Hi from Idaho!!

Wow.. That is quite the handful of pets, especially the 5 dachshunds and 6 cats. Are those all indoor? Birds are awesome, I used to have a lot of finches, a cockatoo, and a green amazon. The amazon bit my ear as a little kid, that didn't feel very good, lol. Anyways welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll fit right in.

The doxies are definitely indoor, the cats have the ability to go outside in an 8x8 enclosure I built for them just outside my office (I work from home). It was the frame from an old gazebo that lost it's top in one of our many wind storms. I secured it to the house and covered it completely in chicken wire. The put a 'cat' door in the wall, some logs for scratching, an old cat tree that I had in my office that was replaced with a newer fancier one and various other fun things for them. The just love hanging around out there watching the hundreds of birds that frequent my feeders. Everyone is safe and happy that way!!!
