The challenge is that the cat coop is so large, the chicken wire
seams aren't lined up with boards. Be easier if they were, just
staple the seams to boards. The cat coop is probably 15 feet by
15 feet, and it's not practical to climb up on the "roof" of the
coop.

The problem is as you say, at the seams where the rolls of
chicken wire come together. There can be gaps large enough for a
kitty to wriggle through.
