Our LGA is imposing a 24-hour cat curfew from next month. Rather than attempt to keep Penny inside 24 hours (a hardship for a cat who has never been confined for more than a day or two at a time) or watch her when she is out, we bought a cat condo for her that will at least let her out in the air. Over the last week I built a platform for it, then assembled the cage. The last step will be devising a secure cat-bridge from the existing cat flap into the cage.

The cat condo is only the first part of my plans for making the place friendly to a confined cat. I intend to enclose the front porch (with maybe a couple of raised benches in it) so that she can lie there and watch the street, long a favourite pastime. She also likes to lie up under the eaves on the roof of our carport, and I am looking into devising a cat run to allow her to get there from the cat condo. That all depends on my health.
