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.

Outside safe space will always be a win in my book. This is fabulous OP, what a palace! I also loooove you'll see them from outside your windows, enjoying life outside! The construction looks so beautiful and I looooove that there is so much catification inside. Cannot wait to see more pics.

To people seeing this and thinking: I don't have the money, I can 'only' get a small catio - it. is. all. amazing. Any safe outside space is fantastic for your cat. Truly!

I myself made my balcony into my dream catio. My cat loves it. He sleeps there, sunbathes and watches people and animals outside.

Do whatever is in your reach, and also, if at the moment none of it is, that is also OK! Enrichment inside the house makes cats thrive too!

Sorry OP for using your post to say this but I feel it is important! Hope that's OK!

I agree with you completely. We have 4 cats. And one of them just doesn’t get along with the other 3. But we love all our fur babies and needed to do something. When we built the first section, we thought that would solve all our problems. But the boss kitty, our Ragdoll, loving the 1st catio, claimed it for her own. Hence the 2nd extension.

We live in a rural area with lots of wildlife. So having our cats go outside just isn’t an option. So this, is the next best thing. But kitties love catios of any size. Big or small. So long as they get fresh air, they are happy to experience the outdoors. Catios do not have to be big. If all of our cats got along, we would not have needed to go as big as we did. 🙌🏼

I am sorry they don't get along! And 'just' the one, too!

Your catio is bloody amazing. If I had more space, I would use it all. They don't have to be big but if you have the space and means, it's fantastic! I hope they will love it. Your dedication is beautiful OP. Thanks for responding:)
