I know I'm hardly ever on the cat side of PT, but I still have my 2 cats of course! My cats love going outside (I am outside supervising them of course), but the problem is with our new house they are able to climb the fence when my back is turned. I really want to make a safe enclosure for them so they can be outside and not get into trouble!

Has anyone made a fully enclosed (on all 4 sides) cat enclosure? If so, how much did it cost and how long did it take to build?

Thank you so much, any information would be appreciated! :)

Here is a previous thread about PT'rs outdoor cat enclosures and some pics of different styles of their enclosures.

p.s. I just love your Corgis! Our family dog when I was growing up was a tri coloured Pembroke Corgi named Toby. They are fantastic dogs!:)

These are so cool!! I've never seen them before. They would work well to solve my problem of the run being too far away from the house. I could cut off the ends and make a tunnel from the house to the run.
I'm going to look them up on Ebay!

THATS THE NEXT PROJECT FOR THE FOUND CAT HOTEL TO HAVE A 20 X 20 ENCLOSURE BUILT SO THEY CAN HAVE A NICE BIG AREA TO PLAY IN THE SUN, AND HAVE SOME LAWN TO CHEW ON TOO.
THAT SHOULD MAKE MY FRIENDS HAPPY.
NOW ONLY IT WOULD WARM UP HERE, ITS MMAY 21 AND 48 DEGREES.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

It's 48F down here too, but it warms up a little during the day. :eek: But, then, we're notably further south than you!!
