I had the idea to get a good sized dog crate so we can use it to put Jonesey the cat outside and he'd be able to get a taste of the outdoors but he wouldn't be able to run away or get lost. What do you think? Would he love it or would it just make him psychotic?

Why not just tie a bungy cord to his tail?

actually bungy chord to collar not bad idea. not so different from those runs they do for dogs.

the folks turned the kid cubby house into the cat night time house, seems happy enough to go there to bed every night, locked in (it's ostensibly to protect the wildlife, but truthfully the possums are bigger and have bigger claws!) But it's a pretty biggish room, and they trained it up from kitten hood to accept...

Why not buy a cat net or make a bigger area "cat-safe"? Porto loves the big garden (and the one of the neighbours) in Germany

Slinks, has Jonesy seemed curious about the outside?

Does he know it exists?

Seriously!

The Truman Show for cats.

I think it would make him want to go exploring and he'd end up with no skin left on his paws. Too confined; keep him in or build him an enclosure.

Show him a DVD of the garden first

i agree with Kooky - to my mind, being in the garden but in a crate he'd either be terrified of being outside, or get a taste of it and be constantly hankering to get out ...

He's taken to sitting on the dresser and looking out the window at the birds all while doing some squeaking and squawking He also bolts out the front door from time to time if he can beat you before you close it

Overall, I think he's generally pretty content with his life - some of you saw the photo on facebook the other day, right?
