    Catio recommendations?

    ...is coated with a rust-proof coating but that has, according to buyer reviews, sometimes collapsed! Ugh! It is SO hard to find a trustworthy catio that doesn't cost more than $300! If anybody has recommendations of particular brands, let me know. I'm not wanting to do a DIY structure because...

    For Catio Owners

    I am considering this summer catio from Wayfare for my cat . It would not be anchored to a wall , but placed in the yard. I have 2 questions: Are these light enough to blow over , not being anchored to a wall? Do you use the litterbox in the pen?

    Catio or rehoming?

    ...the room. I am trying to find an allergist but I read online that you are supposed to avoid your triggers if you get on a controller medication. At this point, I don't know what to do. I love my cats, and can't bear the thought of abandoning them. But I just need to be able to breathe...

    Catio questions

    Hi! I'm new here and we've just built a nice sized catio/enclosed area for my 3 cats and two dogs (Papillons). It's pretty well complete except for the "floor". There's a patio inside the catio, but the rest of the ground is a mixture of loose stone, dirt (mud), and thistles. There are a few...

    Outdoor Catio

    Last summer I purchased a collapsible catio tent with a attaching tunnel. It's ok. I would purr fur a more permanent structure. I'm aware that there's a company selling Catio building designs online. I have looked at those design plans but they don't fit my needs. Has anyone built a...

    Tips on making a catio?

    I'm looking into turning my apartment balcony into a catio, especially since I'm planning on bringing home cat #2 this weekend and maximizing space/giving them both extra stimulation wouldn't be a bad thing! My roommate and I don't really use it so it might as well be a cat space. It's a...

    Possible to build a flea/tick free catio?

    We’re looking to build a catio this summer, and would love to build one that is flea/tick free to avoid topical meds, if possible. At its lowest point, it will be a foot off the ground (or maybe more, so that a lawn mower can go under to get the grass near the deck…which is a foot off the...

    Cat won't go to his catio all of a sudden and is acting weird

    ...house. So I decided to adopt him. Mind you, I have 2 senior dogs. We gave him his own room. A month after adopting him, we built him a window catio so that he could still enjoy the sunshine, birds, wind, etc. Needless to say, he loved being outdoors. He was in his catio almost all the time...

    Building A Catio for a specific window...

    ...a gated patio, but isn't safe to let the cats roam free, since they could probably jump the gate if they really wanted to. I want to build a catio that will allow them to exit through the window (this window is the only solution). That way, they could walk outside anytime, and they would...

    Catio with grass: toilet bacteria?

    We recently built a large catio to provide access to outdoors, grass and dirt for our indoor cats Our cats use the indoor litter boxes but we've observed a couple pee outside. I guess in time they might do this more often, though its their play-hunting insects area. Should we be "treating" the...

    Well it took me a while but finally finished building a catio for my cat who has been nothing but trouble if I’m honest. Fighting outside so kept her inside and basically ruined the house even having scratch posts, toys etc etc, good diet. But she is proper naughty, the only issue I’m having now...

    Catio vs. Fenced Enclosure

    ...there's a major road 2 blocks away which is very dangerous for people to cross, let alone a kitty! So at a minimum I want to build them a nice catio they can access at will. Buuut (I tend to think big!), I also want to build a large outdoor deck/entertainment/etc area (the house has no porch...

    Artifical grass in catio

    Hey everyone, I currently have pebbles in my catio out back but I was considering removing them and putting artifical grass down instead, its trimmed tightly but would this encourage them to use the grass instead of the litter trays in cage? I have large pots with fresh grass growing in for...

    What do you love or hate in your catio?

    About to put up a catio. I have quite a bit of space - a 6x18 (ish) covered porch plus an 8x6 corner of the lawn (shaded - may grow cat-friendly plants there if I can find some.) With so much space I wanted to put some things in the catio for them to enjoy. I was thinking of some kind of...
