Outdoor cat enclosures

19 years ago

My ragdoll loves to go outside with me. I bring him out on a harness. I would like to get him a cat enclosure so I can let him watch the birds when I go inside the house. He doesn't attack the birds just watches. Any recommendations? I saw some that are about ten feet long made out of nylon. What do you think?

    I got the KittyWalk from Dr Fosters. I have the kind that spikes go in the ground and I also have the kind that will just sit on your patio or grass. I think it is a www,com addy.
    I also have one of the gazebo net things that goes over your patio umbrella and hugs the ground (the bottom edge is filled with water) my kitty like to sit in there and watch the birds and hasn't figured how to get out yet.
    I got my first one at Home Trends.

    minnie - Thank you so much. What a great idea. The one about the umbrella. I can't wait to get it. They have one on sale for $38. Does your cat like the kitty walk?

    Yes she does. I will open the patio door and she will go and get right in it and I just close the door thing with a bungee cord. I'll try and find one of my photos of her in it/

    this is a picture of "Mommy" in the Gazebo you can see part of the kitty walk to the right. I have an area of grass that goes around the patio and it just fits on tht area. The next picture will show the kitty walk when I had all my kitties

    This picture was taken about 4 years ago when I had all my kitties. I had the kitty walk out in the yard. Since then I have it in the grass on the inside of my patio. As I mentioned they also have one that will jut sit on cement. This one sticks in the ground whereever there is a hoop thing.

    You are the best! Thanks for the photos. I'm sold on the one you stake to the ground and the gazebo. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to help me. Have a great night.

    I hope you enjoy them. The gazebo you can share with kitty!!

    I want to mention that on the gazebo if a windy days shows up - I mean a really windy day, I collapse the unbrella - leaving the netting on and just secure with a bungee cord. The water in the bottom part helps to keep it secure to the ground.

    We built 2 cat enclosures. One on our patio and one on the side of the house which is on grass. There are cat doors into the house on both so they can go outside whenever they want. This is a pic before it was finished but gives you an idea.

    I think you posted that picture before because somwhere in my files I have it or one close to it. I think it is a great idea especially with that cat door. I think I'd also include a small litter box and water bowl too then they could camp out all night!! Thanks for sharing. Did you have to purchase the plans or did you design it yourselves? I love it.

    Actually it has a litter box in it now, just not in the pic. They won't drink from a bowl, we have a fountain inside instead. They like the water to be moving. We designed it ourselves, it was pretty easy and very inexpensive.

    Once again I want to tell you I like it. My cat likes moving water too.
