∙ 13y agoThere is no sure answer to that. You cannot "make" a cat go outside if it does not want to. Many cats live happily indoors all their lives, as long as they have plenty of toys, playtime and affection with their owners or other cats living in the household.
Please make sure the cat is fully vaccinated/wormed/fleaed, is fully adult (a little kitten will not survive an attack from a full Tom cat, fox or coyote), neutered/spayed for at least eight weeks before letting your pet outside.
However, if your cat wants to go outside, and the outside environment is safe enough (no busy roads, no larger animals or humans that could harm a cat, no unneutered cats wandering around, etc.), then you can start letting your cat out in short bursts.
Let the cat in your backyard for a few minutes, and gradually increase the time as the cat gets bolder. It is recommended that you keep the cat on a harness at first. Play with your cat outside, and let them explore at their leisure. When you do let your cat outside for the first time, it is best to do so in the morning before the cat is fed, so they will come back to the house. Even better is to train your cat to come back at the sound of a noise that the cat will associate with food: Rattling a biscuit box, banging a can or feeding bowl. Even scattering used cat litter around the outside of the house allows the cat to "smell" its way home if it wanders quite far.
Giving a cat a sheltered place to hide in the backyard is also a good idea, or better yet install a cat flap so the cat can enter the house as it pleases.

∙ 15y agoWhy would you want your cat to go outside? More cats get run over outside than inside your house. Get a litter box and let the poor thing stay safe!

How do you stop cats from going into your roof and onto the ceiling of your house if every possible hole is covered?
cats are very curions animals and there a few ways to keep them from getting on the roof. you can get a fly swater and swat your cat every time he/she get's on the roof. if that does not work then you should find something that the cat is afraid of and put it on the roof. FOR EXAMPLE: if your cat is afraid of the color orange then you should put an orange colored paper on the roof so then your cat would be to afraid to go back up and do whatever. Cats can only get in through outside holes. The other possibility is you already had a cat (possibly kittens) in your ceiling when you boarded the holes up. I suggest you get up in the attic and see what is going on. Good luck

How carrier look like?
A cat carrier is a compartment with a handle. It usually has a door with bars running vertically. To keep it closed, it usually has a small lock or lever to open. You should put a small blanket in the carrier when the cat is inside. Cats may be afraid of the carrier after a few appearances because they link the carrier to the notion that they will be going to the vet.

He'll climb a tree if he is afraid enough, or you can put in a cat door so he can run into the house or the garage. Cats have good skills for staying alive. I'm sure your cat is fine. Claws and teeth, eh? But, if you're *really* concerned, I guess you could leave your cat inside at night or something? o_O
