Your Darling cat needs to get outside and feel the wind on their face and breathe in the fresh air. That’s why cat enclosures are the solution. You know how you feel when you don’t see the sunshine or smell the fresh air for a couple of weeks. It’s like having a good dose of cabin fever!
Your cat is no different! You can call them cat cages, cat runs, or an outdoor cat house. Whatever you decide to call them they improve the quality of your companion cat’s life enormously.
It’s not always possible to let your precious cat outside because there are dangers for them. There is traffic, human predators, fierce dogs, unattended sheds to wander into and then be locked in and the list goes on.
The obvious solution is to provide some form of containment for your cat. Now depending upon your situation there are a multitude of options that you can provide. All of these options are going to keep your beloved pet safe and at the same time allow them the benefits of being outside.
If you live in an apartment then the solution to giving your cat access to the outdoors may amount to a small window enclosure or window perch with secure window coverings. The enclosures you provide are only limited by your imagination.
Even if you have no access to the outside available at all from your apartment then there are wonderful portable enclosures available that you can consider. What a wonderful bonding time for you both to take a good book and sit outside in a quiet spot with your loyal companion while they enjoy the fresh air. All the time you can relax because your precious pet is safe.
There is no need to feel guilty because your cat is cooped up looking at the same four walls all the time. Imagine living your life out with your world limited to the walls of an apartment.
For those with more space the playpens can get even more creative and spread out. If you’re living on the ground floor here’s an idea. Why not create a run connecting from one window of your apartment to another window. This way ‘Reggie’ can wander outside safely in his enclosure, look around and then come in the other window. Now he is invigorated and feeling much happier.
For those with garden area to spare then we move up to luxury living. Reggie can not only loll in the sunshine enjoying the fresh air but he can jump around and frolic.
Once the area and situation is established as to where your companion Reggie cat is going to venture outside then we must consider the materials to use.
If you are intending securely taking Reggie outside in his portable enclosure then we are looking at flexible light weight enclosure material.
For those with more space and the outdoor cat house will be fixed then there are a range of solid sturdy structures available.
The investment required will vary depending upon your budget and the product.
Paramount to any of these considerations is always the safety of your loyal subject (your cat). Remember to provide locks on enclosures if they are unattended otherwise intruders could let you precious pets escape. Also, aspect is extremely important. If Reggie pussycat is locked in his cat cage and can’t remove himself from strong sunshine or rain blowing in on him then this would be all wrong.
All in all cat enclosures are going to make you feel a lot happier that you are offering this improvement to your cat’s life.
