    What a classy carpenter “check locally for a catio builder” ☺️ “lots of great diy options too” ❤️

    I'm glad that you included the bit about predator proofing. A lot of people act like the predators shouldn't be there even though we're pushing further into their land. Instead of taking measures to protect their animals or property, they just want the predators removed. Thank you for being considerate to your animal neighbors

    Hang a bird feeder outside the catio or plant some flowers that attract butterflies in your yard. The cats will love to watch them.

    I have a "cat bridge" that spans my entire living room. It has 2 tension bridges, 6 beds and one tunnel. They love it. However I didn't anticipate how loud it would be when they're running around on it at 4 AM.

    I love the shot of the workers just completely distracted by the kittens in the window.
  • Both their tails went straight up when they walked into the catio! So cute they’re so happy!
  • It was sooooo sweet when the workers were looking at the kitten through the window. Shows how much they love animals too. ❤

    This is awesome! As a SoCal native, warning about wasps building nests in the summer in the eaves! Be sure to check the eaves of the catio periodically to makes sure there are no pesky critters there.
  • My catio is a 10' X 10' chain link dog kennel with a reinforced top. Nowhere near as pretty as yours, but very secure. It's filled with shelving, plants, and two dog houses that contain litter boxes. We've probably had it 10+ years and the cats love it. They have access to it 24/7 through our bedroom window.

    When she first steps out Coco is like "I'm outside! Wait, is this allowed?"
  • One day when I own a house... I'm tossing up between wanting a catio, and just fencing in my whole backyard including top and bottom so that it is all one huge Catio. For now I'm renting so I have settled for harness training. Also I love Eloise and Coco so much, I also have one fully black and one fully white cat, mine are called Luna and Artemis.

    I loved watching Eloise purring and peddling in her pink bed. She was dribbling, cats dribble when they purr. We always get dribble on us from our cats but we adore them. Great catio ☺

    Love to see more cat lovers. It's so wonderful that they have a place of their own. Thank you for sharing.
  • @Korilian13
    OMG, imagine being able to just cut a hole in your outer wall like that. Europeans can't relate.
  • @MissLilyputt
    Eloise is definitely looking more confident. I wish condos allowed catios where I live. I have a balcony I never use and I would turn that thing into a fantastic catio if only my association wasn’t super against anything on the balcony.

    “I’m gunna need more cats.” You can never have too many cats
