Keeping Tom Cat Runs

30/12/2025

Robyn is one of those kind people who likes all creatures great & small!
A returning client who recently was nice enough to foster another two cats from the Strathalbyn area, which brought on the need for more space!
A couple of existing Aviaries with an approximate open area of 12 metres was no issue for us!
This raised Tunnel protects the Puss Cats from Snakes & Foxes, and doesn’t encroach on the ground, so buggies & ride on mowers can all be used without any trouble.
Entry thru window is via a Patiolink Window Insert.

Thankyou again Robyn for choosing Keeping Tom Cat Runs!! 🐈🐈‍⬛

Van loaded for the last job of 2025!
Robyn; a lovely returning Client had asked for a Tunnel System from her Home to an existing “Play Area” for her Puss Cats in early October - (I mentioned in an earlier post its been busy for Keeping Tom).

Thankyou for your patience, Robyn, see you tomorrow! 🐈🐈

Another job in Mt Barker; these Enclosures utilising an existing Pergola are in favour at present.
Makes sense really; a multi use area for all to enjoy.
I for one love cooking on my Weber Q whilst my 4 Puss Cats sit waiting for a dropped sausage or piece of steak, out under my Pergola! 🤣

This is stage #1 for Jasper & Jinxy, so they can have some outside time whilst their slaves are at work.

Pergola has blinds that can be lowered into place, thusly keeping the Puss Cats in a particular area.
Soon they will have free rein of the area via a Sliding Door Insert.

All Aussie Steel from local Family Business Mt Barker Steel.
Catnets 19x19 Netting.

Thankyou Charissa & James for choosing Keeping Tom Cat Runs! 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

A great little enclosure for Pam, Barry & their new rescue "Pablo".
A Patio Link Pet Doors Window Infill will be added in days to come, along with Ramp for access.
So happy that Pablo has such loving slaves!! 😆

As always, no cutting corners on Quality of Materials, or Manufacturing; thanks again to Mt Barker Steel!

Nice to be outside in the Weather at this time of year - thankyou Pam & Barry for choosing Keeping Tom Cat Runs!! 🐈🐈‍⬛

A quick job at Encounter Bay this week; Wendy has certinally done all she can to keep her Chocolate Burmese “Lucy”, as safe & secure as possible - rite down to getting a new replacement Pergola built prior to me turning up to create a place for them both to enjoy!

I also fitted a La Luna Sliding Door Infill; once installed, this provides full egress for Puss & Wendy between house & enclosure.
All existing Locks & Snibs were transferred to the infill, so the Slider & Screen can be locked.
There is a “Trap Door” which gets slidden into place to either keep Lucy in, or outside.

Wendy, I loved doing this for you, thanks for the Chats, Bikkies & Coffees!
Thankyou for choosing Keeping Tom Cat Runs! 🐈‍⬛🐈

Every job is different in some degree, this is certinally the case with house construction over the years!
The first house I purchased was a 1910 Bungalow for a measly $75,000.00 back in the day - sold the house for considerably more after I rennovated it!

These old solid houses are great, they have a charm all of their own, but if you want to attach anything to the Walls, that can test your skills a little!
The Mortar between the Stones is generally very soft & “limeous”, which can create issues when trying to get a good solid fixing.

Such was the case with my latest enclosure at Murray Bridge.
A lovely 1930’s Home, slowly being rennovated; with Jolene & Keith getting in touch to build an Attached Enclosure for their Puss Cats, to keep them safe from the outside world, and to keep them safe from their dogs.

This job went along quite well; preparation is everything!
Jolene & Keith, thankyou for getting in touch; this was a great job!

Great to be sitting by outside under the Pergola enjoying a nice BBQ Dinner with Judith Kuerschner, under the watchful eye of Hermes’, Ruby, & Kleio.

Here’s a great way of transforming your Pergola Area into a dual purpose Catrun / Entertaining Area!

After meeting David & Terry we came up with three scenario’s in differing areas for options at their home; in the end the option of a Pergola Enclosure was decided on, thusly giving under cover protection for their Puss Cats & also providing a social element for Hoomans with Billy & Max.
David & Terry have done well in setting up the area with plenty of Plants and places to relax & play.
The Blinds on either face of the enclosure are able to be raised & lowered, thusly allowing natural light in, or giving protection from rain, sun and wind.

A calming area for both Puss Cats & their Slaves! 😉

David & Terry; Thanks for choosing Keeping Tom Cat Runs! 🐈🐈‍⬛

A beaut Enclosure in Mt Barker over the past couple of days!

Cat & Chris got in touch for an Enclosure for their Rescue Cats; this 7x5 Enclosure will suit them purrfectly!

As I do with pretty well with everybody, I felt quite comfortable with my Clients, and I could sit back & chat with them both for hours about what they do!
Take a peek at Cat & Chris’s Website - they make some of the most gorgeous Guitars! (If only I could play!🤦‍♂️)

Cat & Chris; Thankyou for being such nice people, & thankyou for choosing Keeping Tom Cat Runs!
