Does anyone know of any company or individual who will build bespoke outdoor runs, enclosures and run systems for cats, in the UK? I have found various websites in the US and Australia, which offer modular systems including aerial walkways etc. and can design systems to go from your house, all round your garden, allowing your "indoor" bengal cats to have a taste of the outdoors without them being able to get into any trouble. Having recently very, very sadly had to rehome my big bengal boy because he was bullying my girls really badly, and although I kept them in different parts of the house, with separate cat flaps, and a carefully policed routine of letting them put at different times, he managed to break through every security system I had in place eventually, and get at my girls. He was not happy to be an indoor only cat, and needed to get out at times, although was a menace when he was out! It has since occurred to me that if I had been able to install such a system, as is common in the US and Australia, with walkways and various runs going around the garden, that my boy may have been able to stay, and I could have kept him out of trouble and from harassing my girls. Although too late for Sebastian, I thought it is worth looking into for the future in case of any future cat problems. Being a bengal enthusiast, I'm always going to have bengals, and it is worth considering options in case they don't get on, or terrorise the neighbourhood! My girls at the moment come and go as they please, but I will be getting a new bengal boy kitten this weekend, and just in case I have a repeat of the situation with Sebastian (which hopefully I won't!), I would like to be prepared.
