Well, I am most pleased to annouce, the outdoor experience worked really well.
I took them *all* (12 feral kittens age 3-4 weeks) outside to the kitty
enclosure today where they spent a few hours playing in the plants and climbing
rocks. They had a sumptuous Tuna Picnic along with my other 4 felines and
everyone got along really well! <heavy sigh> At days end (3 hours) later i
found 3 kittens snuggled in with Scarlett in the kitty condo getting some well
deserved "mommy love".
I think we're finally making some progress here....

Yeah!! I'm glad to hear this Ginny. Please keep posting updates.
Every time I see a new post by you, I breath a sigh of relief that the
kitties haven't carried out their assignation plans! Do any of the
others have names besides Marmalade? You know, when you start naming
them, you start wanting to keep them :-)

It sounds like a great day for all 16 (!!!!) kitties. Yum, a tuna picnic--my
kids are gonna be jealous. Those kitties are lucky they found such a nice
foster mom (or maybe an adopted mom?).

Awwwww, Ginny, this is so sweet! It sounds like you're making lots of progress
with these little maniacs. Thanks for keeping us updated, it always makes me
smile. :-)

Its the best thing we've ever done for our cats. I wish we had done it before
we lost Frasier to traffic and Grizzly to a bad neighbor (never proven). Now
they have the best of both worlds and we have peace of mind.

Can you give us a description of this enclosure? It sounds very
interesting. My husband and I have built numerous items for our babies
to play with indoors, but the thought never crossed my mind to build
something outdoors. Our cats (Jordan and Columbus) are about 2 years
old and we mostly keep them indoors. We'll let them out on the front
porch if we're there to supervise, but I'd love to build something
outdoors where we could leave them unsupervised while we're gardening
or doing yard work.

Hi. Sure I can help you. We had a guy that contracted the patio do the
cat-enclosure to match as well. I have pictures of it if you'd like.
Its about 8 feet by 17 feet, and excessible thru a cat flap next to our
fireplace in the den. From the backyard it looks like a jaccuzzi enclosure.
All redwood w/lattice front and door and slatted cover that lets the sun in yet
provides shade for our Las Vegas summers.
Inside is a cedar planter with black volcanic rock and lots of plants and
grasses to do the "cat stalking thing" in. (their own private jungle if you
will) I also added one of those little 'doggie-igloos' built into the side of

the planter so it becomes a "secret cave". My son found a large carpeted
cat-tree that was all worn out in someones trash and brought it over for an
outside toy. They LOVE that thing!
They spend a good deal of time outside now in thier new home and seem so much
happier for the fresh air and sunshine....they even caught a bird...little
rascals. We saved it.... and let it go much to thier dismay.
If you have the space to build the enclosure I would whole-heartedly recomend
it. Please email me for pictures.
