Indoor Cats - Keep Them Protected Outdoors, By Installing an outdoors cat run

Pet cats want to leave the house and rake the earth with their claws, or perhaps just go walking over the turf. I believe you no doubt know, how pleasing the soles of your feet touching the grass feels. On top of that, almost nothing can do as much as the pleasure of breathing clean fresh air or sensing the gentle wind on one's face. Felines have an even more advanced sense of smell, than we humans do, which means that, the outdoors air will bring quite a few bouquets, to the domesticated indoors feline.

So, how do you ensure that an indoors cat is safe and secure, when it is out of the house?

A cat owner would not like the animal to run outside the safety of their yard, or wind up in tiffs, with local community cats and dogs, or take a chance on reeling in a body full of fleas, or much worse. People can keep their indoor cats safe in the outdoors with an outside house for cats on their property. In this manner, his or her indoor feline friend, should have the benefits of both worlds.

Make sure that a good portion of the enclosure receives direct sunlight, and also have areas that are always shaded.

If you happen to wish to have the outdoor cat enclosure or cat run built up against your back door, you need to put in a cat flap on that door, enabling the cat to enter the outdoor enclosure, directly from the safety of the house. The very good kind, will be those that are gravity operated - they immediately fall back into position right after the cat, goes out or comes in. The clear, transparent flaps, are the most suited, allowing the cat to see what is out there, in advance of it making a move out.

In the event of installing an outdoor cat house, you can alter its appearance, by raising certain climbing greenery over it. Take extra care in the plants you decide on and be sure, that your cat will not be poisoned by them.
