[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boy cat is neutered and he is 3 years old. He and his sister (my girl cat) sit by the window on their cat tree and feel pretty happy. We have many windows from where they can watch outside. I also have lots of toys for them. The boy cat plays a lot like a kitten. But no matter how well he is entertained, he wants to go out. He meows and yowls by the door. When I come home, he escapes through the gap and runs away. When I try to bring him back, he runs away further. He wants to be outside. I feel sad to bring him back in but I also don't want him to go out unsupervised. He walks on the leash for some time but wants to be on his own outside. What do I do? [/quote]

I let mine out a few times a week supervised. I mean supervised a crapshoot as they are cats and they can hop a fence in a second but if they go to the neighbor's front yard I go and get them (street?). 
Key to this is I let them out HUNGRY so after half hour or however long I can take of the lunacy I yell 'dinner' and they run in. And if they don't - no food. They learn.

Of course they live outside. It smells good, tastes good, there's stuff to climb, things to see, space to run. Of course they like out.[/quote]

We do kitty tv too. We open the screen door and put seed and nuts right outside the door. We get a million squirrels and birds out there.[/quote]
