I wish! That would have been my preferred option # 1. We're on the ground floor with no patio. If I could let him into a screened area, I know we'd both be ecstatic! He hangs out on our upstairs neighbor's deck a lot, but it's not secure and about ten feet off the ground. I caught him jumping down into the hedgerow once and thought I was going to have a heart attack right there on the spot. He was fine though, and happy as always, with no idea why I was freaking.
