I am planning to put a giant cage in our balcony to let our cats get out in the fresh air without the risk of them falling 28 storeys. So what I'm looking for our some of those big, dog sized metal cages, which I can adapt to make into a little outdoor cat condo.

Anywhere know where I could get some? All the pet places I've seen just stock small ones - I'm looking of 1 x 2 metre sized ones.

Jenifa - don't know the answer to your question about the cages, but just in case here's another idea for you. If you don't mind a little blocking of the view, you can buy chicken wire fencing to roll-out accross your balcony (so, basically you buy a roll that fits the top/open part of your balcony, drill some nails in for it to attach to and roll it out so that any open section is covered). That'll open up the whole balcony for your cats. It'll depend a little on what your balcony looks like, but this is something I've done in the past. Good luck with your cat condo!

Hi Nina - I'd be up for doing anything that would enable them them to get out a bit, but the building we're moving into is absolutely brand new and I'm a bit nervous about getting the drill out just yet... If see other flats starting to put things on their balconies I will definitely do something like you suggest, but in the meantime I was going to go with the safe option

Cheers

Hey,

not sure if you need an actual cage. couldn't you use the puppy training pens that you join together? you can then custom it accordingly (you'd need a few though to accomplish the task) . They sell large pens of about 2 metres in kennedy town at a shop called cutie club or the pet shops in cwb sell them. also a lot of them will order them in if you ask.

I used them when i had to make an improve dog gate!

hope that all made sense!

Hi Jen, that sounds ideal, cheers!
