The 4 persians i have don''t roam freely - i do have a large back garden- it has a 6 and a half foot fence down one side , a 5 foot wire fence at the bottom ( theres a field over the fence there ) and a 3 foot fence the other side -when you come to the back door its surrounded by about a 15 foot wall and a 6 foot gate .
The only way they can get out is if they go into the field over the back fence -or into the neighbours on the lower side fence -this neighbour is an friendly old man who does not mind if they do go in his garden as he only cuts it about once a year - it looks like a field !!!
Funnily enough -maybe due to them having such a luxurious home here ( there are outdoor scratchers in the garden too and a bench and cushion for them to sit on ) they actually don''t go out of the back garden at all.
If they wanted to go out the gate -it would mean me pysically opening it.
i am at home all day and every time any of them go out into the garden -so do i .
I stop what i am doing and watch them or sit on the bench with them.
Come 6.30 pm they are all in and the door locked ( i don''t have a cat-flap)
They are only outside when i am at home - i have never left them outside unattended .
I do live in a very safe area and there are lots of cats on here and there is no through road.
I am also willing to get a very large crate so she could sit in the garden and get used to it and i would stay with her.
I have never lost a cat yet in 30 years of ownership - the cats i have had in the past have died through illness ( kiney disease -1998 and FIP , AND Leukemia about 1994 , way before there was a vaccine for it)
I absolutely worship my cats and only live to make their lives happy .
Will leave it with you - but she would be so loved and cared for here .
I would like to cat proof the garden if i could afford it -but it is rented property ( 2 bed semi - been here nearly 10 years )
Also its a very large garden ( well it seems it when cutting it !
) and there are 3 very big trees right across the middle bit .
No idea how this could be done -and what happens if i move -could it come with me ? ( the cat proof fence !!)
I would never move anywhere that i couldn''t take my cats , near a busy road -or anywhere i would not consider suitable for them - me - as long as i have them thats all that matters - i can turn a house into a home !)
Just trying to tell the situation as it is as obviosly no -one can see - but i can post pics if someone can help me resize them !!!
I posted the pics before as they were resized - but no idea on how to do it with Vista -XP was easy .
Sorry for the really long post !!!
