How to design a garden enclosure that keeps cats happy and wildlife safe
In short: Creating a dedicated outdoor space for your cats allows them to enjoy the garden while preventing them from hunting native animals. This segment from Gardening Australia demonstrates how to plant and structure an enriching environment that balances feline needs with wildlife conservation.
In this segment from Season 36, Episode 28 of Gardening Australia, horticultural expert Josh demonstrates the construction and planting of a cat run. The project focuses on providing an enriching, stimulating environment for family cats while ensuring they remain physically separated from native wildlife.
By designing a secure enclosure, pet owners can offer their animals the benefits of outdoor time without the ecological impact of free-roaming cats. The approach highlights how thoughtful landscaping can serve both the needs of domestic pets and the protection of local biodiversity.
