    I made a cat run outside....

    *edit* do cats dig a lot?? Like might they be able to dig under the fence?? I dug it into the ground, but I still worry a little...


    I really wanted a way to let the cats be outside without letting them loose or me walking them So I figured I could make a cat run. It connects to a window so them can come and go as they please. It's not very big, nor is it pretty ( ) but it gets the job done. Kiba loves it. She will sit outside and just watch things. Butter keeps coming in and out, in and out like he can't decide what to do. I have a cat door for the window, but I haven't finished it yet.

    Sorry the pictures aren't that great, especially of the cats. It's hard to take pics through chicken wire!






    It goes around the side of the house. It is inside the dogs fence.



    Few more coming

    (please note that I designed this and built most of it myself....I'm no carpenter so that's why it looks like crap... I was more so going for the keep cats in than looking nice though.)

    Never mind what it looks like, but it's really not bad at all! I bet your cats are happy to be able to go in and out.

    What sweet pictures of them!!

    That's excellent, a job well done, it really is. It doesn't have to look fancy, if it does the job you wanted then it's perfect. The cats seem to love it, and Im sure it'll give them hours of entertainment being able to go in and out as they choose, they'll be able to taste a bit of fresh air and freedom, its' brilliant, and you should be proud of yourself for putting in the time effort and care trying to give your cats a better life. You are thinking of them and I'm sure they appreciate it ten fold.
    Well done on being a great cat lover/owner.

    What a great thing to do for your feline friends! Looks like they appreciate it, too.

    Some cats do dig, so just keep an eye on the bottom. They can sneak through the littlest cracks. Your cats may not even try to get out, but my ferals were very creative in finding a way out. One managed to lift the metal roof enough to sneak out. (Got her back and sealed the roofline)

    Good job
