Cat Condos - Outside Cat House Designs
Allow your cat a couple of days to get used to their new cat window box. I have never seen a cat that does not eventually love their new outdoor cat enclosure.
It is a good idea to put the cat in another room while you are doing this particularly if they are bold and likely to find and open window just too tempting.
If you have a cat that can sit still for long enough, you may be interested in the idea of a cat stroller. Although a bit silly looking, this product will allow your kitty to see the world from the safety of a netted cat carrier with wheels. Although this does not allow your kitty to roam around the outdoors, it still allows him to see, smell, and hear the exciting outdoors.
A step up from the outdoor cat run is a large enclosure that is almost like a second home for the cat. These enclosures feature a feeding area, many play areas, and towers for bird watching. You can even connect the enclosure right to your house via a tunnel attached to a window. This direct access can let a cat wander in and outside as she pleases. If you have the budget and the motivation, you can even design the enclosure to match your outdoor decor.
There is also cat furniture made that goes outside. When you decide to purchase a piece that is meant for outdoor use look for the following things. It must be able to withstand natures elements where you live. Make sure you can clean it easily. Being able to hose it off and scrub it with a little soap and water should be all it takes to clean it. Since it is outside, other critter may want to move in to it. Your neighborhood raccoon may see it as a home for itself. Other neighborhood cats may play on it and start marking it with urine. So keep it covered when your cat is inside.
