WOW WOULD WE LOVE TO HAVE THAT ENCLOSURE HERE FOR THE FOUND CATS TO PLAY AND ROAM AROUND THE BACK YARD IN.
AND THE PET VISITORS AND PET ANGELS ALL GOT A KICK OUT OF SNAEKERS TALKING AWAY, AND ITS GREAT TO SEE THAT SNAEKERS LOVES TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIS GUARDIANS SO MUCH.
THATS TRULY THE SIGN OF A HAPPY CAT.

Such wonderful videos!

I loved seeing Sneakers 'sneakers,' m her feet stand out so well against her darker coloring. And I agree with the other comment, when the sun hit her coat, such beautiful tones! Hearing her chatter was grand! I think she has a lovely life with you.

Dear Tiny, batting at the camera, wanted to check it out, the curiosity factor, ya know?

Jimmy made me laugh! It must take a while to get enough that way, but I understand why he feels it is necessary. I wonder if you put some chicken broth in there, would he still do the dainty tasting, or lap it right up!

It is so nice that you have the land to build that size enclosure for them. Wow! And now you get to make the 'new and improved' version, once you move. Higher top, closer to the house, etc. Heck, maybe you can link it to a cat door right AT the house so they can enter and exit themselves with no carrying!

You must have to take this one down once the Buyer is committed, huh? There may be a time with NO enclosure, before the new one at the new house gets installed. I don't think your sweet spoiled cats are going to enjoy that!

Oh yes, we have lot's of eagles around here and they have been known to take cats. Sneakers only gets to go out for short outings (half hour or so) and maybe 4 or 5 times a day. I've seen them circling above our house and it makes me very nervous.

Jimmy starts out using his paw for the first few minutes and then when he's decided it is adequate to drink, he uses his mouth.

Do cats like chicken broth? That might be a good idea for me to try and sneak Tiger's meds into him. I could sprinkle the capsule into the broth and warm it up a bit. I'll give it a try!

We'll be leaving the catrun as is and whoever buys the place can do what they like with it. We've suggested that it would make a good garden area (if they took off the top part) or a good area for chickens or rabbits. But you're right, there will be a time in between that they will be without an enclosure but when we get to where we're going (haven't figured that part out yet) we'll build the animal runs first so hopefully it won't be more than a few weeks once we move.

Maybe you could get some volunteers to pitch in to help build it? It wasn't too hard to build and now that we know what we're doing, we're looking forward to building the next one. The worst part was digging the holes for the posts. We have alot of rocks in our soil and had to dig down
18 inches. We used agricultural fencing but with fairly small openings so they couldn't escape. You can buy it in rolls at Home Depot. We used those fencepost poles that look like giant pencils and spaced them about 6 feet apart and then covered the top with chicken coop fencing that you can also buy by the roll at Home Depot. We made a little gate with some leftover fencing and used some wood to frame the door and there is a latch at the top and a hook and an eye at the bottom to make sure no one sneaks out.

Have you figured out what area you are moving to? Are you staying in BC, or moving elsewhere?

The plan is to stay in B.C. but we sure are tempted sometimes to move to Nova Scotia where properties are so affordable! It sure would be quite the trip to get us all there though!
