My precious baby girl Hotlips Houlihan
it appears i have caught him in the middle of something important
This is Nebu, my gorgeous pirate kitty who I rescued from Egypt. The charity I rescued her from strictly told me she is to be an indoor cat (or escape proof catio). She is the most amazing curious and funny cat l've ever met and as time went on, she didn't seem too fussed about going outside (I imagine she associates the outdoors with terror and losing her eye). I try my hardest to play with her often, and give her all the toys she could imagine and she is rarely ever home alone (family works from home).
Nevertheless, the guilt of keeping her indoors and denying her the whole "cat experience" is eating me up alive. I've started losing sleep over this and dreaming about her frolicking around outdoors. That being said, the anxiety of having a partially sighted cat outdoors (even in the rural area I live in) is also a massive contributor. She not only has one eye, but the eye she does have has some massive corneal scarring. I want her to live a happy and free life and I feel like her captor (even though she seems fine with it).
I have tried putting her in a harness but her slightly feral self won't have it. I've decided to try again once it's spring again.
I just don't know what to do, hence this weird autobiographical rant. Does anyone else feel the same?
P.s. please don't comment just to tell me what an awful selfish person I am for keeping her indoors. Don't you worry, l've thought and told myself far worse than that.
Salem is a good boy who was originally feral, until he got into multiple cat/opossum fights and then got hit by a car. After multiple vet visits and bills, he lost his outside privileges.
My little girl lost sight in both eyes within 2 months and had high pressure causing pain in one.
