What amazes me, is why "we" didn't think of catios sooner. The idea is just so brilliant and even a small space outside is a win-win for everyone. This one really is a paradise and totally stress-free for the humans. Where's the cat darling? He's in his catio. Wonderful.
Love how u incorporated a lot of plants in and outside of the catio, if u want to make it even more discreet, plant some morning glory’s against the tunnels, they climb and they will attract lots of bugs, birds, bees and squirrels.
You made a cat paradise and gave these little guys a wonderful home! I also live in an area where there's shootings all the time, in Chicago. I'm in the process of creating a safe outdoor place for my two rescue cats, as well. What you've done is a tremendous inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing! And for caring so much about cats!!
Such a beautiful job Julia! And designed with such thoughtfulness and respect for your cats needs. So absolutely wonderful to encounter such a kind person doing such lovely things. Thank you, you have made my day!
I need one for my fur babies, I’m deployed right now I miss my furry meows so much. Watching how other people love their fur babies as much as I do me so happy. Thank you for this video😺😺😺😺😺🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful video. Sorry you lost dear sweet Lucy, but, the smile on her face says you gave her a good and happy life. I just put my extremely ill Buzzy to sleep. I miss him terribly. What is the ginger/marmalades name? Looks like a lovely tomcat. They all look so happy.
Thanks, Jennifer and I'm so very sorry for your loss. We've lost all our old cats (18, 19 and 22) in the past two years and a young one I had adopted who died of FIP which is such an awful mutated virus. The ginger is actually a female and her name is Maya, after the German bumble bee character "Biene Maja" :) I have to make a new video one day soon because we adopted another cat since. His name is Walter and he is a black cat who is very silly and naughty.
Looking to build something like this for my kittiies. Domesticated cats are like 3 year olds. Full of curiosity but still highly intelligent. They didn't learn outdoor survival instincts and since we humans brought them into our homes we have to look after their well being. Thanks for sharing your video, you give me plenty of great ideas! Your cats are so beautiful and SUPER loved...anyone who does this for their cat has a huge heart!
This video is 5 years old, and I love to watch it again and again. Your cats are SOOOOO HAPPY!!!!! I get so excited to be able to watch the cats enjoy their lives like yours obviously do. Bless you. I have 4 regular-sized catios, 4 window catios, and am in the process of building tunnels to connect them. I am also designing a very large catio with lots of enrichment so they may climb, jump, run, or just nap in a 24ft long X 10ft high space. I will say this. My 7 cats (all rescues) have a 4pm curfew, which means all the pet doors are closed, and until 4pm, they can run at large (they stay in my half acre backyard), but all except one, stay inside their catios with the doors wide open. They LOVE their catios so much, and choose to be in them. So, for anyone who complains about cats being in cages, etc, my cats prefer their catios over being loose in the yard, and have since I build them a year ago. Prior to having catios and window catios, they just hung out in the yard until 4pm. I have videos of this, if anyone wants to see them. They aren't edited or professional, etc, but just there for my family to go and view them. My cats run up and down their ramps, lie on the shelves, and sleep in their cuddle boxes. Catos are THE BEST invention to not only keep our beloved babies safe, but also other wildlife as well. WIN WIN. BEAUTIFUL. Bless you.
Thanks! Your babies are so cute, I just watched some of your videos. I made the mistake of taking my cats out on a leash and now that's all my Willy wants to do. But he still also likes his catio.
@@juliakonya7266 oh no, hahaha. You're in trouble now. I walk my dogs every day, most times twice, but I don't walk my cats. That would be hilarious tho. I used to have cats that walked my dogs with me (loose, not on a leash) but they crossed the rainbow bridge. I'm sure my current cats would love to walk with us. At least a couple anyway. They usually come with some trauma, but the ones that don't, would probably love to walk with us. Two of my rescues followed me home while I was walking my dogs, so they'd for sure probably like to. They were neighborhood drop-offs, ughhhhh. Nobody would claim them. In fact, my last 3 were neighborhood drop-offs, now that I think about it. I'll put up more videos when I'm further along on my newest catios and tunnels. I built one in the last couple of weeks for my newest rescue (Ruby) because she's taking a bit longer to integrate with my other cats, and I don't think her window catio is enough for her to get exercise, and enjoy the outdoors. I put one into a tree that has a bunch of birds for some great cat tv for her to enjoy. She's going to love it. Her left ear is tipped, so she's a catch and release that somehow found her way into my neighborhood. Very skittish, but friendly. We live next to a wildlife preserve so we've got coyotes everywhere, mtn lions, bobcats, raccoons, hawks, owls, and everything in between. Have to be VERY careful, even with the dogs. Wayyyy too many predators. Bless you.
@@energeticsoulhealer888 my Willy and his siblings were found at weeks old in our neighborhood and I raised them with a bottle. His siblings are with my husband's cousin. Willy is the one who loves to walk on the leash. We also have strays in the neighborhood. I TNRed them and was able to take one of them in. People love dumping cats where we live as well. Did you see the tutorial I have on how I built my tunnels?
This is terrific! Just built one myself (smaller than yours), and it's tricky at first getting the cats to understand that the new outside space is OK and safe and part of their territory. At first they think it's some sort of trick like trying to get them in the carrier for a vet visit. lol. Still working on getting them to punch through the cat flap in the pet doors on their own. They seem to be enjoying it though. They're not big fans of the neighbor's lawnmower. :)
Aww that is wonderful. You have some very loved cats. I live in an apartment and have 2 cats. They demand to go out so I bought a cat stroller and we walk and let them play freely outside but I'm always right with them. We have huge hawks here.
Hi - Sorry you took my comment the wrong way. Yes - I agree that humans are irresponsible. I've been involved with dog & cat rescue for about 20 years. Glad your cats have a happy home.@@armywife7078
You’re an awesome cat dad! this is a fabulous beautiful Catio and obviously your cats are really enjoying it. good job!!!! it’s so beautiful with all the greenery around it
That's wonderful. I have a large enclosure my 4 can get to just off the back porch, with some lounging levels. I really should add some ground level spaces & additional paths.
wow, what a good cat resort! I have an orange/white Tabby who looks exactly like yours, his name is Chuck Norris, and he is the boss of the house, 11 years old, best cat ever!
Very nice though I've seen similar ones with inexpensive corrugated roofing to keep the runways, perches, and cats dry. Usually polycarbonate, but metal would also work. I been a member of gun clubs for about 50 years and have never seen a domestic animal on a range. It's reasonable to assume the noise keeps them away and no fellow shooter I ever knew would do anything to the animals, but I'm still happy you don't let them run loose for any number of reasons. I think predation is the biggest risk, but as is stated other dangers exist too. You've made them happy with your efforts.
That is such a great way to keep your babies safe! I dont know why I didnt think of it before, it was'nt until I lost one of my little kitties and it hurt so much knowing I couldnt have him here anymore. I love your enclosure and everything around it! Also I cant believe these gun freaks so close by and having to hear that would just scare me. I think if I had to hear that everyday me and the kitties are packing up and moving out to the country!
I'm so sorry about your baby! I know the pain well. Yes, the folks go crazy at that gun range and I know from a friend that they will shoot at animals/cats if they hang out close to the target area but I feel like it is even worse out in the country where the gun crazy people can do whatever they want. You have to be scared to even go for a walk.
What amazes me, is why "we" didn't think of catios sooner. The idea is just so brilliant and even a small space outside is a win-win for everyone. This one really is a paradise and totally stress-free for the humans. Where's the cat darling? He's in his catio. Wonderful.
Very beautiful and peaceful
thanks
I love your catio.I always want the fur babies safe and happy .Yours are both .
Thank you! I hope they are :)
I want a space in mine where I can join and sit with her. I’m so excited
I would love that too but we didn't have room :(
Love how u incorporated a lot of plants in and outside of the catio, if u want to make it even more discreet, plant some morning glory’s against the tunnels, they climb and they will attract lots of bugs, birds, bees and squirrels.
I love all the greenery !!! 😃👍

Thank you so much and good luck with your enclosure space. Your cats will love it
Thanks for sharing !👍❤️💐
What a beautiful yard you have! Lucky cats!
Thank you
What a lucky, no not lucky that means maybe or maybe not, left up to chance, flipping a coin. This is a great blessing for pets.
What a beautiful yard! I really like the care you have shown not to disrupt nature and making sure thr cats are able to enjoy that .
This is the best catio I've seen so far.
I'm glad that you mention the wiring underground to prevent other animals from getting in, or them digging their way out. Nice, safe and comfortable:)
Thanks so much! It's important too
I guess I'm pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Issac Jett Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Connor Royce Definitely, have been using FlixZone for since april myself :D
@Connor Royce Thanks, I went there and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it !
I love this. Shows that you dont need a big space, but a small space with the cat in mind is enough. :)
Thanks and I agree, you don't have to have a big space. Our yard is really tiny. I'm still hoping that I can make it a little bigger though
Willie is such a good looking young cat. Wonderful enclosure. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! He I raised him with a bottle since he was 2 weeks old. He's a really cat.
Such a beautiful job Julia! And designed with such thoughtfulness and respect for your cats needs. So absolutely wonderful to encounter such a kind person doing such lovely things. Thank you, you have made my day!
Thanks so much for such a sweet comment.
Great idea, protects the cats and the local wildlife.
The cats are very calm too.
Yes they are pretty chill
They seem to love it. I love the black and whites. 💜
Thanks, my little Willy is a special guy.
Beautiful just beautiful THe screen spaces are just the perfect size to let the kitties be safe and look, thru withut obstructing their view.
Thank you! I am pretty sure they love it
I need one for my fur babies, I’m deployed right now I miss my furry meows so much. Watching how other people love their fur babies as much as I do me so happy. Thank you for this video😺😺😺😺😺🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh I can only imagine how much you miss your babies. Hope you get to see them soon
Great idea and use of existing structures!

Thank you!
Those are perfect tunnels along the fence with all the foliage cover. Love the hideaways! Well done. So many catios are way too small.
Thanks so much Dyana. Planning on building some more tunnels hopefully soon
What a great idea to keep your fur babies safe!❤️😻
Thank you

Awesome,genius idea. Well built . Bless you for taking care to make life of these cats perfect in every way.
Make them wear little blaze orange vests, too. LOL Great job.
Wow!! I love it - wish my kitties had one !
Thank you! My kitties love it
Makes me wanna be a cat.
Love that
Me too
Nice job! I like the multi destinations too.
Thank you
What a beautiful setting. Love the space and garden.

Thank you! Mine got used to it rather quickly, even to the lawn movers and gunshots in our neighborhood.
Thank you My Dear , for sharing , I love it . I need catio for my kitties .

You’re an awesome cat dad! this is a fabulous beautiful Catio and obviously your cats are really enjoying it. good job!!!! it’s so beautiful with all the greenery around it
Thank you! I'm a cat mommy :) though and built it all by myself
Julia Konya oh😄😄😄 So much the better!!! I’m a cat mommy too, but I couldn’t do what you did
What a wonderful idea, and what beautiful cats you have. All the best and thank you for sharing.
such an amazing creation !!! waow

Que gran idea..gatitos afortunados♥..te felicito
I have one just like "Willie" he's super cute.
Thank you! Tuxedos are awesome
That's wonderful. I have a large enclosure my 4 can get to just off the back porch, with some lounging levels. I really should add some ground level spaces & additional paths.
Oh I'd love to see photos of yours.
Awesome!!! And ur cats are gorgeous!!!😍♥️🤗 🐈🐈🐈🐾🐾
Thank you
All cats are gorgeous - well, nearly all !
Thank u so much for caring 🐺

Nice catio, one of the best I've ever seen, really for the cats to enjoy, not the owners. ^. . ^
I hope you're cats are happy with their nirvana. thanks
Yes they sure are
Super nice for the cat's love it ❤️
wow, what a good cat resort! I have an orange/white Tabby who looks exactly like yours, his name is Chuck Norris, and he is the boss of the house, 11 years old, best cat ever!
Thanks! Mine is actually an orange female with three toes and her name is Maya. She's named after a German cartoon bumble bee ;)
@@juliakonya7266 the size of her I thought was a male, mine, Chuck Norris, is a 16 pound male, but your cat looks just like him!
This is amazing 😻
Thank you
1:34 All of my cat is a rescue cat !
man your cats are so cute we have a big garden so im thinking of making something like this for my cat!
Thanks, I think they are cute too :) I wish I had a big garden so we could have a huge enclosure but this is better than nothing
Love the design! It fits perfectly with your yard and cats! It’s real outside experience for them, with none of the danger!
Wow! Very nice
that is beautiful & very impressive
Just lovely 😻 🥰
Thank you
Very nice though I've seen similar ones with inexpensive corrugated roofing to keep the runways, perches, and cats dry. Usually polycarbonate, but metal would also work.
I been a member of gun clubs for about 50 years and have never seen a domestic animal on a range. It's reasonable to assume the noise keeps them away and no fellow shooter I ever knew would do anything to the animals, but I'm still happy you don't let them run loose for any number of reasons. I think predation is the biggest risk, but as is stated other dangers exist too. You've made them happy with your efforts.
