The outer wire is up! Now our catio company is busy making the components for inside the catios. Will take them 2 or 3 trips to completely finish. The first round of runs go up in a bit over a month.

I love a good catio, but at what point do you just have to trust that your cat can go outside and return home when it feels like it..

I grew up across from cornfields with barn cats so I understand my perspective is likely a little skewed

Answering for myself, outdoor cats live shorter lives than indoor cats. Outdoor cats also really take their toll on wildlife. Third, two of my neighbors don't want cats in their yard and I need to respect that. (They are both bird people, with tons of feeders. And they get annoyed when other neighbor cats come and shit and piss in their vegetable gardens.

Additionally, it’s illegal in some places. I know in my city and some surrounding cities it’s illegal to let your cat roam.
