Good morning.

I would appreciate any resources that folks here can share regarding
outdoor cat enclosures. I am interested in manufactured enclosures, and
especially interested in plans or ideas for building one myself.

Thanks
-Mark



I do not have any experience with enclosures, but I started keeping a list
of both enclosures and fencing some time ago because several people have
asked similar questions. Here is the information I have in my computer file
(some of which could be out of date by now). I apologize for all the
references to barriers to keep a cat in, which is not what you requested,
but you might be able to get some ideas even from those pages.
