Life with cats in this country equates to life with fewer native birds and fewer fluffy little marsupials and many other small native creatures.

Life without cats. I'd like to see that.

Couldn't help myself.

True if the cat owners are not reponsible and allow their cats to roam.

I suppose if we kill off the quolls, snakes, dingoes, butcher birds, foxes, to name a few, we could save a few fluffy little natives and pretty little birds

There are many domestic dogs gone wild because of irresponsible owners. Would you like to see life without dogs too.

Just asking

Good morning Channys_mum xxx

We have just extended our cat enclose to include more "rooms" outside for them now and they love it. They can watch the birds to their heart's content and have a great time "outside" without being outside.

Just wish all cat owners could and would do that, but of course not all can, especially if they are tenants.

I have five cats and a Pomeranian who thinks he is a cat.

I couldn't imagine a life without either.

We know some tenants who have landlords that just can't or won't let them put any kind of cat enclosure around the area Channy, it's really disappointing that that happens but I understand it as well as it's their property.

It's really nice when landlords will let tenants have a cat or two though. I know we would, but then again, we would build a cat enclose for them.

I was lucky here because there was an enclosure. I had to modify a bit, however it works.

Where I lived before had nothing of course.

I went to metal corp, bought gal pipes, joiners and arc mesh. I built a demountable enclosure that incorporated the back patio.

When I leave here, the chances of finding another house with enclosure is pretty low, but that's ok I have my pipes and mesh.

I couldn't imagine life without cat/cats either Goblins.

It's going to get interesting over the Christmas period, we've offered to look after a little Maltese cross and so there are slow introductions to our two cats happening. It's entertaining to watch, but so far, both cats (elderly) have not been thrilled about it, but not attacked the dog or run away either. So far, so good!

That is just wonderful Channys. Here's hoping that wherever you go it will work out for you and the cats, makes all the difference doesn't it xx

Wow! That is great Channys, love it. You are very clever and I'll bet the cat (one cat or more?) just love being able to get into it, yaaay!

That's given me a few new ideas again to add to ours, thank you xx

In a rented property a free standing aviary can be a great cat enclosure.They are only around $300 and you can take it if you move.The cats just love to sit in a sunny spot and watch the outdoors all day.You can just get an old table or something for them to sit on
