I put a pet bed in it and he can come and go as he pleases. If you have wind and rain, you will need to figure out how to protect the bed from getting wet but otherwise it works well. For an inexpensive really large litter box, take a plastic food grade (cooking oil type) 50 gallon drum and cut off the bottom 12". My spouse even carved handles out for carrying (for this, cut at 16"). I will take a picture and post as soon as I can. You will also need to figure out how to cover this as well. (I only bring this up as the cats will be limited in space in the enclosure and the number of cats will add up the "poop" etc. in a hurry.)

Most cats with good immune systems won't pick it up. (Usually sickly kittens/strays.) We have a house cat who had a pretty bad case and was a good sam case at a vet I worked for. One of his eyes is pretty ulcerated. He he has not had any flareups and the vet who gave him to me was not concerned with my older, healthy house cats getting it...which no one has ever shown any symptoms. Just something you could look into if you wanted to bring one inside. There is nothing wrong with the pen you are building for them either!

Baker has one eye that has permanent damage due to the length of time before he got treatment (when I got him) and how sick he really was. They have had flare-ups here and there. Baker almost always is sneezing (although this could be allergies). We really don't want to expose the four house cats....each time one of them has a flare up, it costs us a $100 trip to the vet for eye drops and antibiotics (well, maybe not $100 - but close). All three of them will definitely get an outbreak with this change...it will stress them out, for sure. I'll ask the vet about a vaccine for the four indoor cats.... More tonight guys....gotta get ready for work....
