Could they climb the inside of a long tube like this, if it was mounted vertically?
Hard to say, suppose if it is no more that 30 degrees and with carpet. Let us know how your project turns out.
Thank you, this really helped me!!
I'm so glad!
What a great play area!! I bet they never want to go inside after being in that gorgeous outdoor playground! My daughter just bought a house. She has 3 cats that are always trying to get out to eat the grass. She, we don't have much money to build a room like yours but I'm going to try to at least make a small area that I can build on later. We live in the New Orleans suburbs and if you've ever been down here in the summer, you wouldn't want to be outside very long. We only have a few months of cool weather. Seems lately it's either hot or cold!! It was in the 70's on Christmas day! There are only a few months when the cats would even want to be outside. I guess I'm just trying to justify why we can't build 1 like yours. You did give me a few ideas. I've got a roll of coated welded wire and 2 x 4's, along with a few wood shelves for the roof and some walls for support. I don't really know what to do but it's better then not trying at all. Thanks for you really nice videos. I hope ya'll had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year too!!😊 Oh, should I make 4 screened frames 1st then attach them together? She wants them to be on the grass so no floor, maybe in the back area for support. It'll probably be a 4' x 8' "room" for now. Any suggestions? Thanks again!
Wow, you are doing so much and I am sure your daughter and the cats will love it. Sounds like you are off to a great start, just take your time and include things that you know your cats like, like the grass in your design. You are a great Mom, you have great ideas! Please keep us posted.
Just found your channel tonight. Great music. This was hilarious. New subscriber.
Welcome! We appreciate the love and hope you enjoy our other videos.
How do you keep that black and white cat from jumping over the top of that square fence you made. It's sitting up there on a board in the tree. It don't jump out?
Hello and thanks for the visit and question. Well, the tree is covered in fencing wire in a dome shape. The tree can grow and cats can climb.
@OurCatioHome oh that's cool. I stopped the video and I cannot see the netting. I need to build something like this. My adopted cat of 9 years, started disappearing for 2 days at a time last summer, I got tired of worrying. Got fox, coyotes, all kinds of predators out here in the western North Carolina/SC borderline. I have kept my cat indoors now, since just before hurricane Helene hit on September 27th. Too much debris outside. Dangerous. All the downed trees and sticks everywhere. I need to build her a catio & exercise / play areas. She's not getting exercise indoors. This cat loves the outdoors and she's had access anytime, coming and going on this 2 acres as she pleased. Thinking about putting up wall stairs in my 800 sq ft cabin. Any suggestions like that for a small space, for now, something cheap for me to do? I have a very tight budget. Thank you. I really love your channel & what y'all have done there. That's taken a lot of work. I have been finding scrap materials to use... wood, carpet, wire and screening, thinking of a wire enclosed cat walk like you have. I just didn't know how to do the top wire. I still want her inside with human & dog contact too. I need a staple gun now. Never thought I would have a cat. I am in love with this cat and she's in love with me. Now I understand why people love cats. Her disappearances were scaring me when she came back looking thinner. I think maybe she found a feral cat friend and she was disappearing with that other kitty. I've only briefly seen it twice. I had this one and her son, and I believe a fox got the young 6 month baby. Someone dumped her here in the country with five kittens, on a day that was over a hundred degrees. They were so thirsty and hungry. I found homes for all the kittens but one, so I had kept the two cats. Now it's just her and my dog. After 8 years they're finally getting along well. Lol. I want to keep this one safe. She's such a beautiful sweet mama kitty. Fixed and spoiled rotten. I even buy vintage heating pads for her winter bedding, that have no auto shut off, so she's got access to warmth in the window, in her bed, anytime she wants it. She absolutely loves that warm spot in the 8 ft tall window. She needs exercise though. She's never been fond of toys. She likes real life things outside... the predator cat instinct, catching mice, lizards, small baby snakes etc. I can't afford more vet bills for more animals, at my age. My dog needs surgery so more cat friends for her is not a financial option. Never thought I would want to keep her indoors. The worrying just got to me. I don't want to lose her like that. That baby boy cat disappearing & seeing that big fox, absolutely broke my heart. I still think about him every day. I want this one safe, healthy and happy.
luvs it. guessing no HOA.
Hey Jim, correct guess! Thanks for the visit.
4:24 Remember to that they must have a shaded section away from the sun and a section where they can get full sun. When doing the roof make sure it is not flat, make sure it is tilted for rain run off. Cats need company, so do not have them all the time in the catio. Have a day inside the home with you to. Alternate days if you have to. I built mine under a mulberry tree and when it is in season my cats love watching the birds feed off the berries. Regular floor maintenace is a must to.
Thank you for sharing these important points. We would love to see your catio under that Mulberry tree. Please let us know if it is posted...
Snowshoes! Yah!!!!
Very nice! You are so handy! : ) 💛🧡🖤🤎😼😽🐈🐈⬛
You are too kind!
Abby was either excited or spooked. 😊🤍
You are very good cat whisperer. Abby was spooked...
How many catios you recommend for about 16 cats?
Hello friend, wow; that is a great question. I am not sure, it would depend on how large the catio is. I have seen large catios on cat rescue sites.
@OurCatioHome they don't have one but I have a freind that has about 15 cats and I plan moving with her with my boy and Milo seems to prefer the outdoors
More vids please!
Simon!!❤❤❤ He's still got it 😂😂😂 I've missed your shorts ❤😂
Awww, thank you ever so much!!!!
Great video! I hope people put your link, or title, in the comment section of many catio videos so they can be better educated and keep their fur balls safe. 🐈🐈⬛🐱
Aww, we appreciate you so much!!! Thank you for the visit to.
👀 😂
Meow meow.
I am resourcing materials to build my own catio. I am subscribed to your channel because I always find the content useful. One area that could be a disaster is the type of wood coatings or staineds that are used. Can you advise which coatings/ stains you use. Thanks.
Welcome Trevor! We hope to see your catio online after the build. We use minwax stains and have never had any concerns with it.
I'm glad to see someone paid attention to what cats like/need - a place to hide, a spot for privacy, real grass and dirt alongside smooth walks - no scorching hot concrete - instead lots of wood, trees, plants incl catnip - room to roam and play and hang out. It shouldn't be solely a tribute to someone's impressive carpentry skills or colorful creativity - nothing wrong with either, in fact that's what makes it a unique fun project for both the kitty and the human. It should be all about the kitties - that could include rainbow crystals they can chase in the sunshine and cool carpentry cut outs for their hidey holes or clever macrame swings or beautifully designed lounge areas with no gravel to poke their feet.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, we agree, and strive to keep those things in mind!
Could you make a video of what locks to use for a catio that will keep it safe from theifs?
Hello friends! You won't believe it but, we had already made something like this. ruclips.net/video/F8YhMLDs5rU/видео.html
@OurCatioHome I dont use padlocks I find it to hard I can never figure out how to put those codes. What mesh should I use cause yesterday I noticed my cat nail was cut way to short and I don't know what happened but my guess is it was from climbing the mesh in his catio even though he doesn't have to climb he can easily get to the higher shelfs if he jumped
how big is the first catio?
Hello friends, it's about 6'x70'
@OurCatioHome wow! One day I'd like to make one that big when I move but I want to remake the one I have in a few months. Did you also make a frame for the roof or just drilled it in? My yard right now doesn't have alot of space and if I extend it a bit more the sides might not be even
Ah wish we had this much roooooooom. In our small two bed apartment we have 16 cats, 3 are rescue rest born in home.....
Hello, we appreciate all that you are doing for your cat family and hope that one day you will have more space too!!!!!
@@OurCatioHome thanks for your kind reply. More pictures and videos at @Tanvir
Thanks for the LOLs : D
We hope you enjoyed it!
Can you make a video of where to buy all those tool you used to make the catio and the stuff like the staple gun I've looked on temu but there's alot of options there
I love all your suggestions. And again, thank you so much for returning to our channel! We appreciate you. Our staple gun works with an air compressor, which came from Amazon. It's a good idea to suggest a video with tools and so forth..
How do you keep your cats from getting cold outside?
Nice to see you again Paw Trails! We limit the catio visit time on cold days.
@OurCatioHome ah. How did you get your gets to all get along?
I've become addicted to your channel. Can you make videos on cat litter recommendations for catios
We are happy to hear this and will see about it. Thank you for all the visits, cheers!!!!
How did you make the catio door ? And doorknob?
We show you how in this vid: ruclips.net/video/PN0YyHDBM5E/видео.html 😻 The door knobs were purchased.
@OurCatioHome how did you add the door knobs tho?
Ever thought about making a specific catio room just for litter boxs?
Hello, the litter box is in our main catio which is covered. I clean it out everyday too. With that being said, no thoughts of another catio room.

amazon.
@OurCatioHome what's it called I've been looking everywhere for one but people tell me they need compressors which is very expensive
I wish there was a video of how to make your catio. I bought a small on for my apartment yard cause there's a tree in the middle of the yard so I can't close it up. And there's plants that need the sun so yeah
I'll take a look at your page.....
@OurCatioHome I plan to remake the one I bought so I can add the litter box room cause the one I bought the wood is very thin and I also don't know what litter to get for outside
Can use show us a tour of the whole catio?
Love to show ya: ruclips.net/video/cin9jBXPjPA/видео.html
What cat litter do you use?
Thank you for the question, we use a clumping litter.
@OurCatioHome what kind? I recently bought a catio for my cat but don't know what litter I should use
Do you cats live in the catio?
They call come in at bedtime. Do your cats?
@OurCatioHome I recently got a catio I usually leave milo there during mornings until the afternoon
Do your cats live in the catio?
They all come in a bedtime.
Milo does that in his catio

This is a really good video. Lots of great info that many people might not know or might not realize. I'm very glad this came up under the search for "building an outdoor cat enclosure". I've already got a lanai(Florida speak for a screened enclosure with a roof and floor that is attached to the house. much like a back porch) that I reinforced with wire fence, but my cat still wants to get out and play in the dirt and the grass. I'm looking for inspiration on what to add onto the lanai.
Thanks so much for sharing your plans! We hope you post photos of your final build.
chicken wire isnt good for chickens either unless you want the coons and possums to tear though and ear ypur chickens
