Thread: One indoor one outdoor cat-problems?

With the recent few days of sun and seeing Hank sat at the kitchen door looking outside, And seeing how much he's enjoying his walks out on his harness I've decided I want to do something soon to enable him to play out, without a harness, safely and securely.

Since we're in a rented property and the rear garden is fairly large, we don't have too many options in what we can do but I've been thinking about securing it for him and think the best way for us would be to not net the entire fencing top to bottom, but place maybe a foot and half of netting across the tops of entire fence leaning inwards at 45-90 degrees. This should be fairly easy to install, inexpensive and easy to take down again should we move in the future. Then we can keep the back doors open and let him wander in and out as he pleases during summer, chase butterflys, have a one and only investigation of a bumblebee and all the other things cats like to do outdoors but not be able to get out.

I can only imagine your difficulty having one cat in and our and then restricting your MC. An outdoor play area sounds liek a good idea. Is there no possiblity to put a surrounding enclosure up like what i was ('trying to') describe ;-)
