Safe Cat Enclosures Ideas Options

[Furkidlets' Mom]

I wasn't quite sure where exactly to put this link, because the idea comes up often (so didn't want it 'buried' in a less-trafficked forum), especially when someone's baby has gone missing in the great outdoors. So I'm just plunking it here - you can move it elsewhere, Marc, if you see fit.

Anyhoo, these are some further ideas for building cat enclosures that I happened upon today. Some of them I don't find all that "enriching", but the addition of more plants and other means for shady and interesting areas could easily be added to many of them:
Cat enclosures - Cats of Australia, and
HSUS cat fencing systems list

If I remember right, I think there was also a link in one of Mink & Willow's Mom's threads, too, as well as one other one I'd posted separately somewhere awhile back. Use the "search" feature to find them. (cat fences, or cat enclosures)

Yes, thanks again. Even after Arthur got hurt, I still can't get past the idea of keeping a cat indoors it's whole life. I know the dangers and I know a lot of them deal with it and are perfectly fine. But being an outdoor person myself, just breaks my heart for them to not experience the outdoors. Unless I were to adopt an older cat or special needs cat someday, which is definitey a possibility. The one thing I have discovered about myself thru this whole ordeal is that I don't ever want to be without another pet again..So any ideas to have the best of both worlds is completely welcomed..Ann
