Hello everyone,
tldr: took my indoor cat to the country side for a few days where he had a blast. Went back to the city and being indoors and he's back to being indifferent to everything. Can't move places for financial reasons. Don't know where to go from here.
Long version:
My 6yo cat is an indoor cat exclusively. We live in an 60sqm apatrment with a balcony. He's become a chill cat after his catodelescence. Hard to play with, hard to motivate, he barely hunts and God knows I've tried (different toys, toy rotation, he doesn't respond to catnip, he's not food motivated...) but every once in a while a lizard or butterfly cat his fancy and he's on.
Anyway, I went on a "tech detox" long weekend to an airbnb in the middle of (literally) nowhere. He's harness trained but he's also anxious so I usually just go with walks in the building halls or put him in a backpack and just go out. This time, given the context, I decided to try and explore the property with him and I discovered a new facet of my cat. He was curious, energetic and just lively (still fearful though but lively). He ran, he hunted, he watched from the windows etc.
We've been (sadly) back for a few days now. When we got back he didn't leave his backpack (which he loves so much he sleeps in) for the rest of the day. Yesterday and today he got out a big but we went back to "nothing interests me".
I feel guilty. I'm glad he managed to have that experience, but I can't leave my apt. I'm in a rent controlled apt so if I want to move to a house or apt with a garden for the same rent it'll be over 1H30 away from the city I live in. Financially it's just not possible with the housing crisis in Europe & living in a major city.
We have afew parcs around the house but at the airbnb he knew he can get back into the house easily if he got scared (which he did once or twice). In a parc it won't be possible & I don't want to take that risk of him getting out of his harness in a public parc.
I don't have friends who have gardens.
I don't know where to go from here...
