Bonnie,
As I have already mentioned to Barbara on Tuesday
12-14th and Belinda on Wednesday 12-15th, Dartagnan
has been a indoor kitty all of his life and would
never survive outside. Besides, it is 20 degrees here
in Southern Indiana and I seriously doubt he would
make it through the harsh weather elements.
The garage is out of the question too as it has been
converted a "living space" according to my insurance
policy and it provides additional space for the other
kids.
Separating Dartagnan to his own room is not an
option. With twelve (12) indoor kitties they need
access to every room for ample living space. Besides,
by closing him off, will close off some of the litter
boxes and that only escalates the problem.
For now, his is confined to his own "Kennel Crate" in
the living room.
Currently, he is separated from all household
furnishing by being quarantined to a "Kennel Crate."
It is a metal "large dog" style one (1) that is big
enough for him and a litter box. I have a sheet draped
over the back of it to prevent him from spraying in
between the bars and aiming for the walls.
At this point in time, he eats, sleeps and potties
there. I keep the Kennel as clean as I do the litter
boxes, but what a way to live! Literally confined to a
box!

Well, like Fu, how about Dartagnan having his own
room (i.e. solitary confinement)? Fu seems to prefer
not having other cats in sight.
