So our neighbor’s cat has been visiting us for a while, so I decided to build this ramp so that she could more easily get into and out of our yard. I’m not much of a woodworker, but was happy with how this turned out.
It’s made almost entirely from cedar fence posts. Nearly 18 feet long (3 fence posts end to end with the dog ear tip cut off). Ripped cedar planks into 3 for a frame/support to prevent flexing. Posts are pine 2x4, and go 18 inches into the ground, which was the majority of the effort, since our ground is like cement…

Leash your cats folks…this is unacceptable behaviours from ‘pet owners’.
Edit: I will NEVER understand the downvotes or negative comments from people defending this disgusting behaviour with cats. It’s irresponsible to wildlife and the cat itself. Imagine people letting any pet roam free because they are ‘cute’…disgusting and extremely irresponsible behaviour

No. I refuse to leash my cats. I prefer a pet stroller.

Assuming you are in control of the stroller, I see no harm with it.

Well one of my cats has like half a brain cell and the other one is scared of everything so…. Not a great idea to leave them unattended

What?
You don’t appreciate the dedication to the destruction of every native bird species that was stupid enough to adapt and survive in an urban/suburban environment?

Very unlikely this person is a grandparent—up until about 40 years ago, most cats outside highly built-up downtown areas were allowed to free-roam, so an older person would see it as normal.

looks great, and it looks like the cat appreciates it!
