There is one thing missing.. the kitties!!!
-
I see the humans opening the door for the cats and the cat going, "yeah looks good but I'd rather stay inside in my cardboard box. But thanks for building it anyway. I can see I trained you well."
-
This would be amazing for a cat rescue
-
I would love to see an update with the cats as well and how it looks with the plants grown a bit ....please do another one♥️ brilliant I love it
-
This is amazing, I hope who ever has this will rescue a lot of cats since they have the space for it! ❤️
-
That's the mother lode of catios. Will there be another video where your cats actually enjoy it? Are all the plants non-toxic to cats?
-
Perfect for rescue, non-kill shelters. I've rescued a couple of cats since we moved to this new place and now that I see this catio, I think how amazing would have been for them to have a place like this to hang out. I just rescued a pregnant momma and I am looking at videos to build a bigger home for her and future babies.

Thank you for sharing. I would add fountain, many cats enjoy running water. And, cat nip...plenty. And, more rope and hiding spaces.
-
This is awesome! The garlic needs to be removed, it's toxic and the kitties need a water fall /drinking fountain plus some subtle lighting.
-
Would like to see it again with the cats in it
-
How bummed were you after you realized your cats preferred the cardboard box the supplies came in?
-
I think some of the plants and or flowers are poisonous to cats (garlic is). Please have someone check with a vet or simply Google each flower and bush to find out. You've done a beautiful job and we want the kitties to be able to enjoy it! Meow!

I love how this vid is randomly getting into people’s recommendeds half a year later (mine too) I know this patio isn’t yours cuz you kept saying “client” but I was wondering if you could ask the client if we could have a 6 month update? I’d love to see how the plants are coming along. I would also love to see how much the cats enjoy it. Or post more vids of different builds you do! Would love to see more
-
Wow, that catio is huge. As other have stated, add some vertical climbing posts, fresh water, and remove the garlic. I’d love to see a follow up video on the cats enjoying their outdoor adventures. Ask you client for an update.
-
This is the best catio we’ve seen so far. That’s how it should be, actually SPACIOUS, and with natural ground, with enough space for the cats to run and play and enjoy all the nature elements. This literally is catio goals for me, so inspirational.
-
I was feeling pretty good about my catio and all the cat ramps and furniture I make. ....then I saw this.
-
Omg!!! It’s beautiful 😻 😻 I have 25 rescued cats I would love to build something like that for them. We did had a 4 seasons patio but nothing close like yours. How to have you building something like that in Jersey 😂
-
"THE CAT EMPIRE " That is HUGE!!! Lots of work and craftsmanship went into the making of this empire. I'd say someone really loves their cats. And I'm proud of you for not allowing your cats to run free and harm the bird and animal populations. Thank you!
-
If I had this, I would have over thirty cats! I’d be able to rescue less adoptable adults in addition to fostering kittens! This is now on my bucket list. 💜

But where's the catnip!? You have to get some catnip planted! They would love that so much. 💖
