My kitten is now 25 weeks old and the vet advised i keep him in for the first year. He is naturally inquizative (nosey) and sits at the window crying to go out. We put up with it until he was "done" and then started taking him out on the harness. He good but wants to roam more so i added string to the lead so he could get further away from me.

We decided last sunday that he would open the back door and see what he did. He was off like a shot down the garden to say hello to the rabbits then sniffed about. After about 10 minutes he legged it down the side of the shed and through the hole in the wire fence. I was gutted. My boyfriend said i was pale! He came back after about 30 minutes soaked and muddy. We back onto houses and fields.

I let him out in the morning when i go to feed my rabbits and let him roam about then bring him in to feed and then he stays in all day. I then let him out again when i get home.
