Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / April 2005Outdoor house for indoor cat?
Hi All, Years ago, maybe 10, there was a product that one of our neighbors had. It was basicly a screenhouse for cats. It was a small version of a screen house and you could put it outside on your patio or deck and put your cat in it, under close supervision of course. We have an indoor cat and in the summer we would like to be able to put him in a safe area where we can watch him. Has anyone seen anything like this anywhere, and if so where can I get it? Or maybe something similar. Thank you to all who reply, JNGLS > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > JNGLS Like this? http://www.thecatconnection.com/Kittywalk-Playpen.html YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!! Just have to get the funds approved (from the wife), LOL. Thank you so much!! JN > Like this? > > http://www.thecatconnection.com/Kittywalk-Playpen.html Hey, now that is new! I like it!  SignatureCheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C.

For example, I built an enclosure using mesh fence material from "friendly fence" and used my deck posts to attach it to. Then I aquired a panel with a pet flap door that fits in the sliding glass door that goes out under the deck. The ultimate is to put the friendly fence, or another product, cat- fence-in directly on your own fenced in property.

Hopefully whatever you build or buy does not become a MacDonalds for some big slobbery-jaws dog(s). I'm not suggesting it necessarily will, but assessing the risk might be difficult. The flaw might not be noticed until it's too late. In real-life, something like that would need testing. Put a big juicy steak on the inside and a very big hungry dog on the outside, and see how long it takes him to break through. That might sound silly, but it's your cat's life at steak [pun]. Good luck. Thank you to all. This is all such great info! > Thank you to all. This is all such great info! It really is. I just ordered one of the playpens. For $300 it is a steal. I just hope it is as easy as they say to break down. I want to keep it nice and clean and so will take it down after every use. > It really is. I just ordered one of the playpens.

Yeah, you seem to have more time on your hands than most normal people. Candace > > It really is. I just ordered one of the playpens. For $300 it is a > steal.
