- We invite you into the Chirpy Cats' lair. Where the cats sip from the watering hole after a long lazy day of snoozing and bug hunting. For DIY catio inspiration to get you into the mood to build your own cat kingdom! Cat safe plants, vines, and lots of catnip at the catnip tunnel. A cat bridge to watch birds and high-rise condos for our tree dweller cats! Building a catio was the best thing we did for our cats!
Our first DIY catio built in 2013. Start here!

The way to your cat's heart is through his world. It was very important for us to give our cats the best of both worlds. By merging the safety of indoor living with a safe outdoor catio space, we created the perfect catio kingdom for our cats to explore.
When building a catio start out simple! You can always add different sections such as the cat tunnels later. The cats will also let you know what is working and what is not! They'll surely have their input. :)
Wow! Such great ideas here-we will incorporate some into our Catio. Much thanks!!!
Goodness, this is a beautiful space!
Thank you 😊
Your cats’ catio is just wonderful. I love all the plants and hiding spots. Very well done. You are wonderful to have so many cats. 😻
Oh, thank you so much. ❤ It’s almost summer again and we’re looking forward to more catio time with the kitties.
I really like how the catio is integrated with the garden. Seems a lot more organic and natural. Well done!
This is an absolute Paradise for the kitty's !!! OMG, it's just Beautiful !!! 😍❤️
Wow!! Lucky cats
Thank you! 😊🐈
wonderful❣❣❣
One of the most aesthetic while 100% functional catios I've seen. I love all the greenery! I won't even have a home for several years but will definitely use this for inspiration the day I can build a catio.
Thanks so much 😀 and I hope you get to build a catio one day.
This is truly amazing 😻 Lucky cats 🐈
This is my favourite Catio build so far that I've come across and I've seen many haha. I love how intertwined with nature it is. The vines and plants all around, plus the water fountain really create a different feeling! This video was already relaxing, I can't imagine how much all the cats enjoy their space!
So amazingly beautiful 😻
Absolutely wonderful everything I dream of making for all the wild cats the homeless that have found me xx❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
I'm inspired, thank you! Your cats look so happy.
Love your whimsical catio with all the plants, tunnels and hiding places! When we were looking for design ideas before ours was built, yours was an absolute inspiration.
Thank you so much! And I’m so glad to hear our catio provided some inspiration. 😸 We keep adding more sections each year, it’s so much fun. By the way, I love what you did with your catio too!
Wow love your catio lots of inspiration!
I like that you made a lot of routes and levels they can travel on, spying locations and you put plants in great places, Cat's like plants and rustic and fresh water and peek-a-boo spots to observe from and hide in. So, really nice job. Also not too many dead ends to bottle neck, cats like escape routes as well! Thanks
One of the nicest catios I've seen on CZcams... Beautiful...
343 Like beautiful great job well done
I love your catio! You really don't need to spend lots of money, but one thing that makes cats happy is the contact with nature. Also bathing in the sun and high spots. Congratulations for all the caring for the cats.
Thank you! Absolutely! I wanted to provide my cats with the best of both worlds in a safe environment to explore their wild side. 👍🏼
My favorite catio so far! Thank you for sharing. I got more ideas on how to make one.
Nice. Great ideas.
Isn't that amazing! So wonderful. I lost track of how many cats there are. They all look incredibly happy on the catio! Well done!
Thank you 😊 There’s 9 cats and they all have their favourite spots.
I really like the catio.. and that watering hole was cool! what a cool place for your cats!
Thank you 😊
Your Cats have the best Life!
ha ha thank you 😊 The cats certainly also enrich our lives too!
Lovely! This is truly a work of art.
Awwe thank you!
Your catio is so beautiful, it all feels so calm and peaceful, probably because of the lush greens and the little fountain - a kitty's paradise. All the best for you and your lovely furr babies 😻
Awwe thank you so much for your kind words and best wishes. It is indeed our tranquil space 😊
This is awesome
Thank you!
It's like a faerie garden for cats :') It's magical!
OH thank you! That's exactly what I strive to create for these lovable monsters lol
Love this‼️💜
We are going to build a catio for our cat. She was feral, & decided to live with us. She’s fine with us, but doesn’t trust anyone else, so she gets very stressed if we go away & put her in a cattery. So we figured she would be happier on her own home ground, where a friend can come & feed her if we go away. If any strangers stay in our house, she won’t come anywhere near, so that’s not an option.
Thanks for the inspiration.....it’s fantastic!
Oh my! That’s fantastic that you’re building a catio to make her own space. So glad you found inspiration here! 😻 Good luck!
Chirpy Cats thank you 🙏😁
What's not to love?
Would you mind making a blueprint or floor map of how your catio is laid out? I think that would be the most helpful! Thank you so much. Your catio is inspirational and you are so creative 😍
Thank you! I don't have a blueprint but working on a simple design, thanks!
Your catio is absolutely beautiful and obviously so wonderful for your happy cats who are living their best lives. What an inspiration this was for me. I have a balcony I turned into a catio but I look forward to a day when I can really go full out in my own yard with a magical place for my cats like this.
this is the most wholesome catio I've ever seen, kudos to you!!
What a beautiful catio!
Thank you Debbie 🤗
😮❤
My cats are so jealous!
Ha ha thank you! How about a virtual play date 😸
FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!😮💕💕💕
Thank you!
Very lovely catio and inspirational! How do you keep your plants pests free without harming cats?
Hi there! Thank you so much! I mostly plant cat-safe plants that don’t attract many pests. Catnip in hanging baskets repel almost all pests. The Swedish Ivy that cascades out of the pots are totally pest free too. The annuals such as impatiens, ornamental grasses and polka dot plant are also great choices. If I need to get rid of tiny aphids I will spray with a mixture of neem oil and Castille soap.
I also don’t treat for spiders and leave them be! I do think that keeping them part of the ecosystem is super beneficial for the perfect balance in our catio garden! 😸👍🏼
@@chirpycats thank you so much for your reply. It is very kind of you. Much appreciated. I will definitely look into those plants when I build a catio in the future. Maybe it is just my location that has a lot of garden pests. Mainly aphid and spider mites infestation. Even in snow, I can still see some aphids hanging under the leaves!
This is gorgeous. I seen in another comment that you've been adding on a little bit each year. I'll have to see if I can find where you started. Really wish I could do this. Big thumbs up. 😊🐈👍
Hi! Thanks so much! Check the first link in the description. That’s how we started with the first basic structure of our catio in 2013 and then later added the tunnels and skywalks. 😊
Oh this looks like so much fun 💛 😘😍
Perfect
Nicely done!!!
you did a real good job. Personally I would go higher ceilings to give more layers and intrigue!
😍😍😍😍😍👍❤
what kind of fencing wire did you use?
Hi there! I used 16 gauge galvanized fencing wire. I also recommend going with a smaller 1.5”x1.5” grid to keep smaller critters and birds out. Hope that helps! 😀
