You won't be disappointed Jeff it's brilliant

Amazing to see the keepers interacting with the adults at Australia zoo too

They say 'don't bight the hand that feeds you' Mick. Try telling that later on to a tiger

Just been roughly sketching out a few ideas to make some 'cat stairs' as I have a balcony on the first floor. They could then go out.

Cat fire escape. How Much!!!!!!!!

I have 2 cats (well the wife does) and i think cats make rubbish pets. If i'd wanted a pet that ruins furniture and you only see it when it wants to eat then i'd adopt a teenager.

With regard the fire escape idea, i saw on the "my cat from hell" tv show they had an outside balcony for the cat made from what look like plastic pvc pipe and netting. Looked similar to a cat version of the kids soft play centres. Might be worth looking into something like that.

I am thinking along these lines now

I can see three problems with us having a cat, two of them being small and hairy ("the children") and the other being the amount of open land here, mining museum and woods around us and seashore opposite, we'd never see the cat again if it got out.

Think I have now sussed out a plan for some stairs so the cat(s) can go outside from my first floor balcony

Phew
