Contrary to popular belief, cats don't have to roam. Providing their basic needs are met, cats can enjoy longer and healthier lives when safely contained to the property.

They won't be hit by cars, injured in fights, become lost or catch fatal diseases such as feline AIDS. Containing cats
to the property helps protect wildlife from predation, and prevents neighbourhood disputes about cat nuisance issues. Cat confinement is also a legal requirement with an increasing number of councils.

A number of excellent cat enclosure products are available commercially, however the cost of buying these can be a problem for some cat owners.
