Recently my butthead neighbor decided she didn't want cats in the neighborhood. Although the guy next door has had an indoor/outdoor cat for 9 years, she called the city about the three strays that I feed. This is the same neighbor who complained that the dogs were barking, so I put up a 6' wooden fence this spring.

The law says all "animals" must be kept on a chain or in an enclosure. So now I have built an enclosure on the side of my house. The cats will have a kitty door into the spare bedroom as well as a 35'x10' pen outside to play in.

I need help furnishing this play area. There is a large air conditioner in the middle of it, so I plan on putting a shelf over it for them to lounge on. Also a large sand box with a cover, and a shade cloth over one end.

What can I put outside for them to play on that won't be destroyed by the sun and rain?
