Transform Your Patio Into a Multi Purpose Catio!

The catio, or cat patio, can be a great way to give your feline the outdoor experience they crave in a safe way. Just a quick search will reveal many catio ideas, made from all sorts of materials. Some catios are small, while others can have so many levels that they look more like an addition on a home! Other catios are made by screening in an entire porch.

Reasons to Consider a Catio

Why would you need or even want to build a cat enclosure outdoors? Your cat’s nature, for one. Felines are hunters who love to roam. While their predatory nature makes them great for controlling pests like mice, cats also consume other prey like songbirds. In fact, the number one cause of songbird deaths is the domestic cat!

In addition to hunting, cats can easily become prey to larger animals like coyotes, contract diseases from the wildlife they encounter, and become hit by cars, attacked by dogs and other wildlife, or simply become lost and never return.

Those with strictly indoor cats may want to give them the experience of being outdoors without the stresses and dangers. Whether your feline friend is an indoor or outdoor cat, you might want to know that your cat is safe every time they venture outside. All of these are great reasons to have an outdoor cat enclosure.

Caveats of Traditional Catios

Unfortunately, the one thing that most traditional catios have in common is that they are static. And so, you’re looking at a significant amount of work and cost for materials when building a catio, or modifying its size, shape or style. Also, temperatures may drop below what’s comfortable for your cat, forcing them indoors.
