Letting a cat out

Pixie keeps trying to get out of the balcony door, is it ok to let her out now?
She is now spayed and hasn't had any problems post operation.

Yes, if that's what you want. EDIT: how old is she? - I'd make sure she is nearer 9 months if you can

She's over a year old :-) we took her in when she was pregnant as she took a liking to my other cat Lola, both Lola and Salem are indoor cats.

If you want her to go out then she is okay to do so.

I don't want to but because she was outdoor for so long before we took her in, it's what she is used to..can a previously outdoor cat become an indoor cat?

Many people have taken in /rehomed cats that were previously outdoor cats and have very successfully kept them as indoor cats.A very well known ex forum member who works in cat rescue had great success with this.If you are keeping your other two cats as indoor cats it makes sense to at least try to keep her in as well.It could prove problematic with your two indoor cats,having one that goes out.

if you want her in - then keep her in - or get a run etc. She will be safer.

my two very definitely sh*t in MY garden - I've watched them do it. Too lazy to hop the fence into the garden next door where no-one lives!

None of mine c**p in people's garden's either, Pixie hasn't been out in several weeks but because she kept miaowing at the balcony door and scratching it, I wasn't sure whether it was best to let her out, however since my other cat's are indoor, Pixie will be too.
