Hedi, Peter did a wonderful job so be extremely proud of him!
I showed your pics to Peter (MY Hubby) and he now wants to do something similar. I think that women married to Peters are the luckiest women in the world.


The question for us would be is it possible to build a Cat Enclosure for where we live?

I think that it would probably get only used once a year and that would be summer and fall. Unless we could think of a way to rig up some heating somehow. I think if we did build a Cat Enclosure we would have to add more things because of all of the wild animals on our property.

Does anyone have any ideas about this what is seeming to be an enormous project?

WOW that would be great ...What we do in the winter month , not that it is really cold here . We cover the hole enclosure with very thick plastick ( forgot what it is called) and that keeps the chill away . If you lay some electric out , you also can use some heating pats for the cats .At least your cats would be able to stay a little longer out there in the colder time of the year . Well good luck and make sure you make plenty of pictures if you do .


By the way my husbands name is Mike not Peter
But the name Peter means rock I belive and is a great name .

Wow! That's an amazing enclosure, complete with a skywalk and windowed ventilation. It looks more like a resort complex for cats... LOL! You two sure know how to spoil your kitties.

Oh my Goodness !

That is great ! I'm trying to convince my wife to let me build something like that connected to the back of our house. I'm going to show here those pictures to give her an idea. She's afraid it will be " ugly and intrusive " and thinks I'm crazy to want to build one. Our herd of 5 cats would love it !

Hedi, I don't know how I missed these but WOW! Great construction and design and planning went into this. Raffael looks like he is saying "I want out of here!" in that one picture! LOL Very nice job all the way around.

Nice to have a handy hubby isn't it?

Thank you all for the compliments .

M.A. yes it is very nice to have a handy hand around the house


Ummm Sam , my hubbys name is Mike .Thank you for the compliments you given us . That is great you get a enclosure too . I cant wait to see your pictures .

OK now , Mike got some more ideas . Now he wants the part where the 2nd floor is unterneath (sp) to close it in since he really don't like to crawl in there for tools or anything . Make a nice wood floor there and maybe some carpet on top . Also he talk about making one big window for the cats to look out there . And where the cat tree is to open up that part for the cats to go in the new room . He also was talking about maybe to make a opening from the 2nd floor some kind of spiral way for the cats to climp up and down in there .( talking to self , then he says he don't care much about the cats
yeah wright ) . So there will be more pictures to come for sure
and I am so excidet about that part .

I'm so jealous!! That is an awesome enclosure! I wish i could build one for my boys, but we rent the house we're in, and its not possible right now. If we ever buy it, its one of the first things I'll do
