Answer

You will have your work cut out for you, but you can do this and it will be so much better for your boy when you do. The easiest way to break his habit of begging to go out is to simply keep a water bottle or squirt gun close by and when he cries to go out, give him a squirt with the water. Try not to let him see that you are doing it. He needs to associate the negative feeling with what he wants to do. Cats are pretty smart. He will probably stop 'asking' within a week. Just tune him out if he gets obnoxious about it. He will benefit from you doing this!!
