I guess it depends on the cat really. 5 of mine dont hunt which makes them happy being confined to the garden, where as Harry is clearly not happy as he is a hunter, no taking that out of him, so he shows he's not happy by getting himself out

Mark · « **Reply #44 on:** January 26, 2010, 17:55:02 PM »

I def shows that people with catproofed gardens and their cats live a happy, guilt-free life

I'm not being facetious Tina - I am trying to get my head around an Ethogram for my own study tomorrow - maybe you could give me some pointers

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #43 on:** January 26, 2010, 17:49:33 PM »

I must be a strange one as I fall into those 2 groups- 5 I do not let roam the streets and they are kept in a secure garden with no chance of escape- Harry on the other hand knows how to escape and does quite often, although I dont seem to mind with him as I feel his natural cat behaviour would be compromised and he would be less happy kept in the garden 24/7

So I really feel its down to the cat in question and how you think it would affect them

Harry has not been out for a while now, too cold for him

, but he is learning to be a good boy in the house

Usually he beats everyone up if he cant get out

Thanks for posting that, very interesting

Now please can you do one about why fur gets onto every surface at the wrong moments

My shirt has just aquired a mass of fur and can only think its when I last picked Franta up to allow myself to sit in my puter chair

And have you also noticed that that cats have a sort of "chameleon" ability to shed light fur onto dark clothes, but also manage to shed dark hair onto light clothes? Even all-black Mr T can achieve this somehow

and the conclusion in brief

some more

tinaborgen · « **Reply #37 on:** January 26, 2010, 16:08:28 PM »

hey

sorry about the time it took me to update been completely manic here with so much work finished last thing at midnight...

got my cat assignment done and already got it back as well and got 62% which is a good mark i think

the stats failed me a little!!! hate stats. but hey i thought i upload the results for you to have a look at basically looking at the difference between owners with cat flaps and indoor only cats and if we can see some cognitive dissonance (conflicting beliefs/thoughts) about they way that they manage their cats

tinaborgen · « **Reply #36 on:** December 14, 2009, 18:06:54 PM »

what a shame, narrowing this down now as we are really looking for specific data and got a lot of data that we were to exclude but still very usefull so i will see if i can use all the data i got still but def need to fill the categories we wanted initially :D hope there are some people out there

tina

Millys Mum · « **Reply #35 on:** December 14, 2009, 10:43:04 AM »

I fit neither of those catergories

tinaborgen · « **Reply #34 on:** December 13, 2009, 21:59:03 PM »

hey everybody

are there anybody else who have not completed the questionnaire who would be willing to help me?

just put all of the info on spreadsheet (took aaaages) not looking forward to the statistics but will look forward to what i find

i need 9 more people with indoor only cats with 3 cats or less
and 12 more with outdoor cat via a cat flap again with 3 cats or less

all healthy cats (well no diseases so have to stay in)

and once i get those last ones i can finally do the stats.

tricky getting all the info needed indeed.

hope i dont have to use my class mates data, so hope there are more of you out there

let me know by sending an email to tinaborgen@yahoo.co.uk

again thank you so much

tina

tinaborgen · « **Reply #31 on:** December 12, 2009, 14:14:01 PM »

.... need more people in the unrestricted access group

That'll be our lot then

Have emailed you.

tinaborgen · « **Reply #22 on:** December 08, 2009, 23:08:55 PM »

thanks gill hope it all went well with the auction :D

and thus i thought i would update the thread and ask again

and then we shall see what we can get

thank you though take your time, seems we got an extension on the report as a lot of people have found it hard to get responses back, so time is no issue anymore :D woohooo hehe

tinaborgen · « **Reply #21 on:** December 08, 2009, 23:06:55 PM »

quite possibly :D they have done lots of studies

http://www.lincoln.ac.uk/dbs/staff/2203.asp this is the cat woman at uni, her enrichment report is quite nice. got that on my computer if to any interest.

as for the spraying one its quite likely that my tutor daniel mills wrote that report :D

tina

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #20 on:** December 08, 2009, 23:00:51 PM »

Sorry as I said the auction has been on until yesterday so we have been busy.....I have the questionnaire and fall into the latter category and will let you have it back asap.

sheryl · « **Reply #19 on:** December 08, 2009, 22:56:16 PM »

I have got 5 indoor (large secure cat run they use when weather is nice) and 1 outdoor (a stray who adopted us) you can Email me the questionaire at sherak@tiscali.co.uk

Wasnt it Lincoln uni that was carrying out a study on cats that spray?

tinaborgen · « **Reply #18 on:** December 08, 2009, 22:48:28 PM »

thank you to everybody so far :D

still lacking some people to start analyse need twice the amount got now :s eeeek hoping i dont have to use my classmates data as rather show that could find people myself and use own data

looks so much better hehe.

help appreciated

Tina

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #17 on:** December 06, 2009, 22:47:34 PM »

I'd like to fill it in pls,

Bazsmum · « **Reply #16 on:** December 06, 2009, 17:20:42 PM »

A lot of peeps on here have cat proofed gardens also.....Like me!

So for this mine have been put in the category of "indoor only"

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #15 on:** December 06, 2009, 00:23:22 AM »

mine will be back tomorrow

tinaborgen · « **Reply #14 on:** December 05, 2009, 23:50:39 PM »

have indeed all saved to my computer ready to be analysed once i get all the people i need

think be a little struggle as seems most people either have indoor only, or let cat out when pleases the owner (which is what i have done too in past

) but need more people in the unrestricted access group hmm, think that will be more of a struggle. got some today tho so thats great

thank you everybody

cant wait to see what data i can pull

Bazsmum · « **Reply #13 on:** December 05, 2009, 22:55:06 PM »
