No restrictions that I'm aware of although there is a report from Belgium of a cat catching the virus from it's owner.

Good luck keeping a normal outdoor cat cooped up inside, especially if not trained to use a dirt box!

Our cat is far from 'normal' and all but allergic to outdoors!

You’re going to end up with a very bad tempered and stressed pet if you attempt to keep a healthy cat inside who is used to going out; expect shredded furniture, curtains etc. A couple of days, maybe, other than that, I would let them get on with it.

Hi thank you for your Reply .. She really has been more of a house cat since we rescued her at a few weeks old. And she isn't one to roam only in our garden and the garden next door , so I'm thinking maybe she could go out just wondered if people were keeping there cats in as I must admit l have not seen any cats around which seemed strange . But again thank you for your reply .
