We're buying a house in the country this summer, and it's going to be an adjustment for Toby.

Toby's about 5 years old, and he's and indoor/outdoor cat. He only goes potty outside.

We got him from the shelter when he was a little kitten, and this has been his only home since then.

The house we're moving to is on 20 acres, with a lot of wilflife. There is a very elderly couple who will continue to live on our land until they pass away, and they have two outdoor dogs (a big shepherd mix and a little spaniel) who run free all the time. I don't know how the dogs are around cats.

Do you have any suggestions to help Toby to adjust to his new environment, and stay safe from the dogs, wolves, coyotes and bears?

There isn't a cat door, and I really don't know where we'd put one. I'm thinking of taking a screen off of one of the first floor windows and leaving it open just enough for Toby to get in and out. Hopefully, he'll have the wits to stay near the window, so that if he sees the dogs coming he can dash inside really fast.

Toby will sincerely appreciate any help you can give us!
