Lovely tips. Cats ate in the sunroom while I build their Catio. Unfortunately a chipmunk came in through the open window…not much left to identify. 😢 We have a mass chipmunk population that my Siamese cats could solve. 🤔
We know, nature happens. We are grateful for your visit today.
Lucky kitties.
Off the chart wonderful for the cats and humans . ❤😊❤IN JOY❤😊❤
Wow, made our day!!!!!
What a fantastic upload, really enjoyed it :)
Thank you most kindly!
Lucky cats.
If I were a cat I would take my two week vacation in your catio! 🤍
That is sweet! Thank you for the visit too.
Am I missing something here? If I lived in a beautiful place like that my cats would be roaming naturally in the surrounding countryside. If you lived in a built up area where there was no green spaces then I could understand it, but not there.
Thank you for writing this question Jay. We also live in a location of cars, and coyotes and have 1st hand losses. The catios keep them safe and alive.
Wow your catio is amazing.
Thank you Shelby! 😊
Seriously beautiful 👏👏👏 a true enriching (safe !) fun outdoor space for your cats. So glad I found your content.
Wow, you have made our day with your kind words. Welcome 🤗
It's beautiful! You guys have done an absolutely wonderful job with those catios! Love seeing your fur babies enjoying the great outdoors and loving their spaces!!❤❤
Thank you! You too!
Truly amazing! The cats must especially Love the aerial walkways!
Hello Sunny, we would agree with ya, they hang out there often. Thank you for the kind words.
Love all you have done! Would love to have my husband make this for my 2 kitties ❤️ Thank you for sharing your ideas and designs!
You are so welcome and thank you Mary Alice for the visit too!
You have created a cat empire in your backyard! 😊👍❤❤
Oh, la, la love the new definition.
What is Abby's story? I missed her surgery somehow.
Hello Skyla, thank you for asking about Abby. She had a difficult time early in her life. We made 2 videos about it. Here is the link czcams.com/video/L88sQpEJLxo/video.html
Not only are these catios functional for the kitties, they are also so beautiful! I love all the landscaping, it transforms the property into a paradise for everyone! 💝💝
Thank you very much!
do you have any tips for a catio off of a window?
Hello, humm, I would recommend making sure they felt safe with a hiding spot and easy access to return to the inside. Keep us posted.
What a purrrrect Cato experience for the fur babies!
You are too kind!
So many neat places for the kitties to explore and linger. This Catio is creative and very nice too. Enjoyed the video!
Thank you ever so kindly for the insightful lovely comments.
I enjoy watching beautiful catios and lovely cats thanks for sharing
Thank you so much Jef. We enjoy your informative videos as well.
I love the catio, cats enjoyed so 😂much, thanks for sharing, give me ideas for my 6 cats😺♥️
That's excellent news. Let us know what you create; ok Edna?
Just Amazing ! We need more people like this in the world 😻
You are too kind, and yes it would be a better place.
So many levels! Wonderful
We appreciate you visit and comment today!
I've been watching your videos a lot the last couple weeks trying to get ideas on how to build one for my two cats. We'll be staying long term in our rv though so everything we build will have to be temporary and we're not able to dig into the site so we're limited on what we can do.. any suggestions on what you'd do for two cats that don't get along at all? I'm trying to plan it out so that the one that gets picked on has escape routes from the bully.. it's difficult too since she can't really jump and doesn't climb all that well either. The bully is very active and can run and jump very well.
Hello Cheryl, you have a set of unique challenges' indeed. Not sure how but perhaps you could build a small enclosure behind a window and use posts sitting on a 12x12 pavers for support. If possible make is so that it can be removed and re assembled. That's the best I can come up with???????
Great advice for every household with cats! 🙂👍
Glad you think so!
No, not creepy, it is very cute! 😁😊❤
We always appreciate your expert cat opinion.
Wouldnt it be safer for the cats to have a smaller holed mesh to enclose the area to keep out harmful bugs ?
Hello Jackson! I am sure it would be if we live in an environment with harmful bugs, fortunately this is not the case here.
is it good to have a sand area for them? Or put a cat litter protected from rain or nothing outside for litter?
Hi Sylvie! We feel that everybody needs a litter box with clumping litter, only in a covered catio. When ya have to go, ya need a proper place. Sand doesn't clump and it retains odors too.
@@OurCatioHome thank you very much
What does it smell like?
Hello Dawn, well, it smells like the back yard.
That was a wonderful upload, keep up the good work my friend :)
Thank you very much! We enjoy your work as well!
Heyy! Can you do a video about how to build catio around trees. I would love to have some real trees growing in my catio❤Your videos are very inspiring
We appreciate you. Got a vid you may find helpful regarding your very questions. czcams.com/video/2ChevQYCsjc/video.html
@@OurCatioHome thankyou🌻
Love this ! Your catio is honestly gorgeous!❤
Thank you so much!!
Love the video, it covered everything a person needs to know about building their feline friends a great place to enjoy and be safe.❤️
We kindly thank you mariannebre1 for the comment and visit!
Overkill 👎🏻
We appreciate your visit all the same.
Outstanding tips and advice. Is that a dedicated litter box at 2:55 ? If so where did you get it and what are the dimensions? We’re currently using storage containers because the typical litter box is too small.
Thank you for the visit and the question. That's a stainless steel large litter box that was purchased online at amazon. It's a more expensive but it is something that will last a lifetime., and it cleans well.
👍🏼😽
💜💜💜
cant wait to see more! im not at the point where i can have a catio myself, but your beautiful catio gives me so many ideas! thanks for sharing these videos :)
Yay! Thank you for the visit and kind words!
How often do you replace the zip ties. I have found that they dry and crack.
Hey Judy, we have learned the hard way that using heavy duty zip ties perform best.
I wonder if you have snow and freezing conditions. We are faced with both so everything needs to be winter proof. Thanks I love your videos.
Yes Judy, we have 4 seasons too! So far there is no worries, we just close the catio when it is very cold or hot as the case next week.
I love the outdoors that you have provided for your cats. I want to get mine outdoors. I want them to be safe at the same time. Your video gives me ideas
Oh many thanks and we are glad you are inspired Judy!
Do you use treated wood? I'm building a small window catio but I'm worried about use treated wood
Yes, we do use treated lumber, it is now safe and free of the cancer causing chemicals. Let us know how your mini catio turns out...
Wow! What an entreating video! Thank you our friend! Cats are like me- we like quiet. : )
Thanks for visiting, your sweet kitty cat friends know what is best!
Wow, that is an awesome way to have kitties outside and still get fresh air and exercise, plus live a safe life. When I had an apt I screened in my patio for my cats but not anything like this. Very lucky cats. I take it the other cats are all in the house since we only see one in the catio.
Thank you Kathleen for the visit and comments. I'm sure your cats loved your screened catio! Cats are always on their own terms, when I want to film, I'm lucky to have at least one participant. The others come and go as they please. Sabrina was our star at that time..... The catio is 5 years old now and we are still very grateful for it.
HAPPY FRIDAY 😻🥰😃 I was SO HAPPY to see your post … wish “this” was your “full-time” job …lol …I just love your videos SO MUCH Your garden is a site for “my” SENSES ..let alone a cat 🤦♀️🥰💕😘 Hugs …have a beautiful weekend …and HAPPY SUMMER ❣️😈😽😈😻 Bobbi 💋💋💋
You are more than kind Bobbi! Wishing you a happy summer as well! Cheers.
Great, helpful tips on this video, and well-presented too. Content and presentation are spot on.
Much appreciated!
Bless your hearts❤🥰🥰🥰
Labor of love!
Is all of it chicken wire? Because that’s so bendable I probably wouldn’t use that for the main structure. I guess depends if you have coyotes where you live. I will be getting a cat cage in a few days from Home Depot that has two levels and I’m thinking about well I was thinking about running some sheet metal along the bottom because I do have a couple of tomcats walking through my backyard but then maybe I’ll use that corrugated plastic that you were using for your roof Probably less expensive. Just don’t want the neighborhood cats to stick their paws through and scratch mine
Thanks for the visit and question. No, we do not use chicken wire and do not recommend it for the reasons you mentioned. If I may, I would monitor your cats before leaving them outdoors all night unattended. You may also want to consider an escape route should they be overwhelmed with stray cats. We do have coyotes too but they don't come in our backyard which is 6foot fenced in. One more point, we typically bring our cats in at nighttime too.
@@OurCatioHome was so tired when I wrote that I meant the coated wire I have the same stuff to block off part of my backyard good thing is that it’s bendable bad thing is that it’s bendable 🤣😹
Appreciate the update! All the best for your cats.
@@OurCatioHome yes the cat cage is waiting for me at Home Depot. I’ll probably videotape the first time the cats go inside.
How do you keep the spiders away from it? Here where I live, spiders would build their webs all over and inside this catio..
I appreciate your visiting question. We have spiders as well. During the seems like web season I'll take a stick and knock down the webs everyday. It's just one of those things in cohabitating with nature.
@@OurCatioHome That's some dedication. However, our catio is a fraction of the size of yours yet there's no way that keeping the webs at bay here with a stick (tropical Australia) would be possible. 🕸
Ohhh, did not realize you have that many spiders there. Going to look at your channel now.
@@OurCatioHome Thanks, but you won't find anything of interest there. I'm not really into posting videos on CZcams. Cheers!
Love this catio!!! Roomy and sensible for cats'needs too. Looks like there's a tree inside the catio? If so, that's the best feature, cuz they can climb and sit up high in it's branches!!! Brilliant!!! Those kitties must love you big time!! Thank you for sharing your video tips❤😻
Thank you Linda for the kind words and visit. Yup, it's a tree. We love the cat too.
