I have 2 indoor/outdoor cats and I am thinking of getting a cat enclosure since it is safer than letting them run loose.
Do indoor/outdoor cats adapt to these enclosures?
Thank you...........
I found the best enclosure to be a screened in porch. This way I get to enjoy time with them while we all watch the world go by. =)

We can prune the stress of boredom by enriching the daily life of the indoor cat to put back some of the stimulation and activity it would otherwise receive as a free roaming mammal. This environmental enrichment puts complexity, unpredictability and choices into a cat’s daily life. Without these things, many animals and people become frustrated in confinement and show signs of tedium-greater reactivity, irritability and exaggerated or unusual behavior.
A cat boundary is a great way to let your pet enjoy the atmosphere of the great outdoors while keeping her unhurt. You probably have an idea of whether or not you could build one on your property in Beijing, but baulk out Purrfect Fence or Habitat Haven for some other wonderful ideas for alternatives.
Propose b assess vertical. Cats love to climb, so give them that opportunity. Cat trees mounted lowest level-to-ceiling, wrapped with sisal rope and studded with platforms for perching will give your cat the maybe to look down on the rest of the world. This is especially satisfying if there are dogs in the household, because what cat wouldn’t like to look down on the dog? A windowsill shelf is all things considered a more viable option if you live in an apartment. Even if you have no access to a backyard and can't base an enclosure, you can still place a cat shelf right next to a properly screened and secured window, allowing your cat a crypt place from which to look out and check out the street. Speaking of shelves, the more cat accouterments you can put up for your cat, the better. Whether you call them cat trees, cat gyms or cat condos, providing your cat with hard and stable places to climb and perch on, will add more space to her area and more places to explore.
Sometimes I miss the by-gone era of the outdoor cat . Until I look at the list above. To my readers they are just names and causes of death. I remember each cat as though it were yesterday. I hope I haven't left any off the list. Many of my cats had wonderful lives and lived into old age. The average age for the cats whose lives were cut short was 3 years, which is midway the average life span of an outdoor cat.
Some references state that 1 1/2 years is average while others state 4-5 years. My cat Peeper (yes, you will get a story on her) was the oldest at time of death. She was nine years old. Tigers kitten Baby was the youngest. Mama accidentally ran over him in her driveway. He was less than 3 months old.
*Not my cats but I fed them.
All dog attacks involved dogs coming onto my property and not from my cats wandering off. There was no proof as to who owned the dogs
I grew up in the 1970's and we had no cats past 1968 when I was 7 years old. I asked mama why I couldn't have a cat and she told me she simply couldn't endure losing any more to the road.
She refused to have a cat living in the house. If you watch any television show that took place in the 1950-1970's there were few if any with cats living indoors. Cats lived outside and kept down the rat problem and that's just the way it was.
Smokey was my first cat after I married and she was an indoor/outdoor cat. In the early 1980's most cat owners kept their cats in at night and left them outside during the day. It was rare in my part of the country to hear of a cat staying indoors 24/7. The indoor/outdoor cat and owner both had the best of both worlds. The owner didn't have the cat underfoot all day and the cat had the chance to hunt, take naps in the sun and even the occasional fight seemed a form of entertainment for the tomcat.
The females usually showed up pregnant or became pregnant at around 1 year of age. That too was accepted...
