Hi everybody. My name is Marc, from Portland Oregon. I chose the name “Opposable Thumb†because it is the only advantage I have over my cats. They are all smarter than me…
I find you in a time of tragedy. My youngest kitty (Linus) came up missing this week and I fear he was the victim of a coyote. This has happened before and I have absolutely had it. I will no longer continue to raise my cats as snack fodder for these awful beasts and suffer the unbelievable heartache and guilt that follows. There’s nothing more pathetic than seeing a grown man cry.
My wife and I are going to try and erect outdoor security enclosures. I won’t elaborate (here) at this time, but I could use your help. I am pretty familiar with vBulletinâ„¢ forums, so I should be able to find my way around here; post photo etc. Perhaps there has been a previous thread about these enclosures before and my preliminary searches have simply been formulated poorly. If someone could post a link to a previous discussion on this topic I would be grateful. If not, than I will probably begin a new thread in a few days. I have seen many examples by googling “Cat fencesâ€, but perhaps the best suggestion has eluded me.
Thanks in advance. I will try and post some photos of Panda and Gibson soon (and perhaps Linus too, but that will bring back the heartache).
OT

. I’ve started to go out there with big Gibson and walk with him a little, but he wants to run like a horse and I can’t keep up, and I can’t keep him from crossing the street towards the woods. Plus it’s still really cold. I usually just make sure the coast is clear and head back inside…to worry.
I really hope that nothing has happened to Linus 
It's nice to meet you!!
