Outdoor Area For Cats

When boondocking don't forget about predators and roaming dogs as the portable cages are easily destroyed by them and your pets killed. Only use these cages when in a cg that has a minimum of predator issues.

Many RV cats are content to remain inside the rig where they feel safe. They'll lay in the sun on the back of the sofa and be fine with it. Unlike dogs, cats don't care for unfamiliar territory outside. I suggest getting them a good litter box and let them stay in the rig all of the time.

We have the fabric and are boondocking in Arizona. So far we've seen numerous coyotes (including a pack of 5) pass our rig (during the DAY!) and never bother the screen room. We've been using it for over 7 yrs. Point in fact, we never let them out of it. EXCEPT, Donner, the escape artist has gotten out 7 times this trip. We can catch him pretty fast but he is determined to see what's in that wash. We have the place fixed now (screws and a back up 2x4 did the trick....:) But some cats DO want to explore!
