My cats have a cat tree any the love it. Whenever my fat cat jumps up there he makes a loud thump

[@Kim-yt7mr]

What I was thinking

[@smorgasbroad2027]

Yes, a the screened in outdoor room (a.k.a. a "catio") is an excellent solution. You could even get a dog kennel, and push it against a window so that when you open the window she has access to the outdoors in the large dog kennel. Put all sorts of indoor outdoor cat furniture for her to play on and she will be a very happy cat. She can also visit with Pablo out there.

[@Desire4firez]

I had a really old outdoor kitty who'd been attacked by coyotes and raccoons over the years. Finally, she started to lose her hearing, so we kept her indoors. She adjusted well and lived to be a ripe 17 1/2 years old. Looks a little like your Lil! I bet she'll do great. I'm sure being in the crate this whole time will help her adjust well.

[@caseyleichter2309]

Terrific update! So glad to see Lil Housecat nee Barncat doing well. The hardest thing about making an outdoor cat an indoor cat is their loss of range. Happily, you seem to have a big sprawling house, so there will still be lots of territory for Lil to explore and claim. BTW - one reason Pablo hissed at Lil may be that she now smells strange to him from being indoors so long. Esp. if she was fresh back from the vet, and smelled of **Evil Place**.

[@Erina88888]

I love how Allison calls her Lilian. Such a mom move.

[@KristenRowenPliske]

Glad she’s better! A cat tree is a good idea! Also a scratching post! The toys will help. An another note, when I got married, I brought my cat with me; she’d been an in/out cat for the first 4-5 years. But I didn’t want to chance her running off & getting lost or hit by a cat so she became an indoor cat. We screened off the balcony so she could sit out on the porch. Later, she had another cat to keep her company. She was 18years old when she died. So love her & give her things to occupy herself with & she could live a very long time.

[@GlenaGarrett]

And don't get freaked out if she sits and stares intently at the closet door, a spot on the wall or the corner up at the ceiling. They do that. It's unnerving as heck. Then when you notice what they're doing, they'll saunter off or start cleaning a paw, like "What, I wasn't looking at anything".

[@paulinelarson465]

When we take crated animals in vehicles we run the seatbelt around the crate and through the handle, to keep everything from sliding around.

Yay, Lil' house cat! Two things we've learned from our cats that you need to watch out for: Lil may charge the doors when you go in and outside. She may get out without y'all realizing it, like when you are carrying something like a big bag of garbage, groceries or a laundry basket. Another thing is that whenever you open a closet or cabinet door, they are really quiet, fast and sneaky about running in there and getting trapped. Before we leave the house for several hours, we always do a "kitty count" to make sure that we know where they both are.

[@edemstories5956]

Even my current cat who has never been a outdoor cat since the day of his birth, still bolts out doors occasionally. Though he usually panics and runs right back in.

[@2manyroberts]

Oh yes, I forgot about the danger of Dryers, never leave the door to your dryer open with Clean clothes in it( cause you're in a hurry for one thing) cats are always willing to find a new cozy place...cautionary tale, one day "Tarzan" was napping in the dryer, black cat amongst Dark clothes, I came in and slammed the door shut to freshen up the clothes forgotten in the dryer to wrinkle release; flipped the switch on and almost didn't have time to think twice about the Bump, Thump, Thump as I was running to get in the shower; and I said whoa! Something's in the Dryer. Never dreamed when I ran back and opened the Door, there'd be a dazed cat! Thankfully he was unhurt, but that COULD have been, soooo BAD! He would've died but I would've been emotionally damaged forever!

I suspect Lil might have something to say about your plan, actions speak louder than words. A little late now but a tip for others to get around that reluctance with travel boxes is to use it as a bed when young or injured. My mum did a lot of cat rescue and she would put the travel box inside the nursing pen/crate to desensitise kittens to it and condition them to regarding it as a place of safety and comfort.

Glad you're keeping Lil inside! I'm sure she'll have a long and happy life indoors (indoor cats have much longer lifespan than outdoor or even indoor-outdoor!). Just a couple enrichment considerations so she doesn't get too bored: vertical enrichment of some type - whether it be a cat tree or just some ramps to go up and down, and some sort of 'catio' or way to be outside without being free to roam (leash-training will also work, but it's a lot more commitment and requires a lot of positive reinforcement to get them to enjoy it, so most people just go with a catio if they can)

[@thisisagoldengranny]

Oh it is so wonderful to see her being herself again. Next on your list a catio (Cat Patio). It would give her some outdoor time and help her still feel like she gets outside just to see things. It doesn't have to be big, just run with a walk up to a perch where she can see more of what is going on and be safe. Just a suggestion for sometime in the future. Maybe everyone will have a chance to sit back and watch Lil Barn/indoor be some outdoor entertainment too.

[@13MoonsOverMayhem]

Its awesome to see Lil adjusting and see all of you so happy. BTW, I recommend trying out pine pellet horse stall bedding as kitty litter instead of the clay litters. Its quite a lot cheaper, only $4-$7 for a 40 lb. bag, its much, much less dusty, very absorbent, and it handles odors so much better. Its also available at feed stores, typically. It starts as hard pellets, but as soon as it gets wet, it turns fluffy. I use it in the kitty litter boxes, and also in the chicken coop.

[@EasterWitch]

Important: If you want to play with a laser with your cat, remember to end with a toy the cat can catch, otherwise it will just be frustrating.

[@_Zinatrix_]

If you read this i want you to know that lil will never be as happy of a cat indoors as she would be outdoors. How do i know? I grew up with cats all my life and at some point my cat got run over and suffered similar injuries like lil. We took her to the vet and she survived but we had to put her down after a couple of weeks because she didnt recover to a life worth living. After a while we got a new Cat and kept her indoors because we couldnt loose another cat to the road. We even built him a little coop outside in a similar way birds are held and connected it right where the cat-door was so he could go in and out to the „coop“ when he wanted. So after a year we noticed that he was despite all love given outside on the highest platform in the coop most of the time and containing him was a nightmare. One day he got out the back door but instead of running like he usually did he laid down on the sun-warmed stones in our backyard and simply enjoyed the warmth of the sun and range of our garden. Thats when we realized We were happy with him inside but for him it was like being in prison. So we let him out freely. 12 years later he is still doing his nightly patrols around the house and couldnt be a happier cat. Our other cat we got him as company after about another year because keeping cats alone is never good for them, turned out to be a full-time house cat. Despite being able to go outside she rather spends the time snuggling and watching people inside. She too is as happy as she could be . Pls let her enjoy nature. If you let her decide and maybe even build a cat-door she will be the happiest little furball you can imagine and it doesnt stop them from cuddling and keeping you company i can assure you that. All the best Lars

Litter box advice. The clay litter makes a dusty mess and tracks everywhere. I used it for years until discovering alternative litters. I recommend pine pellet litter. It doesn't clump but it's easy to clean and isn't nearly as messy. You can transition a cat to new litter by mixing it in with the clay a bit at a time and just adding her poop to the final all pellet stage. Another advantage, pine pellet horse stall filler is the same stuff as cat box litter but you can buy huge bags for a tiny fraction of the price of a small bag of cat litter.

[@bboyzgram]

Totally agree! Approximately $7.00 for a 40 lb bag at Tractor Supply. With 1 cat, this bag lasts about 6 months. It is clean, biodegradable and my Khloe had no problem converting over to this "littler".

So happy for you, (Allison too) and Lil! You can make all kinds of FUN cat houses for her from old furniture, and a little creativity; that way she'll have her own Hidey Holes! And you'll enjoy thinking up clever uses, one of my faves' is the decorative trunk/chest which has a hidden entrance, or at least inconspicuous in room placement, and looks like great decor, worthy of your family room, then you fill it with cat fancies to keep her busy, when she ducks in to hide when you have strangers or guests, and she's still able to be around everyone, but you might not know shes' there....shhhhh.

Hi Morgan, I was just wondering why Lil has to now live in the house, couldn't she still be a Barn cat, she still has Eight lives left. Love from the UK.

[@Palitato]

The vet told them she needs to be indoors. Due to the pelvic break and the corrections they had to do to make it heal, she can't move her back legs like she used to. She would be much more likely to get stuck in a tree somewhere and be trapped, or hurt herself badly trying to jump down from somewhere up high like she used to. If predators saw her limping at all as well, she would be a target for them to go after.

[@tacothecat1604]

To add on to the other comment, if they lived in a more suburban area or an area with less predators, she probably would be able to return outside at least during the day, but considering the amount of large predators on/near their rural property, it would not be safe for her even during the day. They get things like bears, coyotes, mountain lions, and hawks, all which can seriously mess up a cat especially if it has limited mobility. :(

I love your videos. Just a response to your previous video. Don’t listen to the trolls who have nothing better to do than dictate how you should run your farm. Let them try it and see how easy it isn’t.

god I'm so happy I've tears in my eyes. I cried when she was first hit and have been rooting for her, I hope your allergies aren't too bad and the special diet helps.

Ahh, the ending to this video--so cute!! Loved it! Yes, I watched the WHOLE thing!

She looks great. Good vets and your care. Glad she's indoor.

So great to see her doing so well! You guys did an amazing job taking great care with her. She is going to do just fine. We had an outdoor kitty in MT that got hit by a car or grabbed by a hawk, not sure but he lost his arm and bounced back like a tiger. His name was Mr Freckle for the white dot on his chest. He lived for 13 amazing wonderful years traveling all over the world with us. He was the best cat ever.

Omg bless you for loving Lil barn cat!! I had a cat that Never went outside and she lived for 21 years. Gingerbread was a wonderful and happy cat. She just needs access to a bed in front of windows for cat TV.

She will love your warm fire place in the winter. I think she will do fine. You two are the best cat owners I know!

Lil’ is very lucky to have y’all! She is moving so well. She is obviously very sweet; my old grumpy cat would have sent me to the vet if I tried to give him a bath !!!

[@margaretbedwell58]

I think Lil is adjusting just fine. She seems to enjoy the toys, is being playful on her own and with you and the lazer light. Even though she can see outdoors, she doesn't seem to be clawing at the screen window to be let out. All good signs I think. Good luck to all of you. Have a Blessed day.

Little Barn cat is one happy kitty! She is no way depressed. You're doing a great job!
