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. ua-cam.com/video/F8YhMLDs5rU/v-deo.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: ua-cam.com/video/PN0YyHDBM5E/v-deo.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.

Where did you buy the staple gun
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: ua-cam.com/video/cin9jBXPjPA/v-deo.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
Cool little Milo!
❤️❤️❤️

Hello and thank you Patty! We appreciate your visit and comments too!
I loved the story!❤❤❤ Grayson is looking great! Love that playful boy❤
Aww, we're so glad you liked it!
Great video. I am about to build my first catio and these were all great things to consider !
Thanks so much - we hope it helps you avoid any issues and gets you started with your new Catio!
How many cats do you have?
Appreciate the question; we have 4 cats.
@OurCatioHome I have 1 I would like to have second one day cause I think my boy is lonely but I'd like a big catio for them one day. How much time do yours spend outside?
Cutie patootie kitty cat❤
Thanks!
Meerkat Abby ❤❤❤😂😂😂
We thought that too.....😻
@OurCatioHome did she spot you and run to greet you ❤?

Very cool!
Thanks!
Good advice.
Thanks! We hope it helps to keep your cats safe.
Love the slo-mo!
Unauthorized use!
Ooh, that is good - we are going to change the title. Thank you!!!!
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
😂😂😂 that's one brave squirrel! Yep panther is not out 😂😂😂
Panther loves the thrill, every time.
@OurCatioHome Sheldon's an beautiful boy! And me thinks maybe in competition with Simon and Abby lol🤣🤣🤣
Grayson!❤❤❤ your catio is stunning!
We appreciate the kind words about Grayson and the catio!
@@OurCatioHome I've missed your videos it's good to see you post again ❤️
Thanks a bunch! What other ideas do you think would be interesting. We are working on the Catio Clips series, but are not sure what others would want to see???
@@OurCatioHome are there any hints you could give to keep catios clean and still entertaining for the kitties?
What about using a catio to protect outdoor cats from dogs? How would you design a way in without a dog being able to get in?
Thank you for the visit and question, it is an excellent point.
Hard to say without knowing the dogs level of motivation. Some dogs can be a real challenge especially when given enough time. At the very least make sure the cats would have something they can run up out of reach and hide in the event of a predator.
incredible space utilization, this is extremely cool. Truly believe this is the best of both worlds: cats getting plenty of outdoor access while also being perfectly safe. Great job
We're glad you think so! It's been a lot of fun creating this space.
Thanks for your easy to follow steps. Just what I need to build for my 14 yr deaf cat!❤
You are going to make her so happy! 😊
Chicken wire is durable, if installed properly. Its soft to the hands, easier to install with a wire cutter and basic hand-held staple gun. I dont see anything wrong with it, for a chicken cat. I'm running with 20 gaudge 4x50 ft chicken wire. The sagging part I'd agree too yet, its way easier to deal with and cut; tweeking it, with cross members or tightening it, is easy as it sounds.
Thanks for taking the time in sharing your experience today!
Thank you 🥹😅❤️So helpful!!
Awe, you're welcome 😊.
One of my foster kittens is about to have this surgery - this video is super helpful, thank you!!!
You got this! We know you'll be able to help your little one.
