I need some help. My cat is an 8 month old male and is the most un-chilled out cat in the world - he bounds all over the house and has far too much energy to be staying indoors. However, as soon as we put him out, he cries to come back in; then starts trashing the house again.

How can I get him to stay outside, I thought he'd love the freedom of being outdoors, but he seems to hate it - its really stressing us out because he is such a violent cat and blatently needs to be outside, but he just wont go.

Can someone please help?
