Mouser and Scooter in the cat run
-
They look very happy and quiet :)
-
A nice day spent in the cat run. They sure do enjoy it. :)
-
I didn't know that Bentley was out in the run now! :eek:
Glad to see both Mouser and Scooter are having fun. Pretty soon that run will be too small............tell Kevin it's time to do a little remodeling! :D

Cute cats! I love the idea of a cat run. If I could ever buy a house and actually get cats I'd love to make something like that for them. I would never let cats be loose outside without supervision so that's a great idea for them to enjoy being outside but be safe at the same time. :)

What great pictures of some VERY HAPPY kitties! Thanks for sharing!
-
Hey they look really happy in there :)
-
That cat run is a lovely place. And the kitties GORGEOUS!
Which of your cats are PERMANENT cat run dwellers? And do any of the others get the opportunity to visit the run?

Thats A Wonderful Idea, And I Am Thinking Of That For The Side Of The House, So They Will Have About 25 Feet Of More Open Space.
They Really Look So Happy In Your Cat Run, And They Will Get Some Exercise And Sunshine.

We have some inside cats that want nothing to do with the outside run. They are:
Paisley
Bo
Shadow
Kurby (we haven't really tried him out there)
Avon
Gabby
Leila
Olive
Then we have those that like to come & go. They are:
Gypsy
Bailey
Beavis
Scooter (finally)
Parker
LarryJerry
Spike
Then there's those that want nothing to do with the inside. They are:
Blaze
Bear
Bentley (who use to be indoors until he started spraying, and now he doesn't want inside)
Boo
Barney
Then there's Mouser who'd rather be indoors.
Out back are our 4 ferals Yardley, Cozmo, Punkin and Mr. January who only want to be fed and lay around our backyard. I hope I didn't miss anyone! :eek:
So the most we have indoors at once is probably around 10. The garage-cat run cats have air conditioning in the garage with bedding, cat trees, toys and of course litter, food and water. And they have the tree in the cat run to climb. It all works out very nicely (most of the time).

OK.....now another question.
How do you keep it seperated so the "sprayers" don't get in the house, but the ones allowed both in and out can come and go? (did you get that? :confused: )

We have doggy doors from the inside laundry room to the garage, and then one from the garage to the cat run. We use to let them all come and go as they pleased until we started having spraying issues. Now we block the one from the laundry off so we have to physically let the ones that want to come and go in. This really works out well since it lets us control the number inside. I hope you're understanding all this cause it's not easy to put it in words and help someone visualize.
Gypsy, Bailey, and Beavis come & go the most. When I go out to change litter, feed, or just visit they let me know if they want in/out. The others only want in occasionally.
I know when I say garage it probably makes people think "oh my" that's not good. But if picture a large no-kill shelter that has one large room for the cats to roam with access to an enclosed outdoors, this is what we have.
Did that help any?

Makes perfect sense. It is unfortunate that you have to play door man now (with the bad-sprayers) leaving the others not truly having free run in and out. I sure wish I had a set up even half as elaborate as yours.
