I provide them with cosy and sheltered places to eat, drink and sleep - and my, the stress and drama to have just one feral vaccinated, treated for worms and fleas. But we do what we can and they thrive with their freedom, which on the other side is beautiful to behold.God's Little Peoplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653169493941824939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267429547601186286.post-89014695242390059032011-06-26T04:06:23.364-06:002011-06-26T04:06:23.364-06:00That was great of you to do that for your babies! ...That was great of you to do that for your babies! :) Thanks for visiting!!Fur Everywherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064329146430899790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267429547601186286.post-28922920719586948862011-06-26T02:15:52.166-06:002011-06-26T02:15:52.166-06:00Thanks for visiting our Fuzzy Tales site!
I'v...Thanks for visiting our Fuzzy Tales site!<br /><br />I've compromised with my cats (Nicki and Derry, as well as angels Annie and Chumley when they were with me). I have a small townhouse with a fenced back "yard," about 16 feet by 19 feet and have had it made cat safe. First my dad made a frame of sorts and we added privacy lattice around the top, angled at about 45 degrees. Nicki still found ways to get out, so I added copious quantities of plastic chicken wire...which he still managed to escape from. LOL. But finally last year I bit the bullet and hired someone to do it properly--I bought 2x4s and Palruf corrugated sheeting, the kind for greenhouse roofs (mine's transparent, no colour). The handyman joked, when he finished, that he's seen prisons with less security. So far--knock on wood--this has kept Nicki safely in, though he still tries. But he can't get his claws into the corrugated plastic, of course.<br /><br />I went into considerable debt to have this done, but of course not everyone is willing or able to do that.<br /><br />But they get to be outside in the garden and chase bugs and so are happy. :-)Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.com
