Our Outdoor Cat Enclosure

Wow, I can't let Storm see that or else you'll have another mouth to feed.

Awesome job, hubby deserves a pat on the back for that one!

That's beautiful - I bet the kitties love it! How about some catnip plants strategically placed throughout it? They have the added advantage of attracting butterflies.

How is the bottom blocked off? did you bury it to keep opossums and skunks out?

The bottom has an extra, thicker layer of fencing that is staked tightly into the ground and secured onto the main fencing. I don't see any way opossums or skunks could get in it, but just in case...we only leave them out in the enclosure during the day and only while we are home

That is a great idea! I'll have to add catmip plants onto my spring shopping list

You haven't had any escapes?

That is beyond AWESOME!

No escapes so far...but then again, they don't really try to escape so I don't know how it would stand up against a real houdini kitty. the way the fencing is made and the poles hang over into the enclosure, I have a hard time seeing how a cat could get over the fencing from the inside.

So what's the hose for then? Squirting them down on a hot day?

hmmm now there's an idea!

I keep thinking about how awesome this is, lol!

Go hubby!

That's some seriously nice space! Your cats are gonna be so happy in that enclosure once the catnip plants are up and maybe some climbing structures? But not too close to the fence though, wouldn't want any escapees.

The fencing is actually called the "Kitty Corral". It's from www.deerbusters.com if anyone is interested
