I couldn't have all of my 10, now 11 cats that I have now without my "Front Porch". It was originally built as an open porch with the house in 1930's. The previous owner had it closed in. I came along and had the windows replaced with double pane and added heat.
When I first had the "Three Stooges" Moe. Larry and Curly this room was used as their den. During the day they would have the run of the house, but at night they would be closed up on the porch with their litter boxes and water. They were 12 weeks old when I got them and a constant world wind. I figured I would sleep better if we had separate quarters.
Porch today
This porch was used as a safe area for Mommy cat aka Good Girl while she nursed her 4 kittens. They were separated from my house cats Larry, Curly and Dexter who got to see and smell them through 2 screened windows.
The front faces west and becomes a perfect sun room. Unfortunately this is where I keep most of their litter boxes. That's because Outside cat Scary Mary is in the basement and must be separated from the house cats. I'm working on making her part of the family if possible. The litter would be in the basement otherwise.
When I trapped Scary Mary's 5 wild kittens this is where they went. In cages at first then the whole room. It measures almost 18 feet by 8 feet . Just right for this purpose.
