Sigh. It is hard for me not to just let him out. He seems all right about being indoors now after over an hour of moaning and moping near the doors. I probably didn’t help by going outside myself and leaving him indoors. Around about sunset was his favorite time for going out. I like to be out then too.
I wish he could be an outdoor cat but he gets beaten up. Unfortunately, you cannot reason with a cat:
“I’ll let you out if you promise to stay away from the nasty cat that clawed you last month and back in November.”
Yeah, right. He is a CAT.
I personally think he wants to get out and show that other cat who is boss. Or try to do so at least. He is a Murphy with a (thwarted) mission.
There is no reasoning with a cat however. I tell Oscar all sorts of stuff, but it isn’t like he really gets any of it. I just feel better for having explained. LOL

Murphy’s thwarted mission is precisely why I can’t let him outside. Thanks for reminding me.
Yeah, I feel better telling him why he can’t go out. It just does not stop his mewing at the doors though.

[...] I’ve shown you pictures of Murphy frantically trying to get outside. Today, the true picture emerges. As the photo above [...]
