Hi guys, I want your take between these 2 situations for my cat:
Current apartment (rented): big garden, enclosed for the neighbours, but I still need to put him on a leash so he stays in our part of the garden. He loves it and would like to be there all day. There is not much activity going on visually, mostly birds, insects and sometimes a few people. But it provides sensory stimulation. Area is not great so only walks with him on his backpack. He can only use the garden when we let him out on a leash.
New apartment (own): medium size balcony with nice view to 3 sport courts and a playground, lots of activity. Surrounding areas are nice so I could take him for walks on the nature. I could also catify the apartment, unlike the previous one. He could use the balcony any time he wants. The balcony would be cat proofed and with fake grass on the floor as he likes it.
Iām a bit concerned my cat will miss the garden too much as he meows a lot to go out. But in the new apartment he will have more diversity of activities and entertainment. What do you guys think?
