あなたの猫は室内飼いですか、それとも外で過ごす猫ですか?
猫が室内飼いであれば、2つの家で暮らすことが問題になる主な理由のいくつかは、すぐに解消されます。外に出る猫の場合は、起こり得る危険や混乱について考える必要があります。特に、定期的に場所を移されることは猫にとって方向感覚を失わせる可能性があり、家に戻る方法(そもそもどこを家と認識すればよいのか)を理解するのが難しくなる猫もいます。さらに、その地域に慣れていないほど交通事故のリスクも高まるため、猫が過ごす屋外環境はできるだけ少なくすべきだという考え方もあります。もちろん、2つの家で暮らさせる予定なら、外に出る猫を室内飼いに移行させることも検討できますが、すべての猫がこの変化に満足できるわけではありません。
あなたの猫はどんな性格ですか?
あなたの猫は移動にどのように反応しますか?
移動も、2つの家で暮らすうえで重要な要素です。たとえ猫が落ち着いた室内飼いの猫であっても、車が大嫌いならこの取り決めは現実的ではなくなります。移動中に猫が大声で鳴き叫ぶ場合、毛むくじゃらの家族にこの経験を定期的に我慢させるのは公平ではないかもしれません。しかし、猫が車での移動を楽しいと感じる、あるいはただ退屈だと感じる程度であれば、2つの家を行き来することは大した問題ではないと考えられます。愛猫が車をどう思っているかわからない場合は、試しに短いドライブをして反応を確認してみましょう。
猫の気質や変化への対応力を考慮すれば、みんなに合った生活の取り決めを整えられるはずです!

I have a situation where someone has moved in next door with a beautiful playful, friendly but young cat. She is 4. She is very small and I thought she was a kitten when she first came. I live in a shared house with 6 housemates and it is a no pets rental. Although the landlord doesn't mind, some of the others have complained that she is so persistent with getting in the door that it is really quite a pain with having her come here.
I am very attached to her and for the past month have enjoyed so much habing her here.
We didn't know who she belonged to at first but I found out she lives next door and the owner seems quite happy for her to come during the day whole she is at work as long as she's back by 5pm.
I don't know what to do.
Pixy sometimes gets stuck in my room for hrs and I think she's finding the whole experience stressful.
The reason she comes is she is a very social cat and she has a brother cat at home the bullies her.
She just want's somewhere quiet to sleep, wash and be loved.
And that is what I want too so haha we get on very well.
I am just concerned this cannot go on forever and I don't want anyone to fall out and I don't want pixy's health to be effected.
What should I do? She is so persistent. Maybe I should just pull the plug and refuse to let her in before things get really bad?
I'm so soft tho and I just give in and let her in. She is too cute!!
Hello Harriet please can you update us on how it went with pixey? Also you seem like a lovely girl can I have your phone number? Thanks 🙂
