Robin building nest in garage

I just spotted a little robin darting in and out of the garage with nest building material. It's going in through a small gap at the top of the door. I've no problem with that, however, my cats also go in and out through the same opening

What should I do?

I would stop the cats by putting large hole chicken wire, 3 or 4 inch, across the gap. How big is the gap? They will kills the chicks as soon as they fledge and maybe get the incubating bird/s

The cats have been sleeping in there for years

If I put wire over the opening, how will the birds get in and out? The opening is the full length of the garage...about 20ft.

The robin might be safe, depending on where the nest is located in the shed. We have swallows, sparrows & bats nesting in the shed where our outside cats sleep & it's very rare that they catch any of them. If the cats disturb the robin while he is building or incubating, he will just abandon the nest site & move elsewhere.
