Gday guys and gals, just thought id show you what i have been up to with my arvos lately.
About a month ago we got a beautiful male bengal cat from a member here on aps, great little guy named ringo.
now ringo being a 3 1/2kg feline is quite large and as most animals want to, is alwyas pushing to be let outside. we were asked by the previous owner to not let him outside as he has always been an inside cat and due to the almost wild and fearless nature of these cats to please keep him as an inside cat.
Now i do not believe in letting cats roam free to kill wild life and dig poo in to others yards so we decided it be fitting to build a cat run.
down the side of our house we had a void (that i wanted to fill with moniters but got knocked back by the boss) so we used it to build against. the run measures 4200mm x 1150mm x 2000mm and has a lazerlite roof and 3mm thick 50mm x 50mm welded mesh on 70 x 45mm timber natural pine wall frames. we have a lockable cat door from inside the computer room in our house through to the run so he can come in and out as he pleases, but he hasnt spent any time out side before so he spent most of last night outside climbing the walls. i will be putting alot of big knotted ropes around and platforms with big balls on ropes from the roof and a large sand box one end. if you have any other ideas of things he might like to play with lemme know.
I also understand that its a little out of square and one wall is a little on the piss but thats waht you get building in the rain and dark each night as i get home once dark and we couldnt have our stroppy cat break anything else cause he wanned to go out.. lol
Keep in miind still gotta paint and decorate
