The problem: the cats have started to use the enclosure as their
litterbox. Normally it wouldn't be a problem, and on the island, I hope
they will use the big Out for their business. But the enclosure isn't very
big, and I don't think they can use it very long before it starts to
smell. If it starts to smell, the neighbours can insist that I take down
the enclosure.

yikes Marina - I don't have any more brilliant ideas than have been stated
here. All I can think is that I hope you're pleasantly surprised by a
covered litterbox. I know that chicken wire definitely prevents the digging
issues too. Could you consider digging up some of the sod and allowing them
to pee in some dirt back there? Maybe you could switch out the dirt and
pick up solids quickly? I know I know - not great ideas.

Good luck!
