image.webp image.webp image.webp Well I should have said almost. I have to figure out how to put a top on it. I wish I didn't have to but I don't trust one of our cats. How can I make one out of more grids? I'll have to order more, but I want it easy to open.

Kitty and Nancy are very happy, running around ect. Excuse the mess under and around it we litterly just finished it an hour ago. Funny thing they have not pooped any place except by the or in the litter box.
 
Hi summer and kitty's mom,
Wow your C&C looks fab, I would love my boys inside too but sadly that's not possible so I've got them in the largest two level hutch I could and I'm plaining on making a run extinction to the front so they can safely pop outside (we live in the country so there would be foxes, birds of pray etc about so it will need to strong). I will post pics once done.
I don't know how best to make a roof for your cage I'm sure someone will be here soon maybe with pics of their cages which will help.
Fab photo of Nancy sitting on her hidey looks like kitty is saying 'what are you doing up there ' :)
 
No I ordered them off of eBay. I wish I was that talented lol. I got the hay sack from the same person.

Thanks so much. I wish I would have had more grids. We will just have to make sure the cats are shut downstairs when were not home for now.
 
To make it easy to open, you need to hinge it. Most people seem to do this by using cable ties to attach the hinge side and then bulldog clips for the opening side.

There is a man who sells special hinge clip things. I'm currently waiting for him to send me some. He seems a great guy but since I said I don't need correx at the moment and only the clips (which are very cheap) he seems to have lost a bit of momentum - don't blame him as he's not really going to make any money from me buying a few hinge clips. See this thread.

Your cage looks great - love the hideys!

That looks fantastic!

Would pegging a sheet over the top deter your cat from trying to jump in?

That might work, but I'm home most of the time, but today is July 4th so we are going to my sisters cabin for the day ( I would rather not) but I might try that until I get more grids. Or see if I can some how use parts of my old homemade cage for now. Thanks for the idea. This was the old cage made out of closet organizer shelves. image.webp
 
That's a lovely cage and your girls are gorgeous.

I need to take back my comments about that guy losing momentum - I got an envelope of hinge clips in the post today. They look great. Now I just need the grids for my folding indoor run project!
