Well, she escaped through and went and sat on a neighbours shed looking very pleased with herself.Oh shit !!!!!!! I was about to say it was looking good and that your gang would be pleased to be out again .
Will Jasper come back okay he might find it difficult with the netting or is there another way for him to let you know he's back .
They are sneaky buggers and will spot an escape route from a hundred yards away
I know right?!Houdini move over!
Jasper and Dave are girls, Ralph and Teddi are boys.I knew I would get it wrong....didn't realise Jasper was a lady I thought that was Dave or am I getting totally confused.... (probably)
I did look at the shed and wondered whether there was an escape route there but saw the netting attached to front of it.......couldn't really work out whether that would stop any way up from the back though but I think I understand how it has been done now.
Glad to read that she is back and hope that you manage to stop any further escapes.
I suppose it is like all new builds ....there is always "snagging"
The trouble with that is where do I put it? She ended up down the side of the house where a wall runs all the way along - it gets lower at the front of the house.I always advise building an escape hatch into a cat proofed area. I have a section of wood about the size of a cat flap at the bottom of one fence panel that I can quickly unscrew to allow cats in/out
Just for you I've been out with my tape measure.Those brackets look very long. What is the actual length?
Have there been any further escape attemptsI've taken a photo from upstairs. I think this shows it a bit better but don't know if the shed bit is obvious...
It shows the access road Jasper ended up in behind the wall.
The faint line you can see in the distance on the horizon, right hand side are the trees of Cannock Chase .

Attempts yes, but not successful onesHave there been any further escape attempts
Thank you, it just needs a bit of interest and a couple of added security bits, but I'm pretty please so far.I'd say that is a perfect play area for cats - couldn't be bettered!
Its all a compromise really ,at least they are outside and able to run and play in the grass.Attempts yes, but not successful ones
I think what I'm going to have to contend with is the fact they can hear things but not see them, but to allow them up high, would possibly compromise the cat proofing because the garden is so narrow. I can envisage them leaping and landing on the netting like failed furry trapeze artists.
I'm toying with the idea of making something out of decking, but somehow netting in the highest points. I'll need to get my thinking cap on.
