- Hi there,
We were throught a garden transformation and decided to add a Catio project for our three indoor Oriental Cats.
So Malaki, Mambo and Tobias could have a safe outdoor space to be and have a better quality life.
We had no ideia the end result would turn up so beautiful and become a cat paradise for them.
Was my favority thing we make in our garden.
If you are a cat person you will enjoy a lot this video!
Thanks for watching
Cheers
Sue

You two are incredible; designing and constructing that beautiful catio that all while caring for a young baby!!! Really an inspiration! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Make me feel very happy to read your message 🌹🌸🌼🌻
The harmony of this deign floors me.
Thanks ☺️
Excellent job on your catio- so cool incorporated with your garden!
Thank you! 😊
Muito legal!! Parabéns!
Muito obrigada!!!
Cats forever.
that is so cool! Now I also want to do something nice for my cat
Please do ☺️ they will love it 😻
I have a simple enclosure and playpen at the moment but this is the dream, create a full cat playground
It is so worth it! They love so much and with all the plants around they have so much space to hid and looks like a jungle🍃
@@onthemountainpaths My new cat loves her playpen so much. She's never been outside before so she loves to watch the sky, birds and bugs
well done guys, looks geat, especially the parts blended with the plants.
Tudo bem like you said 😁
Thanks so much! ❤️ obrigada 🙏
31:09 The music is the Swedish national anthem! I’m Swedish 🤣😂🇸🇪
😂😂😂 really? I didn’t know that at all.
So sorry for your loss of Mambo; may your hearts be healed by the Love you share. ❤ Love your catio and garden! I wish I had a space to do that; the best I could do is to put a 5 ft x 4 ft x 2 ft three-level cage up against my sliding glass door. I'm in a condo without any area to grow/garden and only a 2 ft wide space in back and in front a patio that gets scorchingly hot for at least 6 months of the year (in the desert SW of the USA). But my cats forgive me and spend what time they can out in their cage. I put up shade cloth but it's too hot by 10am so they come inside in the air conditioning until the afternoon.
Thanks for your lovely message!! I cried like a baby making this video, going through all the pictures and videos from my Mambo. He was such a special cat 🐈⬛
What about if you make something like a pergola and plant a vine that can cool the space? The vine work as a sun shade and helps to cool down things…Do you think could be possible? Also making a pergola can be cat and human area.
I’m studying Permaculture at the moment and my teacher was mentioning this to help to cool the house down during the summer months.
Let me know if you will try it! Good luck 🤞
@@onthemountainpaths I innerstand (been there, done that, as a cat parent). Lovely suggestion about the pergola. Unfortunately, no, I can't do that. I have a condo in an HOA, with very strict rules...and no outdoor space to do anything like that. I currently have a sun shade but the position of the sun is such that it shines right through the gap between front patio wall and sunshade (and the entry path). My door gets hot enough to burn by 2pm and only gets worse until around 7pm, when the sun is obscured by the mountain. If I could move, I would.
@@DrValerie800 Oh what a pity! I wish you could build one, it's so much fun to watch them!
@@onthemountainpaths I bet! I have fun just watching them jumping up to the cage platforms to take naps. Someday. 🙏
You are amazing cat parents. I love how it all came together. I have a catio but am currently researching tunnels. :)
Thanks ☺️ the tunnels that gave the magic for our catio, they loved to hide and seek. Was amazing watching them 🥰
I love the way the plants incorporated into the tunnel & arbor! You need a few pole bird feeders to attract more attractions for the babies' ❤interests! I like how you have included the dog & chickens into the space😊!!! It's way better than a few cat toys here & there, more naturally interactive😂!!! You have Hearts of Gold💛💫!!!
@@marshawargo7238 Thanks so much for your message! We had a pole bird feeders next to tree. They loved to watch the birds!! 🥰
Thanks for sharing this adorable story. I built a catio for my cats, too. 😊 Sue, seu sotaque me pareceu familiar até que te ouvi falando em português. Meus sentimentos pela perda do Mambo. O seu carinho com seus felinos me emocionou. ❤
Muito obrigada por sua mensagem ❤
The cats enjoyed the catio too!!
Amazing!! 👏👏👏😍
Thank you! Cheers!
Much much much love it
So lovely to hear that🥰
Menuda pasada de planos con los gatos jajaj
Eu poderia ficar assistindo horas e horas esse vídeo, ele ficou lindo e inspirador, conscientizar as pessoas da importância de poder ter um lugar externo para os gatinhos, um dia vou conseguir fazer para os meus esse espaço, sei que eles precisam ter esse contato com a natureza, é qualidade de vida. Parabéns para os dois, ficou fantástico, tudo que vocês foram fazendo no jardim ficou muito lindo.
Amei conhecer esse espaço e um pouco dos gatinhos.
Sinto muito pelo Mambo.
Que bom que você gostou guria. Eu curti muito fazer e o melhor eles amavam o Catio! Obrigada por sempre estar por aqui. 🥰
@@onthemountainpaths 😍😍 quando eu me mudar para uma casa pretendo fazer um Catio
@@steffeneotowicz2111 eu também, eles sentem myita falta!
@steffeneotowicz2111 I saw a couple who rent & couldn't put up a catio. So they just built a screened box for the window! It has brackets to hold it onto the ledge & is wider than the window. They can still open & close it & put a pillow in for laying on. It was built with a bit of an angle for rain runoff. They have a bird feeder close for entertainment & it has partial shade from a tree. But if there were no trees, you could cover half of it❤!!! AND it can be taken when moving! Bonus!!!
Just a little heads up be careful what plants you put near the catio as some are toxic to cats n dogs ( sweet peas being one of them, also clematis, and also bean plants i just worry the cats will eat them and make them sick😊), great work
Hi Lisa, yes you’re right! I was aware of that, but seems they were never really interesting to eat those. Just Malaki had snap some green beans sometimes. I also had tons of cat mint and cat grass for them inside the cage. Thanks for your message 🌹 and welcome to my channel
Beautiful kitties.
Thank you! 😊
This is just amazing!! 🤩
Thanks☺️
You did good job, l like ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ooh thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️
I know it was hard work but I admire that you two did this yourselves! Maybe I will do something similar to yours but with help! Thank you for the inspiration! 😁
I have received estimates for a catio but the cost is outrageous for even a small catio.) 😞
So lovely to read your comment🥰 we love to make things ourselves, it’s definitely harder but there is a difference feeling when you’re using it and you know how was done every corner.
Makes me very happy our Catio can inspire more people!
Thanks for watching 😊
❤💔💖
Thanks for watching and welcome here ❤️🥰
Very nice Catio. Did they get rid of the rats though? seems like they couldn't chase the rats from their catio.
Thanks 🙏 hahahaha no, but they did caught mice time to time and even a giant slug 🫠 we just need to control the hens food instead and the rats was going to the neighbours bird feeder’s instead 🐀
Kkkkķkk
Your husband did a great job in building this catio!
My husband and me were a good team! ❤️🐈⬛
She designs it! It’s so beautiful
I will add so did you because for what I could see you both did just as much work and you'd nit long had a baby 😊
Is that really a rat? It's very fat! For a second I thought you lived in Australia and wanted to protect this native wildlife (looks like a Potoroo almost)
Yes, it was! It was the size of a rabbit! 😣
A great video that would be better without the loud background music.
I will make a note for my next videos. Thanks for your message.🙂
I'm sorry not sorry. The music selections here are VERY strange to me personally.
Someone else said the same thing, maybe I didn’t pay much attention when selecting 🧐 I’m not professional and trying to learn to do better. I will definitely will pay more attention in the future! Thanks for your message! So I can learn with my mistakes! Cheers
I agree, the music is distracting and annoying. Maybe just add bird sounds next time.
Idk-I'm just watching on mute
It’s not that bad. I didn’t pay it any attention. 🤷🏾
