Is it vital that a cat pen have height to it?
I have two cats just coming up to a year old that i hand reared for someone else then got 'stuck' with (love them to bits, so im not seeing this is an overly bad thing, just a costly one!) and up until now i have kept them as house cats, as the male in particular seems to have no sense or fear, and i dont want anything to happen to either of them.
However, now the warm weather is approaching im cracking open windows and Mins (the male) is determined to get out, and has broken a tooth throwing himself at windows in desperation.
In the past few weeks they have been having supervised access to my garden (6ft panel fencing) and whilst Woozel (female) is happy to potter about and chase flies, Mins spends his entire time looking for ways to escape.
Im not currently in a position where i can afford to have a cat pen built, but what i do have is a wildlife section of my garden (about 3 metres by 4 metres) that already has a waist high fence around it, that i could put a net over and secure.
Would it matter that there is only about 3 foot height to it?
