The only animals we've got on this place right now is a dog(and she's a really great one) & 6 cats. Now I'm not saying these cats are spoiled but, let me show you what their daddy Cletus built for them.
This here is the first Cat Coop I've ever seen. The cats have their own room in the basement where they can get in from the heat or cold. To keep them out of his workshop (which is also in the basement) He built them this Cat Walk. They go up these steps to the entrance.
The Cat Walk leads them to an enclo
sed area he cut over the door. It looks like a fish tank for cats.
From here they step outside onto walkways & ramps There's all kinds of perches & places for them to hang out & climb on.
For the Cat Coop, he framed it in like you would to screen in a covered porch. Instead of using screen though, he used chicken wire. I guess cause that's what we had on hand. (Though I don't know why we have chicken wire & no chickens but that's just me.)
Then he fenced in an area outside of the coop so they could get out & lay in the grass & catch insects & such. It's all really neat & the cat's just love it! I'm real proud of Cletus of thinking it up & then actually building it!
The main feature, though, is the automatic cat waterer. He took a big stone & chiseled out a bowl
in the top of it. He drilled a hole through the bottom of the stone. Then he piped in water from the creek that runs next to the house. Water comes in from the creek in through the bottom of the stone. The water then trickles over the stone down into the base. Then goes back out, through another pi
pe, back into the creek. They constantly have fresh water. He even made the flow adjustable. This is just one of the neatest things I've ever seen.
