Keeping Tom Cat Runs

What is it with Cats & warmer Weather? 🤣

Here’s Zeus (Mainecoon) and Hermes (Blue Moggie), enjoying the Warmer Weather from the Security & Elevation of their Window Box.

All four of my Puss Cats have access to this Box, and being that my Home is elevated, they all get to see what’s going on up & down the Street!

Lazy Boys! 🤣

The Pre Christmas rush seems to be on!
Here’s a job we did during the week in Strathalbyn.

Our clients wanted any steel to match the existing Powdercoating, & Master Blaster knocked it out of the park; the Color & Finish was on point!
As always, Mount Barker Steel supplied all the Steel & did the Door Manufacture to my requirements.

This looks trick!

To the Frizell Family; Thankyou for Rescuing two lovely Puss Cats, I so hope they love their new Enclosure, & thankyou for choosing Keeping Tom Cat Runs. 🐈🐈‍⬛

Ships' cats, especially on warships, often had their own little hammocks, made for them by the sailors.

Here's Able Seacat 'Gulpers', Chief Mouser of HMS Barfleur, a WW2 British destroyer, taking a rest from mouse-catching duties.

Sadly no animals have been allowed on Royal Navy ships since 1975.

Tiddles, the ship's cat of HMS Victorious, at his favourite station on the after capstan, where he can play with the bell-rope. Tiddles now serving on board HMS Victorious as Captain's cat, has spent his whole life on board aircraft carriers. Born on the high seas on board HMS Argus he has 30,000 miles to his credit.

How’s this for some cool vision!
It’s amazing what you can achieve with some stuff that’s lying around your house, and a little imagination!

Haley is a repeat client; I finished this enclosure for her this week, and look how she has transformed it with stuff from around her yard!

Well done Haley, and thankyou yet again for chosing Keeping Tom Cat Runs! 🐈‍⬛🐈

Spring has sprung and Keeping Tom is plenty busy!
So nice to be working outside and you can actually feel warmth from the good old Sun!

Here’s a job I finished today at Morphett Vale.
Ann & Luke got in touch, wanting something safe & secure for Luke’s two Puss Cats whilst he is at work.
Big plans afoot for the interior of this new Enclosure; Cat Flap to the bedroom window, Turf going down, along with some scratching posts and stuff to keep the Cats occupied.

Thanks for being such a beaut Client, Luke & thankyou for choosing Keeping Tom Cat Runs! 🐈🐈

An endearing photograph taken in 1945 during WW2 in New Guinea.

He found the kitten in a deserted village at Malba and it is content to ride on his shoulder.

Jenny the Titanic Cat was the ship's cat of the RMS Titanic and was originally adopted from her sister ship, the RMS Olympic. Jenny was employed as a rat catcher and gave birth to a litter of kittens shortly before the Titanic's maiden voyage in April 1912. She lived mainly in the galley, where the kitchen crew fed her leftover food.

Glenda has just moved back to Australia after Living in the USA for quite some time.
She loves her Puss, Moxy, so much that she imported Moxy with her as part of her return to OZ.

Glenda was smart enough to get in touch & ask about Fence Screening to her yard; something that has proved to be popular by my clients of late.
A couple of beaut days to be working outside, looks like I missed the rain again! 😉

Glenda, thanks for choosing Keeping Tom Cat Runs! 🐈‍⬛

Happy International Cat Day!
🥳🎉🎊😻🐾

Today, we honor the happiness and affection our beloved cats bring to our lives. 🐾💕💙

From their soothing purrs while they curl up on our laps to their playful antics that keep us laughing, and even those sweet head bumps or shy moments when they hide away, cats undeniably enhance our world.
💞

Let’s take a moment to shower our furry friends with extra love and delicious treats today! Or, consider adopting a kitty in need, donating to a rescue, or take some cat goodies to a local shelter, or feed a stray homeless cat.
😻😻🐾🐾

📣 Don't miss out on the opportunity to get your cat microchipped for free this Saturday! 🐈

Following a successful microchipping day for cats AND dogs in June, Council is hosting another free microchipping day this Saturday 10 August - but this time just for cats! 😻

And your cat doesn't have to live in Alexandrina. Cats from other council areas are welcome. However, please note that this offer is not available to breeders or rescue organisations.

📅 Saturday 10 August 2024
📍 Goolwa Council Chambers, 11 Cadell Street, Goolwa
🎫 Appointments are required and can be booked through https://bit.ly/4eYUcBG

Microchipping became mandatory in South Australia on 1 July 2018. A cat that is microchipped has a better chance of being returned to its owner.

❗ A reminder that dog and cat registrations renewals are now due. To renew your pet's registration, visit https://www.dogsandcatsonline.com.au

A good way to start the week today!
Not only do we design & construct bespoke cat runs / enclosures, but we can also supply & install, or simply supply pre made cat enclosure’s for your puss cats.

Relativley simple to construct, these enclosurers come with all the parts required to make a new home for those puss cats.
Poles click together, much like your tent back in the day, & dependant on which enclosure you choose; simply fit the stainless threaded 19x19 netting to the Erected Frame by sliding it over.
kits come with a fitted zipper for access.

This enclosure is in a temporary situation; I have added a tunnel from the outside window into the enclosure, including a ramp, for ease of access to the enclosure.
These kits are great for those who rent, are on a budget, or want to be able to place their enclosure anywhere in their yard.

Here’s a bit of a step by step in the construction of a pre made enclosure via Catnets.

Call us for sizing, pricing & availability.
