[Hemera]

I love my cat very much. I've only had her for a few months as she belonged to my now deceased mum.

My mum only had her for two years as she was rescued from a bad home and has a lot of trauma. Despite that she's come far and I'm very proud of her.

She is probably around 11 or 12 years.

The problem is she wants to be out at night. I can't have a flap fitted for many reasons. I work from home so I can open the door for her in the day, but when she wants to go out for 3 or 4 hours during the night it's very disruptive and I'm shattered all day.

She meows non stop until I open the darn door!

I know I'm too soft but I live in a flat and I don't wan to shut her in the lounge due to her trauma.

Any tips from cat lovers?
