3. Cat Shack with Attached Run

Combining a cozy shack with an attached outdoor run allows cats to enjoy fresh air and grass safely. The shack serves as a sleeping and hiding area, while the run provides space for exercise and play.

Use sturdy wire mesh for the run to keep predators out, and anchor it securely to prevent digging underneath. Include a ramp or doorway connecting the shack to the run. Add climbing platforms, scratching posts, and toys inside the run to encourage activity.

This design is perfect for backyard cats who need both shelter and stimulation. It also makes feeding and cleaning more convenient by creating designated zones.
