Yup, that's right. We took the screen out of a window so the cats can come and go as they please. The window is only about 18 inches off the ground. Most of the cats jump in and out, but there is a ramp for those that prefer to walk! They don't use it in the winter. It's fenced with chainlink to the height of our house roof, then has a section angled in. No one has ever climbed it, but the angled section would stop them from getting out if they did climb. It's also fenced off on either end so my dogs can't even see the cat run. It's about the size of a small city back yard. It has a man gate too, but we don't use it unless we need access to pipes that come into the house from that side.

One thing to be aware of is if you have hunter cats, you will be cleaning up carcasses regularly. Nine cats in my cat run and still the mice come in! Boots the hunting machine has a great time out there! He even brought a bat in one night. I don't mind the mice, but I could live without ever seeing another bat in my bedroom!

Here's sweet ol' Beau enjoying the spring sunshine last year.

He liked to lounge out there occasionally.
