Anyone have any experience with having one indoor-only cat and one indoor-outdoor cat in the same household? As Ralph is a wobbly cat he's a bit vulnerable and we've been advised to keep him indoors. Saffron on the other hand can definitely look after herself, and it seems a bit cruel to keep her inside just for Ralph's sake. We've been keeping them both indoors since we got them 4 months ago with the plan to let Saff out in spring once the weather gets a bit better. I've put off thinking about the logistics until now as it really gives me a headache. Current thinking is that we get a microchip catflap and have it locked to 1 way so that Saff can only ask to be let outside, and get back in by herself, and Ralph won't be able to get out, but if he does manage to escape he can also get back in in an emergency. I think that should be simple enough but I do worry about Ralph squeezing outside when Saffron 'activates' the cat flap, and also have a feeling he's not going to be very happy watching his best mate run around outside while he's stuck indoors
