My cats really like spending their time outdoors (we let it play in the garden supervised), especially playing with plants and (in case of the Bengal) in the pool. As such I decided to build it a terrarium where plants and a small water feature can be accomodated, while keeping it protected from local wildlife (I live in Thailand, so quite large monitor lizards and reticulated pythons are a thing).
Initially I was going to use a steel bar arrangment, but switched to stainless steel mesh since this would also protect cat from mosquitos. Sunlight is via a single transparent section of roofing. This place would look much nicer with more than one skylight, but I am worried about the heat and giving my cat adequate shade during summer.
PS
My cats now like the space so much we are having issues bringing it indoors when we want to, though I suppose this isnt really an issue since there is no reason the cat cannot overnight in this space.
