hey shanleypink,
if you want you can pm me your email address and i'll send you a picture of what we made using old railway sleepers (freebies!) and chicken wire. Not elegant but great on a sunny day for indoor cats.

Being a curious type can I ask why you don't just let your cats out? Why do they need a run? Nosy ain't I ?

A run will keep your cat safe whilst outside getting fresh air, being in a cat run will prevent your cat from getting killed on the road or coming into contact with illnesses.

I'm having one built for my Bengal kitten. It's not difficult to build your own, you just need wood and chicken wire and a handy DIY person

Hi Shanleypink

I have a beautiful Norwegian Forest cat and a Main Coon and we only let them out in their run too. My OH got the materials in B & Q, here's a pic of it:

The reason she probably keeps her cats inside is because there are alot of nasty people out there who seem to think they can hurt animals like cats. That along with breeders and being close to main roads also are reasons.
I have two cross british short hairs who are both house cats and love wreaking havok in the house...up curtains scratching etc so i have stumbled upon this site because i too am looking for a run for them both. Try ideas-4-pets.com they have a ready made one in the sale incl vat and delivery.

please DO NOT buy from ideas4pets i got my cat house/ run in the new year, when it arrived it did not have the internal shelf or perspex window as on the listing. i requested these and he said the cat would not miss them!!!! i eventually got someone to bring up a new door with window in and he fitted the shelf. the wood on the door was going in a different direction to all the other wood and the window was shocking, it was roughly cut out and wonky, looked awfull it also has a 3cm gap between door and frame at the side and a 2cm gap at top!!!! i complained and refused to use run till was sorted. i had to contact them throu email as everytime i phoned up there was no one to help me!!! they came out to sort it again after a long wait as they wont work around what time your available its there times or none. door is ok now not perfect but ok. it took 3 MONTHS to complete the run to how it should of been in the first place!!! so didnt use it for that time. i have only had it since january and i paid extra for insulation (that they put in house it was minging, sooo dirty and cobwebs all over it) that has now actually fallen off roof and the back all the wood is roughly joined and i have nails they couldnt get in just bashed flat, they look like worms!!. my cat has probably been in it 10 times only as its crap and will only use when no other option!!!! they have now removed this item from website im guessing they had more complaints. it cost me £550 and was in the sale. PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY ITS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. and wont give a refund on runs kennels as they are made to order!!!!
