does refurb not go outside

sorry i live in sunny uk so rabies and coyotes are not a problem so cats can run around backgardens and up trees and stuff which i assume keeps their claws in check

i live in the city, cats are allergic to cars

If I don't trim refurb's front claws every 2 weeks she will play-swipe at me sometime and make me bleed

at least she doesn't care about nail clipping. "you call those clippers? shoulda seen the ones the guy who did my right leg had."

gizmo scratched her ear so bad yesterday with her back paw i think i need to get her a cone of shame so it can heal :o:

so I want a cat and I'm going to be moving to a place soon where I could have one and it's got a balcony with round metal rails. safe to let cat out on balcony as is or is there a risk that cat would jump up and then fall off? obviously cats have good balance and all that but it seems dangerous.

cats have good balance but are also sometimes over confident and or dumb

and anything that is within jump height is a target to be jumped on

jump height is pretty much any ledge that can be seen

You could try it supervised and see how the cat seems?
Also congrats!

as someone who lived in a third floor condo for a bit cats are actually dumb as hell and will certainly eventually fall off. we did our best to keep an eye on them but we still had three falls in four years. no injuries, just scared cats sitting in the grass freaked out of their minds




cats are pretty much the embodiment of hubris

it's 6th floor so that's the fall i'd be worried about. also of course cat not being able to get back in and maybe me not noticing right away etc.

sounds like it might be best to either not let it out there or rig up some netting or something to keep it off the railing.

my neighbors did this and it worked great. they put one of these up from the top of the balcony to a foot or so below the top of the railing, then on the inside of the railing they put in some plastic mesh fencing to keep the kitties from sneaking between the bars. cats loved it.

there's really no substantiation as to the correlation and linkage of steps 3 and 4, you can safely limit yourself to repeating 1 and 2 over and over.
