First of all,I want to say that I am new cat owner (going to be ).Ima buy one next week .But there's a few places I don't want it to go near.Please read the whole post even though it's long .
I don't want it to exit the door and run away to "explore" whenever I open it to greet someone.I don't want it to run towards the door whenever the door bell rings either.Basically,I don't want it to even go near the door since many of my cousin's cat just run away.
I also don't want it to go to the balconies either.Mainly because it may try to jump on the cylinder shaped fences and hurt itself.I also don't want it to fall into the plants from there and hurt itself.
The geometry of all the balconies are like this-
infront is a wall that is 29 inches tall.Above that are cylindrical railings (like a fence for the plants)which are each 1 inch tall.There are 5 of them and between each one is a distance of 2.7 inch.On the right side of the wall (still infront ) there is a gate which is above a wall that is 15~ inch high.The gate has the same charecteristics as the cylindrical railing (it's basically the same but unlike the others that are fixed to the wall ,this one isn't.Thats why it can be opened (if pushed infront) and closed).Beyond all these railings there are nothing .These railings guard the plants.However ,behind the plants,there are even more railings that serve the purpose of a wall but they also allow sunlight to come through for the plants.These ones have a distance of 5 inch.There are 10 of these and above them there is an actual wall that connects to the ceiling.
On the right side there is both a wall and even more railings (to allow sunlight pass).The wall is on the back side and it connects to the gate that enters the balcony (not the one that is made of railings and is used to enter the plants' area).A bit forward of the actual walls (the ones in the right side) are railings that have a distance of 5 inch and they connect to the ceiling.
On the left side there is a small wall and above them are railings that have a 5 inch distance between .These ones also connect to the ceiling.However behind these ones there are transparent closed windows .
For better understanding,I'll post the images of the walls through imgur .And are balconies like this even dangerous for cats or am I just becoming over anxious?? And I tried putting a cat net on the balconies but it didn't work.
The links-
Right side view-Left side view-Infront view-Infront view ( tried to include the ceiling)-Infront view (from outside the balcony)-
Logically I should just close the doors to the balconies but since my parents dry the clothes in the balconies,they need to check on them often ,and they aren't exactly so eager to understand these conditions.Apart from that,since it's summer now,they choose to keep the doors open for good ventilation.
How can I keep them away from these places??
