Purr-fect Havens
29 Jan 2011
Living in proximity to wildlife has its joys—and sorrows. If you have outdoor cats, they’re at risk from predators. Here’s how to keep your cats safe and happy.
By Ruthanne Johnson They leap to kill birds, pounce on mice and even wrestle snakes into submission. Yet despite their killer instincts, cats have somehow stolen our hearts. Their quiet padding across the floor to greet us when we come home and purring in our laps make us feel loved. So we strive to give them what they want: food, water, and lots of cuddling and petting. To satisfy their craving for fresh air and sunshine, we let them outside—despite the obvious dangers.- This kitty has all the pleasures of the outdoors in his enclosed cat coop, complete with a waterfall and private fishing pond.
- A cat enclosure can be a walkway that leads to an enclosure with lounging shelves for sun-soaked catnaps.
