Title: Outdoor platform recommendations wanted.
Post by: Mark on June 11, 2010, 08:08:56 AM
I know Kylie would love one. She sits on top of her Mr Snugs dog kennel quite often although it must be uncomfortable  :Crazy: - there is an old rug on it for insulation.

Thanks Lottie. I was thinking of something with a big platform for a big girl.
I suppose Kylie would be able to climb the steps  :shify:

No need for a scratching bit as it will probably go mouldy? - the rug on her kennel has brown mushrooms growing on one side  :evillaugh:

The oak or the Almond like likely contenders unless I can find one with a bigger platform big enough for her to stretch out & sleep - she is around 7kg

I was thinking of something anchored into the ground with a bigger platform  :evillaugh:

I will have to check out dimensions but most cat things are too small for Kylie, such as beds - I always have to go for dog ones  :evillaugh:

If it helps none of mine can stretch out on the platforms, We have got the Polecat as one of our ones and they do stretch out on the top platform, they just have their back half and head and front legs hanging off the ends  :evillaugh: (Mine are tall enough to be able to stand up and put their paws on the worktop)

Is Kylie a very long cat or just 'well covered'? Does she always sleep stretched out or does she usually curl up?

6kg Tiffany can stretch out on the bottom shelf of the Cat Rack easily

I have two outdoor and one indoor frame from this company, and think them excellent value

if you contact them I think you might find they will be willing to adapt a frame to your specific needs

Bit of both really to both questions  :evillaugh:

I think she would love to have a dog bed on the platform to survey her territory from.

Here's Zubin on his pole cat. Zu is a big lad weighing in at 16lbs, under the shade of the brolly.
