Our new Catio tour and build. A tour of our Catio and some ideas for cat habitat enrichment.
I like how you gave them an "outhouse". 😆 They are spoilt rotten. I 💘 this catio.
What a kind man you are!
My babies were just murdered by the new neighbors dogs. We have lived here peacefully in the woods, away from the road and any near neighbors with no trouble for my precious ones for 20 years. I am heartsick about my sweet boy, Tigger and my precious Miss Kitty. I am so miserable without them and lonely. Your video brightened up my day with this wonderful catio and seeing how happy your babies are. It gives me hope that one day when my grief lightens, I will be able to have something like this built as a safe place for future fur babies.
Sorry about your babies, I'm glad our video brightened your day. Thank you! Check out Catio Living on Instagram instagram.com/catio_living/
I’m deeply sorry about your sweet babies. It sounded horrendous. It’s a cliche but time does heal a little bit xxxx
LOVE. PEACE. God Bless
You should press charges!! Dogs can’t be doing that. Depends where you live but the owners would get in big trouble here. Ppl can’t have dangerous dogs.
@@tfoxx17 I'm way out for in a rural area. The county only has animal control in the city limits and the Sheriff's department won't come out unless a human has been bitten.
Freaking obsessed! All the thoughtful touches...bird feeders and the giant litter box, a fountain!? So inspiring!
bird feeders, better thant TV ! and cats are not becoming predators outside ..... this catio is awesome, day and night, they can throw parties there !
So pleased to see a responsible loving cat owner - keeping the wildlife safe. Thank you.
Hello Kate how's the weather over there
You and your wife really outdid yourselves! This is a fantastic set-up!!!
check us out on Instagram @catioliving lots of info and DM whatever questions you have..

This is a fantastic set-up!!!
It's like a cat resort!!! Those felines are lucky to have you!
You deserve to be very proud. I especially like the concept of the outdoor litter box. Love it and love anyone who loves an animal and understands a cat.
if only it had been cleaned recently
That litter box is great but looks like they could lift the lid from inside and get out !
@@davidriley1737 It's probably lockable, or at least has clips on it to hold the lid down. Ours is locked. (Jan Griffiths).
instaBlaster...
So nice.
It's wonderful to know there are other people out there who really love and understand their animals. It a fabulous catio with a lot of thought put into the project which the cats are really enjoying! 😻🐅🐆❤️
Love and understand animals?! Really? You put animals in a cage while being able to see where they could walk around in if only they would not be put in this catio! To me that comes close to torturing them and that is only done because we put our human ways on them. That has nothing to do with understanding them! Cats are individually living creatures that naturally have their own large territory to roam around in! Mostly at night. They have excellent night vision so they don’t need a ligt. I am not saying that these people do not love their cats, but they seem to put their human ways on them and really forgot the fact that they are cats!
Those cats are living the good life.
One of the best cat outdoor enclosures I have seen’ I am thinking of updating my humble catio to something like this. I would suggest planting some cat grass in pots and placing inside the catio for the cats to nibble. They love it and it contains essential nutrients for healthy cats.
❤️😻🐈🐾🌱💕😎
I've heard it helps with their furballs also. This is a great outdoor cat enclosure.
Diane Vitale Yes, the grass does help with the fur balls. Whenever one of my cats starts eating grass over food, it’s usually followed by vomiting a fur ball. 🙀🌱😻🙂
*and removing the poisonous ivy*
Yep. Our catio has the cat grass and catnip as well. Not in pots though; we planted it directly into the ground, and it regrows every spring.
Don't forget to plant some CATNIP!!! LOL!!!
Thanks for sharing - you did an incredible job! Your fur babies are blessed to live their best lives with you...
I wasn’t a cat fan until my sweetheart moved in with me and brought her cat. I was a soon to be goner. That was 15 years ago. I can’t imagine living with out them.
I love the fountain. This is a great way to keep your pets safe and out of other people's gardens.
Thank you! Please check out @Catioliving on Instagram. Thanks!
Those cats really love you! Just the way they respond to you and the way they look at you. It's so sweet Lol ❤
I've been bingeing on catio videos today and this is my favorite. I love the night light, the roof, the multiple platforms for them to stand on, the camera, but most of all your cats!! Thank you for this video. I'm going to build one like this.
awesome your cats will love it!
One of the best catios I've seen. Congrats on happy cats.
Thanks!
So nice! And they are happy. They love it.
I LOVE it. Love the outdoor litter box. With the cat door exiting to a screened in area, no worries about uninvited guests into the house, like raccoons :) I want this catio attached to a tiny house :)
The Catio was screened with chicken wire. I like that a lot!!! Keeps out mice, rats, squirrels...rabies exposure gone.
I have a tiny house and I want THIS on the back.
great job! this is the best catio i've ever seen. they've got quite the view too. love the birdfeeders nearby, the trees and litter area. what lucky kitties :) definitely gives me some inspiration. thanks for sharing!
Provides the stimulation that they dearly need. I hope that they’re not left out at night.
Wireless cameras ....terrific idea.
I like this one the best of all during my binge.
I love the roof design but please remove the ivy plant which is toxic for cats. There is plant called Swedish ivy which is not real ivy and is safe for cats.
Yes, I was concerned about the plants too. Also, about the water unit, whether it might get yucky after awhile, with mold and mildew. It's a good idea, I just don't know that it's safe. Maybe some cat grasses and an actual cat fountain would be better.
Yes!!!I love Ivy but not w pets!!!Great catio!!!Lucky 🐈 's🐾🐾🐾
I got the impression the plants were fake.
Maria E the plants are fake. Take a chill pill
@@KatarinaS. I'm sure they clean out their fountain.
What a great idea to give kitties a beautiful safe outdoor space! Well done.
Those are some lucky & loved fur babies!
This Catio is so nice....It makes me want to be one of your well-loved kitties.
Shouldn't all the babies be named Lucky? Because they are! The area that you live in is lovely. Which state?
I love your Catio !🤗
Your cats have wonderful humans 😎
check us out on Instagram @catioliving lots of info and DM whatever questions you have..
Wow!! The outdoor litter box design is brilliant! And I really like the mats on the shelves. Great idea.
OMG !! This is adorable. No detail is left out. I am not yet a Cat mama but want to adopt two kittens soon. I have a big front porch and was trying to figure out how to cover it up so that it could be used for Cats! Thats what led me here! So heart warming to see someone who adores their Cats!! You are the best Cat Dad!!
Check us out on Instagram @Catioliving for more info
I’ve looked at a million catios - this is the best!
What a well-thought-out design! Planning one for our fur babies and got some great ideas from your catio.
This is the best catio ever. I wish I could have one like it, my cat would love it.
thanks we enjoy it as much as they do!
Beautiful cats and catio. I am going to have one built soon as I can find a builder. I also wanna hang bird feeders just out of their reach and the outdoor litter is a must
A roof too, to enjoy all seasons; so well thought out & what a wonderful, wonderland for your felines!
My cat would love this! Love it!
Would love to have this, we have 4 young cats and this is perfect.
So cool! The cats have their own special place to play and take sunny naps! Great Dad!
Best cat's space I've ever seen.
thank you 😻
Oh my goodness! My cats would enjoy this I bet yours do! Nice safe outdoor space.
Beautiful design and nice view for the cats! I have to agree, however, with some other commenters. Please research plants that are toxic to cats...there are MANY that can cause illness and even death. I would remove the ivy, and some types of ferns are also toxic. Also, the water fountain, unless diligently maintained (a pain to do), is a haven for bacteria, which is not good....stresses the cats' kidneys dealing with it. How about a drip irrigation system, that also waters a tray of cat grass, so they can have fresh water and fresh grass (good for digestion) on a daily basis without a lot of maintenance on your part. The litter box looks like it needs a serious cleaning....again....bacteria haven.
Not meaning to be critical. You did wonderful job with the design and the thoughtful touches. I have two cats that have been with me for 15 and 17 years, and I believe daily fresh water, healthy (non-dry) food, access to fresh air and cat grass, have helped keep them healthy.
What exactly do you feed your cats?
Outdoor litter box is amazing. Beautiful Catio with plants, playground. I love it. I am making catio for my cats too. I like your catio a lot
What a lovely man, wish my other half loved cats as much as he does. It's brilliant.
Please check us out us on Instagram @Catioliving lots of details and catio information. Thanks!

GREAT job on the catio!!! Looks like you have happy kitties! That's beautiful 😸
This is so beautiful. So many thoughtful additions. I especially like the litter box being in the outside. Lucky loved Cats. 👍😸😻
Forgot to mention the awesome shelf brackets!!! 😺

Hello Michelle how's the weather over there
How very wonderful!! They don’t care how it looks...that’s for us. They love being outdoors and this keeps them safe.
Thanks! Please check us out us on Instagram @Catioliving lots of details and catio information.
That is the coolest! I love all of thoughtful touches! Thanks for sharing.
This is the best looking catio I've seen.
Hello Nancy how's the weather over there
That catio is amazing!!!? I wish I could have something like that for my cats!!!
This is my favorite Catio! Put together with tlc and really knowing what their cats like.
Love it. With such a large yard, it could have been even bigger.
wow I want to live in there!!! :P Grand job! What beautiful cats and so blessed to have such caring and amazing humans such as yourselves!
Beautiful catio!!!Awesome design. I'd love to be your cat.
Blessings to a true cat lover.🙏
Best catio design ever! You totally rocked it. Thanks for sharing.
What a cool idea. Kitties can be outside but there's not worry of them running off.
Thank you for sharing! Wonderful catio!💖👍😺
What a GORGEOUS catio!
You guys did a BEAUTIFUL JOB on this! Your LOVE for your PRECIOUS BABIES just shines through all of your efforts! 😊
Thank you for loving your cats & being amazing parents to these Lucky & Awesome Fur Babies!
🐾❤️🐾
Hello Maggie how's the weather over there
Very nice, actually is BEAUTIFUL. I would have made a green (grass) area too inside the catio. FEELING the REAL ground and grass is a must for cats.
yes but keep in mind the grass will get worn down over time and turn to mud in a small space
Wow that is the most awesome Catio I have ever seen!!!! I would so want to chill in there enjoying the beautiful cat's & crocheting while they have fun with my yarn lol. 🥰 Thank you for sharing 💕
This is an AMAZING catio🐈. Thanks for sharing.
That looks great the cats look happier than indoors
Very nice space for your kitties... I want to have one built on my deck for my kitty that lives indoors but wants to spend time outside.
Wow great cat parents!!trying to find a smaller version for my apartment! we should all be so lucky and come back as a cat living like this!
So very nice! The cats must love their new living space🐱🤗
Oh my what beautiful Cats! Great Catio you may want to change the plant you have in there though! Ivy is not safe for cats. some ivy's are more toxic than others. amazing design your cats will love it..we are thinking of doing something like this for our two. really great love it.
Hello Lillie how's the weather over there
I wish my catio looked this good. So many good touches.
What i liked about this design was they are out there for fresh air and sun shine,.. ha ha ha, the get to claw on those branches too....and plenty of room to prawl too! good going man! .....for real!
This is a great design. Beautifully done. I want one for my baby.
I love it and want to go play in there with them!
Absolutely beautiful. Lucky kitties. The only thing I would change though because I hurt my back is I somehow devise a way I could get closer to the cat box when I changed or scooped it, so that I wouldn't have to reach so far down to do so.
Wonderful way to keep your cats safe and entertained at the same time!
Wow catio is amazing! Lucky kitties to have wonderful parents like you.🤗😻
*cats prancing and purring*
🎶 I'm living my BEST liifffee. Ain't going back & forth with you people. Living MY BEST LIFE🎶 🐱😻🐈😸
Yes, check the plants for compatability to cats chewing on them. My cats are always trying to chew on plants they shouldn't. Now I have a plant room they can't go into!! Until spring, then the plants can go out on my porch. Love all the consideration you put into this project!! Enjoy the cat watching!!❤🐈⬛🐈
My daughter’s 12-year-old cat died from eating poinsettia that was in her roommates room. 😢
I love the size of that catio, I can imagine someone living in a small trailer would still have room for such a thing for their cats, and could have vegetables or clematis climbing up the chicken wire or something. For people who have much less space and small trailer could fuse many things into one. And if there was a roof on it, they could use it as a porch to. Yours is great the way it is because you have a lot of both indoor and outdoor space and I love how this idea translates for those who have to put multiple things into one with much less indoor and outdoor space.
Wonderful house for wonderful cats ! Great job!!!!
It is wonderful - more expensive than I can afford but would love to make a smaller one. You did a great job!
Get some pallets for free ! Collect several. 😀
What some lucky kitties! And such a beautiful place you have, I would love to sit out in the catio with all the kitties and sip some iced tea and look out at that beautiful landscape.
Fabulous catio. All cats deserve to be loved like yours are.
Awesome work. That would be a paradise for any house cat 👍 I would suggest you replace the Ivy tho, it can be toxic.
This is amazing. WOW. I cannot tell you enough how nice it is and you for doing this for them .... and yourself, as well.
Hello Grace how's the weather over there
What a fantastic, A-star catio, and the cats look completely at ease in their outdoor home! May I suggest a long container with some dirt and cat grass, so they can lie around in it? All the cats I've had absolutely loved doing that - playtime! 😻
I'll give it to you cat people, your on another level.
That is a great-looking catio! I wish you could build one for me! Thanks for showing it off.
Hello Yvette how's the weather over there
Hello from Brazil ! Congratulations for the Catio. In Brazil, we would say Gátio (gato + pátio)
Hello Stella how's the weather over there
Oh, I LOVE this! I've been saying for years that I should get one built for my three babies. I couldn't build one myself. Just a bit beyond my expertise. I will use your video as a reference when I get one built. Also, your cats are adorable. 🙂👍♥️

Beautiful Catio!!! You and your carpenter friend did lovely job. I love the wooden painted cat silhoettes on the outside too. Ibet the cats love it. Put a chair or two out there so you and your wife can enjoy all that hard work with the kitties.
Please check us out us on Instagram @Catioliving lots of details and catio information. Thanks!
Oh my Godness
I love cats so much
So special and sweets animals.
I have two cats 🥰
Johnny and Nina
Awee thats lovely and perfect.. .way more better if you try to add a small beanbag or a pillow for them to chill😊😊
I love this, it is so cool. Children & animal's come into this world innocent. Every child & animal deserves a good meal snacks included. A warm favorite place to sleep clutching a prized toy or blanket. Plenty of love must be included. I want to be adopted by your cats. ***** 🐈
Great job on your cats catio. Love it
Enjoy all you sweet cats.❤

Wow!! Love your catio! How lucky are your cats!! Like the outside cat litter box idea!
I love your catio!! 😻 You & your wife did an amazing job, it's so beautiful & inviting- what wonderful cat parents you are! ❤️😸❤️
Wow what a Crib for this little fellows!!! Fantastic job you did
This is absolutely gorgeous! Great job and thanks for sharing!
That's absolutely fabulous and your cats are so beautiful ! I feel the love you have for them !
Hello Susan how's the weather over there
Incredible catio!
The cats look so happy with their very own special area!
they love it!
I love that you did this for your cats! You obviously put in a lot of thought and effort. I especially love the cat paw lights and that you put in pieces of wood and plants. Your home looks like a special place with the barn and outdoor area. Very nice and private. Your cats are adorable!
When I lived in Florida I had a nice big, screened pool enclosure and my cats loved it out there. We kept a lot of plants and even some they were allowed to eat. They could watch the birds, squirrels and neighborhood cats and dogs from a safe place. I recently moved to my parent's house in South Carolina and there is no secure outdoor space for them. I feel bad because I know they are bored. They sit in a small room with 2 sets of sliding glass doors to look out at the back yard which has al of trees and is pretty. I need to purchase screens for the doors so they can smell the fresh air and hear the wildlife. It's squirrel city central and my dad has lots of bird houses and feeders outside. The cats love watching the birds and squirrels. Although this home is temporary for me, I'm thinking about building a catio and leaving it for my parents to use for their cat. I think it will be a nice grandfather-daughter-granddaughter project. You have given me a lot to think about. Thank you!
This is a beautiful space lucky kittens
