Re: DEBATE: Letting cats out - Your opinions.
Well when I first looked into getting kittens for my children (secretly they were mainly for me) they were obviously going to be much loved members of the family & they were going to be my secret weapon against my neighbours cats pooing in my garden.
Unfortunately before we could find kittens a pedigree Burmese was killed right outside my house, & a neighbours cat became the victim of rta & was found dead under my shed. It was a hot summer that year. So we decided that when we owned Kittens/cats regardless of their pedigree they would be house cats. This is my personal choice, I don't want the heartbreak of finding my extended family member dead on the road - or worse never finding them. We now own Bengals & have attached cat runs to our conservatory so that we can all have fresh air. I don't feel guilty about keeping them in, they were raised as house kittens now they are house cats. The neighbours cat's cat poo is still annoying but I can live with it ![]()

There is someone on the forum that has a nice tidy cat run. I intend to find the thread. I have found similar ones on a website Fun 4 Pets UK. but they are not tall enough to cover the kitchen window. Whilst I am writing this post what a twit, we could build a small wall and have it attached on top. Can you tell I'm not a DIY person. A nice project to hubby though ![]() Sue |

Re: DEBATE: Letting cats out - Your opinions.
Sorry guys I had to take Duke for his walk.
It probably is Kay73, I think the thread is cat run or my cat run. I'll find it. The ones I have seen I think are only 6' high. I could have a wooden one but that would need maintaining. Sue |

Or buy the wire and make your own that is what we are planning - we have also dabbled with the idea of buying a nice pagoda and then covering that with wire - we may do that eventually with a tunnel from cat flap to it.
For now we are going to do something simple around the window as we are building a new house which will have something permenant built in (lucky cats & me) ![]() My cats hate being kept in but when they do go out - they only want to laze just outside the door in the sun so they'll love the run!
