I'm at the end of my rope, /an/. Pic related is my cat, who my wife and I rescued about a year ago. He's playful, moderately affectionate and fairly well behaved. However, he absolutely refuses to be an indoor cat. If we try to keep him inside, he meows incessantly until we let him out.
Recently, the apartment complex we live at changed their rules to forbid outside cats. They've already called the local pound to round up some of the cats in the area. To make matters worse, we live next to a field where he is getting ticks on his fur and bringing them inside. Lastly, he is not a fighting cat, which has resulted in him getting beat up by other cats in the neighborhood.
All of these factors have left us with two options: Find him a new home, which I really, really don't want to do -OR- find a way to get him satisfied with indoor life. We have lots of toys, a cat tree and another cat, yet despite all of this he still seems to want out all the time.
Is there anything I can do to groom him into being an indoor cat? I'm very attached to him, we saved him from the brink of death and it's my pride and joy to see him recover and grow. I don't want to find him a new home, but it's rapidly becoming our only option.
What can I do?
