Thanks for digging up the info. One of our girls loves to go out and sleep outside during the day and come in at night. There are no predators here other than owls and she is too chubby for them to take.
When we make a final move to Arizona she cannot go out unsupervised and I will need to build a catio for her royal highness.
You will not regret building an outdoor space for her! I’m so happy that I could be of some help, whatever your design plan becomes. We had started thinking about one for two years before we saw the 3 coyotes that fateful day. It was the impetus for us to actually make it happen. We are 3-1/2 years in. I had to make a new weather guard this year. The other shower curtain got brittle from the elements, but the cats absolutely love having that bit of a cover. They can hang out in the loft where they are very protected, and the other animals hardly ever see them up there. It’s a great hiding place.
