We are expanding the foster kitten’s range and kitty proofing as we go. We opened up the hall from the guest room, but we have an open railing that makes us nervous with a small kitten, so we lined the railing with nylon netting.

The netting is see-through, but not very strong. Luckily he does not try to rip it, just looks through. It also does a good job keeping his toys from dropping over the edge. The sides are stapled to the wall, because staple holes are small and easily patched.

Izzy the cat’s favorite litter box is the one outside in her catio. When it rains, the litter gets wet (yuck), so awhile ago I put an old cookie sheet over the entrance and secured with with duck tape. It wasn’t elegant, but it worked, until the duct tape failed. Hm. I don’t know why I didn’t think of the scraps of metal roofing by the chicken coop then, but I did remember this time. A couple screws to attach the corrugated metal to the frame, tin snips to round the corners to reduce risk of injury, and tada, a outdoor resistant rain roof for the litter box. Faster and easier than duct tape. Please forgive the dirt, it will wash away with the next rain and it has been a very busy week.
