How do I retrain my eight-year-old neutered cat to stay home?

By mike | March 13, 2010

  • He wants to live in woods and at the closest neighbors', a half mile away. They have a pretty young female, also neutered, and when their Tom died, mine started hanging around, coming home every three or four days, for an hour. We have a cat door, and two other cats (also neutered male,) They have all lived happily together for years. Now when I keep the cat in, he cries constantly.


  • He is complaining because he's used to going outside. My cats did the same thing when my husband used to let them go outside and then we made them stay inside. My neutered boy cat was the worst and he was always crying at the door, but I know he was just being a brat and I didn't give in lol. It's in your best interest and the cat's best interest to keep him inside, so give him lots of attention and take good care of him and he will be okay and eventually he won't complain so much.


  • Females: spayed, it would be scary of the female was neutered.

    When we mvoed we turned our cats from being indoor and outdoor to just indoor because of the coyotes. Our two new kittens, one of them, Charlie begs to get out but we don't let him. I'm guessing he's used to going out. What you should do is keep him in for a few days then let him out and next time he comes back brin him back in....


  • try new food and some treats and play with him as much as you can


  • I agree with jungleen and icecream! Lots of attention and he'll settle down soon enough. He's been neutered so will eventually lose the urge to roam as his hormones gradually die down. It's about being firm but fair. I have two 14 month old females and they've never been out so they're not a problem and show interest in going out either. He will settle, it just takes a little time.
