How to Keep Your Indoor Cat Safe Outdoors

Your cat wants to go outside – You want to keep your cat safe.  Needless to say, you can’t just put a cat in a dog kennel, with no roof, & expect it to stay very long. Cats will be up & over the top before you can get the door closed.  However, there are many alternatives which will keep your cat safe……….and be attractive in your yard or on your deck.  An outdoor cat kennel is the safe way to give your cat the outdoor freedom he wants without the inherent dangers he might encounter, outside on his own.

Before “cat kennels” were available, I designed a two room outdoor kennel with two 7’ X 12’ X 6’ tall dog kennels, added a pitched roof on each one to drain rain water, covered the floor with stepping stones, fit large cut limbs into tree configurations for climbing & put in some weather resistant cat furniture. It is connected to “their” room in our house by a pet door & ramp. They love it and spend hours out there every day.

If you’re not up to designing an outdoor kennel but want your cat to be able to enjoy the benefits, offered by the outdoors, you might consider some of these outdoor cat containment systems.   These kennels provide several options for configuring the perfect place for your cat to get some fresh air & enjoy nature, in your yard.  With easy to follow instructions, your kitty can be enjoying his outdoor “escape”, in no time. The freedom, he will feel, will make him a happier indoor cat.

If even those options are too much for you to contemplate, consider the “portable” cat containment of Kittywalk Systems.  From the Clubhouse to the Penthouse, the Grand Prix & the Town & Country configurations, these are the “easy” outdoor cat kennel & condo.
