't get in and kill them). She is a little obsessed with them. We had our very first litter born on Sunday and she is fixated by them.
Our other potential problem is, we are looking for a lodger and we fear they might not think to check the cat is not around when they open the front or back door. At the end of the day, the cat won't be there responsibility. Also in the summer, because our house is flat roofed, it gets absolutely baking and the only way to try and cool the house down is to open the back door and all the windows. We can't do that with the cat around!
I really would like to try and make this work, so any advice you guys have would be greatly appreciated. I've always wanted a cat so will do anything to keep her, but fear I'm running out of options.
Please help!
