You're right there, I've been toying with the idea of doing that for a few weeks now. In a way I know it would be better safety wise, but she's been allowed outside her whole life and in the summer months she spends most of her time outside, she's not used to being shut in permanently and she just sits at the catflap all day and meows non-stop.

I know I could open the door for her in the morning or something, but I'd feel terrible if I went out and she couldn't get back in.

Still, I might have to do it in the end. Thanks
