Its up!!!!! What do you think?


So this is it! What do you all think? Has to have finishing touches but at least its up. Cant wait until its finished & kitts can go out into it!!

Taken from inside lOoking out the window



Up the garden looking down - you can see the cat flap at the bottom - leads from house directly into run



From inside - blocked off cat flap - Tim very interested!!



Amber investigating



Any ideas or thoughts on what to put into the run ?

Oh that's really great, makes me wish I could have one! They're going to just love it! A nice large tree branch for scratching and climbing a shady spot for hot sunny days, all I can think of at the moment.

That looks a very good build, very substantial Velvet! I'd go with branches and a shady place too' perhaps a raised bed area?

That's great!

Maybe log for scratching, shelves to jump up onto and perhaps a shady spot .....

They are going to love it!

That's fab, your cats are very lucky! I agree with the others, scratching logs and maybe some ledges to lounge on would be great.
This site has some lovely pictures for inspiration?

What a wonderful cat run!

Can't think of anything that hasn't already been mentioned for inside it.

Re: Its up!!!!! What do you think?


It looks great Helen, i like the fact they can access it from the house. When we had ours years ago we had to carry the cats to it and back again.
Logs and branches for the cats to climb sounds good, also what about planting a large pot or trough with cat nip for them to roll in. Somewhere for the cats to hide out would probably be good too
