New challenge

The boys enjoyed a nice day yesterday lounging on the deck. However, this morning, they discovered that they can jump up on the railing and get a better view. I grabbed Kink as he was teetering while trying to balance himself. My concern is that they will either try to jump or may even fall. I am sure this would result in injuries or worse. Rick and I will see if we can rig some sort of barrier on the deck so they can't jump. If this is not effective, we need to come up with an alternative.

Question to KnK......
The boys have been here for over two weeks now. Would you feel comfortable with us letting them go outside during the day? We would make sure they are inside to sleep each night.
There are a couple of cats in the neighborhood and a dog that goes outside sometimes with supervision. We have seen racoons and coyotes infrequently but they are around. We would do our best to keep an eye on the boys but can't stop them from roaming. We are on a deadend lane with no traffic so that's not an issue unless they decided to wander off toward the main road. Just let us know what you prefer. Our goal is to keep Simba and Kink safe but not confined inside on nice days.

Letting them outside is fine with us! I don't know how you've been successful keeping them in so long. Simba can be quite sneaky for his size! As far as bringing them in at night...good luck. Simba likes to spend the night outside, but Kink always prefers the softer side of life on your pillow at night. Thanks for all the posts and great pictures!
