  • This video is about DIY, Cat Catio for under 200.00. We built this for a stray cat that had come to our house and at first glance we thought she was pregnant but was not sure. Well guess what we have a cat and 5 cute little kittens so we had to build them a sweet home until their old enough to be our new barn cats. Thanks for watching and like and subscribe to the video for me and come back next week for a new video. #straycatfoundahome #diyprojects#savinabuck

      I am trying to figure out something for my babies. I have folks in my neighborhood who will not do anything about there loose dogs. It causes a problem for the Momma kitties that hang out on my property. We have cats that eat at our home but that we can't necessarily catch to get them fixed.

Since I have a few cats that aren't allowed outside I figured this might be something I'd want to get into I have six rescue and of course they want to be outside.

    Thanks for saving them, hope you got them all fixed. From someone who’s been rescuing cats and kittens for over 17 years, that area they’re in is really too small for them, it’s even too small and confining for even one cat except for a very short period of time. Hope you can move them into your home where they have the room that cats need to move around or find others who will take them. Also, if you find homes for them they really should go in pairs or more, cats should have at least one other cat to play with and keep each other company. Again, thanks for saving their lives!

    This was one of the best catio videos I've seen. I'm framing in on a deck under roof. my project is very different but I still learned more from you because you gave a materials list. I think this is the only one I've seen so far that they actually gave a materials list. I won't be buying exactly the same materials or cutting the wood in half, but just the same, this really helped me visualize what I am about to do. Tree limb was an awesome touch. I live in the forest lots of Fallen trees, cats do love it. Such a lucky cat with kittens. make sure you get those little brats fixed because they get pregnant Young.😮❤

There are two huge dogs that have just moved in a couple weeks ago next door and they don't like kitties at all. My son said as soon as I walk outside to work in the yard and she

But there is always someone who absolutely hates cats. We have had some go missing because people will live trap them and throw them out on the highway.

    This is wonderful. So you can rip a 2x4 with a circular saw? always wondered about that. Where i live , in idaho, female cats come and have their kittens here, then they raise them, teach them to hunt, then she takes them away one by one. Had one cat give birth to her kittens in a birds nest up on a wall top. Didnt know it was there till i heard a kitten crying inside the wall, had to pull the outside boards off to get it, and while doing that they all started crying! This cat kept trying to bring them in the house and keep them on the bed! lol. I now have whats left of a litter of i think 16 years ago. I was up on the roof when i saw the neighbors cat and chicken killing dog with the mama cat dead taking it home. She had a litter she left with me, they were barely old enough to eat food. I gentled them fixed them and got all but one safely inside to take to the no kill shelter. Im allergic to cats, and when i called to let them know i was coming and get directions they said they were full and hung up. I called back and they said sorry just take them to the pound, and hung up again.. They promised me they would take them before. So i kept them. Now i have a coyote that has killed one, and keeping them locked inside. They hate it and i need to build something so they can get outside. at 73, its a chore. I wanted to use 2x2 as i dont think 2x4 is needed. So this was helpful, i do have the jig too, makes life easier for connecting. I will also build a tunnel from the house to the pen, they will hate it, as they love to run outside all over the pasture, but i want them alive.
