    My little guy spent some time homeless before being dropped off at the SPCA shelter. Was there for a month before I adopted him. Every time I open my door, he stares outside, then looks up at me, rubs himself on my legs, then walks over to his food dish.

      My cat was a stray too. She has zero desire to go outside. I was holding her once when I opened the backdoor to let the dog out. She must have thought I was taking her outside and flipped out. Scratched the crap out of my neck as she climb over top of me and bolted into the other room.

      I had one with a similar story, he taught the rest of my cats that inside is better, and that’s even been passed on to the newest cats even tho he’s not around anymore. Nobody wants to go outside, even on leash.
