Bringing a house cat into the great outdoors can be tricky — and dangerous. Cats are naturally curious explorers, and that can sometimes get them into a ton of trouble. They can get stuck, menaced by other animals, and can have unfortunate run-ins with cars. Then, there’s the whole issue of getting them back. Have you ever tried to call a cat home? Yeah, good luck.
Now, you can make sure your feline friends safely enjoy the great outdoors thanks to these patios made specially for cats. Yes, catios!
Whether elevated on a porch or on the ground, catios are enclosed spaces for cats that let them explore, all while keeping them safe.
They can attach to windows and doors.
The catios can be cat-only spaces, or they can accommodate humans, too.
Some even come with little walkways for added exploration.
Catios don’t have to be huge if you don’t have the room.
