I could just vacation through you!!
It's a lot cheaper!!
Since most of you don't go into the chat I'll share my new outdoor cat enclosure we made for our kitten.
I never see him anymore! We did this Sunday and he loves it! It's 7' talk and covered in netting.
He goes in and out thru the window.
I just need to find fun things to add to it for him that is weather proof.

Thank you!! You can't have outdoor cats here because of the coyote problem. I see them a few days a week during the day walking my fence.
Oops, I was suppose to quote Joes Mom.

Yes. A vet once told me that an indoor-outdoor cat in the US has an average life expectancy of 3-5 years because of coyotes, raccoons, raptors, dogs running loose, cars, poisons and people who will shoot them. An indoor cat has an average life expectancy of 15+ years. Before I knew this, I used to let my cats in and out every day. But some wild animal- possibly a raccoon- mangled one of mine and although I rushed him to the emergency vet he only lived 24 hours. THAT'S when i found out about the dangers of cats being outdoors in the US. Since then, ALL my cats are strictly indoor cats!!!
I think that's a fabulous outdoor enclosure, Kathy!!!! @Momof4

Thank you!! Pinterest has so many cool ideas I just can't execute but I'm doing my best.
Wow, I didn't know this fact!!
We did lose a cat once at 5 because he went outside one day and just hung out on our deck. Then the next day I let him do it again because I thought he would stick around.
He never made it home. I'm pretty sure it was coyotes. I looked for a few months and asked a bunch of neighbors to look out for him.
Never again!!

That's a really shocking fact, we are so lucky here that the only consideration is cars really. We live on a very quiet cul de sac so the cat has a flap in the wall and he comes and goes as he chooses. My last cat lived to be 21..Yes.

Good morning CDR. We have a misty start to the day, but it's forecast to improve.
This morning starts with governor duties - a disciplinary panel - so it's back down to earth with a bump today.
