How to Build an Outdoor Cat Room
- 1). Secure the sides of the cage with cable ties. Place a dozen cable ties along each side of the cage, from the top to the bottom, fastening tightly.
- 2). Cover the plywood with the indoor/outdoor carpeting by wrapping it around the wood, pulling it taut and stapling the carpet to the underside. Staple all four sides securely and flip the plywood over, placing it in the bottom of the cage by unscrewing the ceiling of the cage, and dropping the plywood into place.
- 3). Place the cage outside where desired, either directly on the lawn, attached to a window with the cage door facing the window, or on a patio or deck.
- 4). Cover the top of the shelves with the indoor/outdoor carpeting, securing with the staple gun. Place the wire shelves at varying heights in the cage. With the ceiling off the cage, it will be easy to slip the shelf into place. Secure the shelves tightly using the wrench with the provided bolts and screws for the shelves.
- 5). Place the scratching post and any other toys your cat likes inside the cage. A litter box and food dishes also can be put inside the cage. Reattach the ceiling of the cage by screwing it tightly.
- 6). Research the Cats of Australia site for numerous ideas regarding converting a patio, deck and more into a very large outdoor cat enclosure or cat run. Some of the outdoor spaces have multiple levels and sections within the cat room. Building information and detailed pictures are included on the site.
