Amazing project, but just wishing you had treated the wood with preserver. Guess you can do it over next few months so it will last. Big hugs to you both xx
Wow, great job for two would-be Carpenters! The catio l👀ks amazing! I can't wait to see the accessories put into place. Are you going to treat the wood to protect it from the rain and sun? Remember to add another lock at the bottom of the door because Billy is big enough to push through. I think we'll get an update to say you've built another one for someone.💰🤭👍🏼
Looks great, but I’d suggest adding the chicken wire to that spot by the fence. Billy might not be able to get out that way, but he may get stuck behind there. I’d be paranoid lol
We did look at that, but the gap between the wood and the fence is more than big enough for him to walk through without getting stuck ☺️ he also likes poking his paws through the fence to try pester next doors mini dachshund 😂 (it's friendly)
Sooo lovely having Emanuel vlogging with you. You guys definitely make a lovely couple and WELL DONE on making your catery ! It looks very professional!! Hope billy loves his new hangout 💗
Hi Jess, first time sending you a message but have been watching your videos for a while and love them. Not sure if you are aware but you can get instructions on line on how to build a Catio, which may help you both. Keep up the good work. Jill😸❤
Well done, guys- so impressive! How about a few different levels, perches etc & steps/slide he can run up & down? Also, do you need to get planning permission for this? I’d love to have a go if not ❤
Thank you! We've actually got more things in for him now, they were just on order when this was filmed! And no planning permission is needed as it's only a temporary structure
It's funny because I also have an allergy to cats! One of the reasons I chose a Bengal breed was because of their undercoat, which I'm not allergic to but most moggy cats I am!
@@TheSliceOfJess I’m so glad you were able to find one that you’re not allergic to! Maybe one day I will. I’d have to spend time with a cat for a bit to see if I’d have a reaction. And sadly I don’t know that there are any Bengal breeders local to my area.
You both did an amazing job and Billy seemed to be loving it. I'd love to see an update once the furniture is in. I think you've made a very responsible decision for Billy by building him a catio. He's probably never going to be a street smart cat and could end up in all sorts of trouble if he was given free rein. The only point I wanted to make was that I would put a lock on the bottom of the door as well so that he can't push it open and squeeze through. Maybe you've already done this though so forgive me if that is the case? Well done to you both xx 😽
Your video has definitely given me inspiration to build a walk in run for my Guinea pigs to stop my cats from trying to eat them haha, Hope Billy is enjoying the catio 😊
If you guys can successfully complete a project like this, you can probably work your way thru almost anything and still be together! Congrats to you both and congrats to Billy for having a catio built with love. It looks so spacious and inviting. I'm sure Billy will be a little more patient about getting his catio furniture and scratching stations. Maybe the side against the wood fence could be a designer wall adorned with some of Billy's favorite home decor. I'm confident he'll let you know! Cheers!
Fantastic job to you both 👍 Billy looks like he's loving it already ❤. The wood is untreated though you might want to consider putting a wood sealer on it to keep the damp out 👍xx
As for things to put in there id deffo put your chair set back in there and you could maube hide his litter tray out there👀 depends if youd be leaving the window open 24/7
Will u be putting a solid roof on for when it’s raining Billy can still be outside for fresh air maybe. I think it’s called corrugated sheets (I think!) xx
Also I think u can put a little cosy thing and a strip of turf so he has the real grass experience aswell. You would be really good at doing some panelling! Your Catio is brilliant and Billy has the best of the indoor and outdoor experience ❤
We thought about this but Billy really likes looking at the birds when they fly over 😂 I'm looking at getting like an 'out house' that he can sit in if he wants to! I might also look at some type of grass for part of the bottom too, even if it's artificial so he can have both the wood or grass to step on!
Mmmm I’m also sat here thinking you and Emanuel could actually design and come build me a little summer house. I mean the Catio is just bloody brilliant and a summer house isn’t far from the Catio design!!!😜
I just put down a small piece artificial grass on the decking for my baby. It comes by the meter and was super cheap. Something he can roll on and sun himself 😊great team work you two!!!! 🎉❤
Build a cat grass box he will love that and w all that rain I would def stain all the wood and maybe put a polycarbonate roof on it!! I love my catio I have climbing poles, perches, plants, chairs for me to sit in the catio w my cats! Around it on the outside I planted plants to attract butterflies, bird feeders/baths etc so my cats can watch but not harm them n etc!!! A great channel on RUclips to check out is chirpy cats she did an amazing catio
You might want to add some clear lacquer or paint the wood to protect it from the rain and make it last longer. That said, I also have never built anything so maybe consult someone more knowledgeable than me!
A massive tree branch or two from top to bottom across the area . Cats love to climb. My cat is also called Billy and is very envious of your Billy's catio!
Well done! Make sure you give Billy a (waterproof probably sensibly) shelter he can really hide in too and think how you’re going to keep warm in the winter when he wants to be outside and you want the window shut 😆
Jess, such a project,. Yet such a team together with Emmanuel, You both so smart, i like how Emmanuel wears his work gloves And so when. Yourself Jess set about the other details Part of me was screaming, Jess you need work gloves. Mary Canada 🇨🇦 Regardless have so much admiration for both of you so Dedicated to the finish, and all for the love of lucky Billy 🐈
One day you're swiping on her tinder and then before you know it, you're taking time off work to build her cat a catio
😂😂
Emmanuel taking time off work cause he loves billy melted me 😂❤
Jess, you bobbing back and forth in the window behind Emmanuel when he's explaining 😂 I saw you gal 😆
👀😂
@@TheSliceOfJess forgot to add the catio is fab, yous did a great job 👍😀
For a pair that didn’t know what to do you’ve done an amazing job ❤❤❤
At this point I feel you are third wheeling Billy & Emmanuel 🤣 this is such a sweet video Jess, that cat deserves the world 🙌🏻
Amazing project, but just wishing you had treated the wood with preserver. Guess you can do it over next few months so it will last. Big hugs to you both xx

Aww you both did a brilliant job. Billy is a very lucky boy.
I love how Emanuel loves billy 🫶 he’s one pampered kitty 🐈 😊 you both did a great job 👏
Love this! I have the same fixed to my back door. Billy will absolutely love this! Well done 😻😻
Thanks so much 😊

@@TheSliceOfJess okay. Just don’t want anything to happen to your beautiful boy. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
You two did an amazing job 👏 ❤
Thank you! 🫶🏼
This is a great idea come and go as he pleases,what about a little pal for him? 🤔also the door u put on the catio was perfect.
Ignore my previous comment. How clever are you two. Billy is so beautiful.❤
Wow the catio came out great!! Billy is a lucky kitty!! You guys did amazing!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much! 🫶🏼

You both did such a good job. Emmanuel is definitely a keeper ❤
Hi what sides was your wood ? 2x1 or 3x2 ? Thxs and sorry to say what was the cost of the build? Thinking of doing it my self for my 4 cats
Well done.... great achievement.... are you going to weather proof the wood with preservative of some kind?
Thank you! And yes we are, just took a while to find one that was pet safe! It’s on order now so should be weather proofing next week
Amazing effort from you both, you could make catio’s for the nations cats 🐱🐱🐱
Thank you! ❤️ hahaha I’m not sure I have the mental strength building another one 😂
Well done, guys- so impressive!
How about a few different levels, perches etc & steps/slide he can run up & down?
Also, do you need to get planning permission for this? I’d love to have a go if not ❤
Thank you! We've actually got more things in for him now, they were just on order when this was filmed! And no planning permission is needed as it's only a temporary structure
Hi Jess it’s so sweet of you to do that for Billy. Good luck I hope he loves it 💗
You need perches and shelves and a bird feeder in yard so he can look at birds . Cats like climbing.
He has all that now, this was just the shell
Hi Jess brill work. I just wonder, is the wood treated? If not you may have to paint it to make it last a bit longer
It looks great!!! I love how much emmanuel loves Billy!!!! You bobbing your head around in the background while he was expaining made me laugh! 😅
You've both done a fab job fair play billy deserves This ❤❤😽
I definitely recommend putting another lock on the bottom also❤
Yeah we’re going to get another one ☺️
Great catio! I enjoy seeing Billie in your videos...he is such a talker ! All those meows make me wish I spoke Cat......:)
I so wish I didn’t have an allergy to cats! I love them so much! I can see yours is quite spoiled, as it well should be! 😊

Hi U 2 i think you both have done a good job billy will love it , Emmanuel your a star🌟😘
Well done you two! Don't forget to treat the wood tho, to help protect it from weathering too quickly.
Thank you! And yes we are, just took a while to find one that was pet safe! It’s on order now so should be weather proofing next week
Loving this catttio video…..best wishes to you and your favourite boys. Well done everyone….cheers from Australia.
Looks fantastic!! Billy will love that
Not Jess at the window 😂😂😂😂🤍
👀😂😂
Good Job! Great inspiration for me as I have many cats LOL who have adopted me. Thank You for sharing....Here in Ohio, USA!
I just put down a small piece artificial grass on the decking for my baby. It comes by the meter and was super cheap. Something he can roll on and sun himself 😊great team work you two!!!! 🎉❤
Love it! Ypu should start hiring Emmanuel out 😂
Hahahaha he loves a project
Would love to do this for my friend who rescues feral cats & socializes them for adoption. Thanks so much for your video!!!
Build a cat grass box he will love that and w all that rain I would def stain all the wood and maybe put a polycarbonate roof on it!!

Round off the corners of the opened window frame a bit before you or your cats get injured... cool build, cool cats. Thanks for the video.
Great job I think you both did very well, I hope Billly loves it, I'm sure he will when you have finished decorating it for him ❤❤
Well done great team work 👍
Thank you! 🫶🏼
Never buy your timber from places like B&Q as they charge the earth. Go to a timber merchant and buy treated timber @
A massive tree branch or two from top to bottom across the area . Cats love to climb. My cat is also called Billy and is very envious of your Billy's catio!
it’s looking bloody fantastic!! ❤❤❤
Thank you!!
The catio is looking great!
Billy is a very much loved cat! 💕
I would reinforce it with heavier wire on outside, if that dog every got loose and in your yard , it could break through that screen., ❤ your cat , 🐈
Well done!
Make sure you give Billy a (waterproof probably sensibly) shelter he can really hide in too and think how you’re going to keep warm in the winter when he wants to be outside and you want the window shut 😆
The 'I think she's got a hammer" comment made me laugh out loud 😂😂😂
I love it! You both have inspired me.. I might try.. ❤😊
Enjoy Billy ❤❤❤
Jess, such a project,. Yet such a team together with Emmanuel,
You both so smart, i like how Emmanuel wears his work gloves
And so when. Yourself Jess set about the other details
Part of me was screaming, Jess you need work gloves.

Regardless have so much admiration for both of you so

It looks great!!! I think you are secretly professional joiners 😃
Just lost one of my cats today😢… imma do right by my others and build them a catio
Ahh, well done both of you! Sir Billy deserves it!
You have both done Billy proud you have both done a fabulous job well done guys! Bless Billy, hes gonna love it
❤❤❤❤❤
🥰
Amazing, well done both of you 🎉 Have fun Billy! 😻
You both did a great job hope billy really enjoys it for the summer 😊
Well done both looks brilliant x
the bottom section of the door is spot to escape if he pushes against it , because the door lock is securing more of the top section
👍😍❤️
❤xx
Yasss Emmanuel on the vlogs!! You've done a great job 😍
Hi you two,,, very well done you done a fantastic job ❤
Thank you so much 😁
Shelves would be good, and a half of a roof. Would be better.
Great job, you both did so well x
Well done you two 😊😊😊
Did you think about painting the wood but it turned out really good
