Why Build Cat Fencing

Like dogs, cats need time outside to get fresh air. There are many health benefits for building cat fence in the yard for cats. 

Exercise: According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 58 percent of cats in the United States are overweight or obese. By giving your cat a combination of healthy cat foods, and strength training exercises, your cat will look better and feel better. Being a house cat will not keep them lean and active!

Security: With an outdoor catio, cats can roam the backyard without fear of running away. Often times, cat owners deal with cats running up trees and not being able to get down. Or, cats may be harmed by wildlife. With a cat fence, cats will be securely behind a fence that will protect them from harm.

Socialization: Dogs aren't the only animals that need play dates. With an outdoor cat enclosure, cats can play with other cats; or cats and dogs can play together! Socialization is key to improving animal wellness and keeping pets happy.

Be Free: Think about how you feel after being inside all day. 'Cabin fever' comes to mind. This is how your cat feels; and without a lot of movement, cats become lethargic and bored. They will have weakened muscles and joints and they won't want to play. This is why it's important to let cats run freely in the yard. Cats need a chance to stretch their legs and burn-off pint up energy.
