to build a window box for him. I have had cats that simply wanted to be able to sniff the air, sun bathe and keep a cat's eye on it all. One, Geneva was her name, changed almost overnight when we put in a strongly built and screened in window box. She just sat there and meowed at birds and squirrels. She stopped several bad behaviors when we did this for her. A suggestion. Many plans online for good and sturdy designs. Making a box with a small door on the indoor side allows you to shut him/her in when you go to the door. They don't seem to mind it anymore than sitting in a travel container. Good luck.
