moving house with a cat, am i being cruel??

I think the enclosures can have things to pounce off and climb to make it more fun. I know what you're saying though, hope you can find something to keep kitty happy

I don't think it's cruel to keep her indoors - you are ensuring she remains safe. We used to have our two cats in a tiny 2-bed unit and all they knew of the outdoors was what they could see from the windowsill - it's a bit of an adjustment to make if she's used to roaming free, but she *will* adjust to the new living arrangements If you're comfortable putting her in a harness for 'walks' outside, then go for it, she will learn to make do with what she has - just ensure that there is plenty of indoor stimulation (toys, scratching posts, a sunny spot near a window for basking) and she'll be okay
