we tried making Fuzzy a house cat when we firt got him, but he was 6 years old and hated staying in, he would just sare outside and meow at the door and wouldent use his litter box, so one day we let him out and he came back about an hour later for food, my cat does his buisneaa (poop) in our yard under our fron window thingy, it is ok, is itnt in anyones way or anything. He pees all over his naibourhood because he likes to mark his territory, he is neutered. My cat loves us and we love him just the same as anyone here loves there inside cats, I personally think it is crule to keep a cat inside when it has been an outside cat all its life. JMHO..
