A great idea if you want to keep your cat healthy and safe. Just because someone has a huge back yard doesn't mean the cat will stay in it. It's a cat nature to roam.
My last cat Wilson (2007-2016 R.I.P.) Got hit by a car at 2 years old and survived, then got eaten by a coyote at 9 years old. :-( I've been without a cat for the last 3 years. I am planning to build a safe habitat for our next cat, hopefully this summer we'll adopt a new friend. Thanks for your video.
Two cats or more in a catio is the best chemistry..... I have three and they go crazy playing and enjoying their outdoor experience togeather ❤️ I adopted two kittens for my fur baby and they go crazy togeather in the catio every day 🤣🤣
What about a small water feature in there in the middle where that cat is laying down I bet she Would love to hear the water And maybe do a little playing in it to
I am really quite shocked at the negative comments on this video. Thanks for sharing a really beautiful catio. The effort that went into the design is amazing. We are working on our catio now and I am taking inspiration from beautiful catios like yours. I read you have 5. How do they do together? I’ve been concerned about how mine will handle if they fight. I actually have a sanctuary with rescues and while most all of them get a long well there are still 2-3 boys that fight. One chases and the others run for their lives.
Some people will complain about anything. My cats love it and so do I. Sometimes there is a roadblock and one cat doesn't want to move to let one by in the tunnels, but they always work it out. They are very patient and wait their turn. Thank you for your kind remarks!
@@carolstalions5830 Haha that is definitely very true. I just kept reading one after another thinking to myself, “who says this stuff to a stranger, that has shared their hard work?” Id hate to be a family member or friend, talk about hyper critical. Lol What a head scratcher! You are very welcome. I appreciate you sharing. I will post video of ours once we finish. I am sure the negative Nancy’s will do their best to let me know what they don’t like and maybe what they think I should change. 🤣
Is the top of the enclosure actually open or do you have the screening material up there too? I love your idea! The tunnel leading to the enclosure is a great idea too. You have a very lucky kitty!
Maybe having some lawn would be nice for the cat, with some shade and catmint, long grass. Surrounded by green but none of it close for your cat to lay on, sniff etc
These things that people build are awesome but I'm always puzzled they don't use smaller mesh screen to keep out bees/wasps. Only thing after that is I'd be worried about flea infestation.
We considered smaller screen but the pet screen was rather expensive. Might do that in the future. As long as you keep up with flea meds the fleas aren't a problem.
Uggh is right. We have subdivision HOAs to thank for that. It isn't enough that the government wants to control every facet of our life we have our neighborhoods doing it.
My cats get yard time when I can be outside with them. They can go out to the cathouse anytime they want. I don't think they feel cheated. They are pretty lucky!
The two aren’t mutually exclusive. A cat can live safely and have a contented life simultaneously. What’s wrong with being kept safe? And that breezy, wide-open enclosure is hardly a mere "cage". It’s a beautiful set-up. All cats should have one!
My cats love it! They can go outside anytime of the day for fresh air and to watch the birds and such. I still let them out in the yard when I can supervise them. Otherwise they have full run of a 3 story house.
They get lots of yard time as long as I can be out with them. This is for when I am away or can't take them out or when I am sleeping at night. They can go out anytime they want fresh air or to watch the critters and seem to love it and I know they are safe. I would say it is a lot better than keeping them in my house all day or letting them roam the neighborhood and get hit by a car or eaten by a coyote.
why a cage when you have a huge garden? Let her free.Cage is cage. no contact to other animals notr enough movement no exploring. A very bad example, i am shoked.
susiezyp what??? Cats her roam free outdoors are susceptible to get hit by a car, get attacked by dogs, get in fights with cats, get diseases and parasites, etc. this person lets them explore AND be safe. Why are you nit picking?
Love the idea but I think apart from the bit at the end , its kinda ugly , probably would look a whole lot better being 6 foot off the ground so you could walk under it instead of around it and theres a lot of wood....looks like a over kill , its only a cat not a lion LOL,,but idea is great.
very nicely done. the cat walk is a beautiful addition to the habitat you had built. i look forward to making some outdoor space for my cats.
A lovely arrangement. You must have very happy cats.
Not only a useful enclosure, but a beautiful work of art! Well done! LIKED and SUBSCRIBED!
The cat probably don't even know how good he/she has it. That's one loved cat!
Wow! Very artistic. It compliments your landscaping very well. Happy Fur Babies!😃
I love yours because it is so big and luxurious
Its so beautiful🐾😻 every cats dream. But if I was a cat I would be a bit peaky and want the catio more surrounding the grass🤗🐾
We tried grass but the cats would use it for a litter box. We prefer it staying clean and letting them use the real litter box indoors.

Small garden is a great finishing touch for the cats
I let my cats out in my garden quite often as long as I can stay to watch over them. I've trained them to stay in the yard pretty good.

Cat has many different places to rest, chooses the ground @1:51 😂😂
Very nice!

Gorgeous. Just hope you double checked to make sure that plant in the cat house isn't poisonous.
You should have more cat!
What about a small water feature in there in the middle where that cat is laying down I bet she Would love to hear the water And maybe do a little playing in it to
Beautifully unique. X
Beautiful

You people are so crazy, so count me in! because I did the same for all of my cats, yes I am as crazy too!!!!
Your cat would probably love to share this space with another kitty. You should get her a friend.
Looks like he has a friend already , right hand corner of the sliding door 3:11
We currently have 5 cats and they all love it@
Is the top of the enclosure actually open or do you have the screening material up there too? I love your idea! The tunnel leading to the enclosure is a great idea too. You have a very lucky kitty!
I'm way behind on answering questions. Yes the wire covers the top too. Keeps birds out and cats inside.
Maybe having some lawn would be nice for the cat, with some shade and catmint, long grass. Surrounded by green but none of it close for your cat to lay on, sniff etc
Hard to sweep out those tunnels? Fur, dirt and debris will settle in. Maybe hose w/water?
The tunnels are fine. I rarely do anything to it and it cleans itself with rain and wind.
Wow cool!

かっこいい！猫ロードだ♪
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So cool just subscribed!
Awesome ideas
Looks like there might be a gap by the pet flap where the cat can get out....
It has plexiglass. I was looking at the neighbours. Clearly they are not allowed fences there. Uggh!!
Uggh is right. We have subdivision HOAs to thank for that. It isn't enough that the government wants to control every facet of our life we have our neighborhoods doing it.
@@emilybh6255 Be smart and dont move to a hoa neighborhood. That's how you solve that problem.
Emily BH you chose the HOA so that's on you. Don't whine
Fences are allowed but don't contain a cat. A neighbor watched their jack Russell terrier get carried off by a coyote. So I keep my kitties safe.
you must love your cat
alina gushtyuk also looks like they have the money
We aren't rich. Gazebo cost $1,000. I built the tunnels myself. Gives the cats outdoor time whenever they want to go. They all love it.
👍
😍💕
Enclouser needs some shade.
Hope not have something like home owners clubs that tells what you cant do or can do with your own home inside and out. ✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌🆗
💯%🆙🆒🎓🎓🎓✌👍✋👏👋
The craftsmanship is amazing! However I can't help but feel like the cat was cheated in this deal. Such a huge yard and not enough play room..
My cats get yard time when I can be outside with them. They can go out to the cathouse anytime they want. I don't think they feel cheated. They are pretty lucky!
BEAUTIFUL idea BUT to much wood to look at !
Did you make one for yourself? The point of life is to live...not to be kept safe. It’s beautiful, but still a cage

Catio needs natural trees, plants, grass and room to roam. Yours is way too Sterile.
What kind of tree do you think I should plant inside my gazebo?
all that space and they made a big bird cage, its a no for me
They get lots of yard time as long as I can be out with them. This is for when I am away or can't take them out or when I am sleeping at night.

susiezyp I can't go over how stupid this comment is.
susiezyp .. I am shocked by your stupid comment. You must be one of those irresponsible pet owners. Do you let your spouse, kids, or dogs roam free?
This is what caring owners do for their pets, keep them safe when outdoors.
susiezyp you are the worst example like your comment .
Love the idea but I think apart from the bit at the end , its kinda ugly , probably would look a whole lot better being 6 foot off the ground so you could walk under it instead of around it and theres a lot of wood....looks like a over kill , its only a cat not a lion LOL,,but idea is great.
