    "Catios" bring indoor cats outside safely!

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.

    WoW that is so neat they did that.. Great for the babies to get fresh air & all.. But if this is a 12 floor apartment = then what did the landlord say?? Or is this a 99 yr lease condo??

    I imagine some of these people own their apartments, and other must have permission if it's a condo or a lease.

    What a great idea, I can imagine My Found Cats enjoying a walk way like that!
    What a shame it is that I have no talent for building things so The Found Cats can enjoy running and playing like those two Happy Cats!!
    I will see about complete lawn enclosure when my neighbor the contractor has a week's free time

    This is very interesting! In fact, I need to show this to Bruce's brother and SIL. He was just hospitalized last month and they discovered it is because he is highly allergic to their three cats. Mind you, he's been living with these three cats for YEARS! But his throat is all scarred up and it is affecting his airway. So now they have to build an enclosure to keep the cats outside. Bruce's other brother will like this because he is also allergic and can't stay at the house too long without having problems.
    So their structure will be only outdoor. They will have to build shelter for them to use during the winter months. I'm curious as to what they will come up with. But this has great ideas!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Gary, when I saw this article yesterday, I thought immediately of the porch enclosures you have made for your cats!.. You have inspired a new trend among Manhattanites! (and how long before it catches on with everyone else?!)

    Very interesting and I'm sure that all cats would love these. I live in a condo complex so I wouldn't be able to do this to my balcony.

    Thank You Pat, although to give credit where credit is due, it was my Friends who are contractors who did the workk, I just paid for the work to be done.
    With any luck the whole back yard will be done and The Found Cats will be even happier!!
