Re: Catpens?!?!?!?


Okay well after reading your posts and doing some research on the net...oh and seeing my two girlies catching the butterflies in the garden this morning, i've decided it isnt fair to deprive them of what comes natural for my needs/worries etc.

Re: Catpens?!?!?!?


I don't think I could take away the freedom my existing cats have always known by putting them in a pen/run but the fact that I want to show Porsha and keep her entire for a good while will mean it's not practical for her to have the freedom to roam. The run we have made for her is about 14ft x 12 ft and just over 6 ft high, so it's more like an outdoor room really. It also has a shed attached which is 8ft x 6ft, is insulated, boarded out, heaters and light and electric. I see it as a way of her getting some fresh air and being able to experience some outside life whilst keeping her safe - after all she will have known no different so surely can't miss what she has never had?

I agree Fran ~~ that is a great way of letting your new baby get some fresh air & at the same time be safe. If I were to have a pedigree cat to breed / show - I would do the same.

That sounds very good Fran......Porsha will have lots of room, plenty of fresh air and loads on interesting things to watch!
