This is taking so amazingly long. But here are some new pics, and the guy
promises it will be finished by the weekend. We'll see. I keep hearing
that from him.

Yup, major requirement to keep out flying insects.

This going to be fantastic. I'm sorry you ran into someone who is causing
such delays, but it does look like it will be wonderful for your kitties
(and maybe for you, if you put a chair inside the screened area so you can
join them).

I plan to do that! You can see from this pic that the tracks that the
screen is installed in are covered.

Great! That's going to be a wonderful fresh-air playground for all of you.

It looks great! That's a porch for you as much as for your cats. Hope
it's done before summer's over. :)

It's going to be awesome, Cheryl. And IMO it's a great investment
for the cats. They're going to really enjoy it -- I"m gonna stick my
neck out here and predict that they'll even love it during the less-
than-
ideal weather. Jamie's did.
I can see you've improved on what we did re: using mesh screen. That's
what we started out buying, and the salesman talked us into a "pet
screen" made specifically for pet enclosures. It had little rectangles
about 1.5 inches
tall and a couple inches wide. The sales pitch was that it was steel
covered in a ***-type substance, very durable for a climber. It was
all that, all right, but it was large enough for small birds to get
through it. :-(
I thought the most fun thing about the whole endeaver was "furnishing"
it. We found a dead tree whose size and branches were ideal for
climbing. They loved it. We nailed a series of shelves for "lookouts"
and 2x6's for
"catwalks." Lastly a carpeted ramp that led up to the catwalks.
Scratching posts, beds, and all. I was really sad for the cats when
they sold the house and bought into an addition with a Neighborhood
organization which said "no, no" when she asked permission of the
Board to enclose the patio on the new house. Did not make sense to me,
because of the privacy fence you wouldn't even be able to see it.
Anyhoo, I am rambling -- but am very e***d for Shamrock, Rhett, et
al. I'd love to see some pics when they
get to move in.

how are the cats reacting to a stranger in the house? Lee

I imagine that would be nice, although it would probably be nice in
autumn too. I'm looking forward to hearing how the enclosure affects
the always interesting dynamics of Cheryl's clowder.

I really wanted to keep out mosquitoes and bees and other stinging flying
insects. The screen is very strong and the way the guy is*** it, it
can be replaced in just the pieces that get sliced. Plus the birds and
rabbits. Not sure how the ones that got in couldn't figure out how to get
out.

That's what I'm looking forward to. I can do those additions myself.

I'll send pics! :) He *says* it'll be done by Sunday. I'm not holding my
breath.
