New Outdoor Cat Enclosures
Hi Everyone,
As you know, cats that roam freely outdoors are exposed to the dangers of predators, cars, lawn fertilizers, etc. However, cats can enjoy the sights and sounds of the outdoors in safety if they are given access to an outdoor enclosure. I own a small pet products business and we offer outdoor cat enclosures that attach to your home so your cats can go in and out any time they wish. The enclosures have modular components, so we can offer just about any size and shape enclosure you would like at a reasonable price. If you are interested, check out our web-site at www.bandobi.com Thanks for your time. Regards, Josh Rothman Bandobi Pet Products www.bandobi.com |

Looks like an interesting concept, but to be honest, they don't seem very sturdy. Enclosures are not difficult to build yourself. I haven't had to build a cat enclosure as my cats are safe outside but I *have* had to build enclosures for my chickens because of fox problems. One size would fit all here/safe for chickens/safe for cats. It's quite easy to build a frame of 2x2 timber, but put an upright in every 3 feet or so, 6 feet if you will use really rigid mesh to enclose it in as I do for keeping foxes out. I put paving slabs down to avoid crafty burrowing in and build the frame on top of that. I thought I was safe with 6 feet high, but had a disaster and now put a roof on, which would be needed for cats, of course. So, put more 2x2 across the top to accommodate the size of roof sheet you can get. Get some roof sheets, fix them on, cover the sides with good wire mesh, make a door to fit. If I can do it, anyone can if they are good health. Not any more for me, unfortunately, the incisional repair I had in March has broken down. There was only 44 per cent chance would work, anyway. I can live with it atm, medically. In every other way it is going to ruin my life. Tweed All you need is 2im |

Will you be able to have it re-done? Is that even desirable? Tweed, I am really so sorry it's not working out! Joyce |

How did it not work? Is it herniated again? Yes. But I had two and it's only one now. Would a cosmetic surgeon be able to fix it? No, not at all. It's not a cosmetic thing to make me look better. My concern is how I can manage my big garden if I cannot dig and plant and clean out the chickens for fear of the last repair breaking down. And no, I am not about to sign up for another incisional hernia repair for a 20 per cent chance this time, I thought it would be a breeze after my hysto. It wasn't. Tweed |

Thanks for your kind thoughts. Tweed I'm sorry Tweed. I remember you telling us how bad it was. I do not blame you. I would have to think long and hard before having *any* kind of gut surgery again. It is the WORST. A heart bypass is a "walk in the park" compared to gut surgery. Take care of yourself the best you can. Sherry |

It's not a cosmetic thing to make me look better. No, I didn't mean to imply that it was. But cosmetic surgeons know how to make finer stitches with less scarring - and less scarring means healthier healing. When I had a basal cell carcinoma removed from my tear duct, since is was such a delicate surgery around the eye, they had a cosmetic surgeon do it and it healed completely without scarring and in a very short time. Also, since cosmetic surgeons have experience with "tummy tucks" they know how to bolster the muscles in the abdomen better than an ordinary surgeon. My concern is how I can manage my big garden if I cannot dig and plant and clean out the chickens for fear of the last repair breaking down. And no, I am not about to sign up for another incisional hernia repair for a 20 per cent chance this time, I thought it would be a breeze after my hysto. It wasn't. Who told you it was only a 20 percent chance of complete healing? That just doesn't sound right to me. Have you at least gotten a second opinion. You have a lot of years left to you (thank goodness), it seems terrible that you can't be 100% active and do the things you love to do! I know "tummy tucks" are supposed to be the most painful surgery there is, but I'd have to think about it if it meant being able to get my life back again. Purrs for your health coming across the pond, no matter what you decide! Hugs, CatNipped Tweed |
