I have been thinking of getting a pussy cat, however where I live one is not allowed to let it out. I would need to get an enclosure so it can go out into the garden. Have to think about this a bit more.
This one is at the sit. Its about about ten feet long, 7 feet high. The cats get in & out through the wall cat flap. Its made out of 100mm square reo covered with chicken wire & shade cloth to keep the snakes out.
I trained my cats to accept a leash. Then i adapted with an enclosure with a leash. . Evolves with each cat with different personalities. I used a harness, not a collar only. Cats should not be free roaming. But outside with appropriate adaptations....yes....like a zoo., it is possible. Start small. Rome was not built in a day.
As someone who just acquired a cat that was hit by a car, I have a firm opinion that cats do not belong outside. Personally, if I had my own home or even a deck or patio I would build a catio enclosure for my babies. You could probably build or have someone build something for a reasonable cost and I've seen a number of outdoor enclosures for cats that are commercially available. If I find a link, I'll post it here for you. That being said, indoor cats are perfectly happy provided they have enough stimulation- toys, hiding places and perches, and, if possible, a kitty companion.
My cats are indoor only. Too much danger outdoors. [vetmed.ucdavis.edu]
My girls are totally indoor kitties, & we own our own home. I had too many kitties killed outside that I just stopped letting any out. My current girls have never been outside other than in the carrier to bring them home from the shelter, or to see the vet.

Posted by LaurenI thought this was an accurate representation of how we feel every time we remember our last cat, which happens often when my daughter and I laugh over our current cat's antics.
