Okay, I was living with somebody who had two cats and a dog (a Yorkie). I have been there a year. Shortly after moving in, one of the cats which is an indoor/outdoor cat fell in love with me. I am officially owned by this cat now, and he sleeps with me every night. He waits for me to come home, and he runs up to me with his happy tail whenever he sees me. Im smitten, and I am very attached to him now. He ignores everyone else but me. The other cat is mostly an outdoor cat, but I think these cats sense that the house is in transition and that we are moving. The outdoor cat has also decided he owns me, and frequently they are both waiting for me when I get home. The two cats are friends and they at one time lived indoors. But the outdoor cat is passive and the indoor cat is the Alpha. Both are boy cats and fixed.
This is my dilemma:
I need to make them both 100% indoor cats. I have ordered a big cat tree for them:
I am getting them a cat fountain and some cat grass, and I have done some research about how to make the outdoor cat transition back to indoors. My question is, how can I make this the least stressful for them, and will two cats be happy in a medium sized apartment where they cant go outside? Is this cruel? I have been told they will be just fine especially if I can create a fun indoor environment for them. Anybody got advice for me? One cat is about 8 years old, the other one is about 5 years old.
