Chuckie was in his granny flat for some 6 or so hours. Every time i went to check on him or play he didn't want to come out!
While we mow the rest of our lawn, i let the grass inside the enclosure grow long so there are areas for him to hide in and stay cool.

I just moved things around today to make it more suitable. I did have waterproof tarpoline on the roof, but it heated up and pooled water (the roof isn't solid) will have to wait till we're at the next house to re-design. The chair and wood were elsewhere, so now i've also freed up a corner which he now loves because the grass is about 2 foot long! The black box behind the chair btw is a side chest i sacrificed kindly. It has fabric in it and is a good place for him to curl up if it's cold or rainy and he doesn't want to come back in the house.

His scratching/relaxation area lol

Oh poop, not more photos mum!

My best side

Please pleeeease scratch meeee

Rar ball mine!

Mum stop bugging me!

Mphh i can't talk with my tongue full of fur

Finished cleaning, now time for a pounce

Ooh ooh..maybe not

Stop laughing at me! There's a fly buzzing inside my mouth and i'm waiting for the right moment to swallow it (this is actually true
...he spent a minute swatting it, finally caught it in his mouth, shut his eyes and waved his head from side to side a few times then swallowed..eww!)

My finger

Noo please don't go, i need more fingers to chew!

Looks like he enjoyed his time outside! I'd love to build an outdoor enclosure for my kitties. Chuckie is such a gorgeous white kitty!

Great cat pen. My cats love theirs. I need to do the longer grass trick, Charlie looked so happy in his little nest.

Is this at your new house? I think I am remembering correctly you just moved/ are moving?

I would love to seem more photos of the construction....Hmmmm maybe we should start a thread for photos of our cat enclosures so everyone can get ideas from each other.

This is at our current house. We're moving in 8 weeks. We're going to redesign it so he has more room and furniture, and make a link from the house to it so i dont have to keep carrying him in and out of there.

It's pretty basic. The walls are wire threaded and stapled to wooden stakes/metal star pickets. Shadecloth on the roof stitched to the wire so there's no escape holes. Small tent pegs pegging the bottom of the walls into the dirt. The split door is built from pine planks and the same wire, and a couple of latches for 2 parts of the door. Atm we're almost into Summer so i've been pegging up fabric to one of the walls so that Charlie isn't in the full sun to protect him. I've only been to the new house once, so i'm hoping when we visit again in 7 weeks i will be able to plan things better.

I swear he does!! When i go out to check on him i can't see him, then he's buried himself under all the grass into a little ball
do you like his new collar? i decided on sexy red tartan and gold because he's royalty



Can i just tell everyone to look at this picture again? :p




It is so priceless!! Have you ever seen your kitty catch a fly in his/her mouth and then wave their head about a few times while it's buzzing inside, then swallow it? And he had his eyes closed he was so happy


He's my little bug catcher
