Yes she will eventually forget. Akira has switched between all the various options in the past few years. Cleo has always been an indoor cat with this one exception.

The most significant change was when i sent her to my parents in Saskatchewan this summer. They went form indoor cats to outdoor cats back to indoor.

My mom is allergic so they lived in a garage at our rental house 3 doors down. After a couple of weeks they opened the door so they could come and go as they pleased.

They loved it.

When My parents brought them back to me they had to stay inside. I was given the cold shoulder especially from Akira. Partially because she was mad about being inside and partially because she hadn't seen me in 4 months.

She got over it and dosn't even try te escape. I think I'll send them again next summer
