Great video guys. Catio looks awesome and the catties approve.. I've lived with a lot of feline company over the years and it's really important to remember that even though they are all cats, all need something to call their jungle, they are each different, just like us. We now have 2 cats and one WAS a street fighter when he was allowed outside and since becoming inside only his mood has improved A LOT. He's more chilled and less anxious. In fact, we gave him some outside walk time on a lead but after each walk he would be super anxious and insecure, so we don't anymore and both cats are inside fulltime. If we do end up building a catio I am not sure if it will be in both their best interests. Sigh...fur babies. 😂 Great video.
How long was it until your cats figured out how to use the kitty door on their own without you holding it open for them. I'm afraid my cats are too dumb (but loveable) to figure it out.
LOL!! 😂 It took a couple weeks. We used a binder clip to hold up the flap and everyday we made the opening for them to get out smaller and smaller until it didn’t need the clip anymore
Great work to help keep the cats healthy and content. I just wanted to add that next time, use Cut-N-Seal (or stain) on the cut ends of all boards. Especially important for any pieces that will be on the ground.
This looks great - so I plan to build one soon and I have a quick question: can you move this cat house a bit off the wall so I can get inside and clean-up or add extra thinks for my kitty ! As I don't see it attached to the house I assume it is - but just in case - thanks a bunch
We had the other one 2 years and haven’t had to go in to clean it! We leaf blow any leaves that may get in through the fencing. They don’t use the bathroom in there and the water bowl in right through the window, so I just stick my hand in and grab it :) if we ever did HAVE to go in for some reason, it’s super quick and easy to take the window door off the window
Great video..... Does your husband work on a ship? He sways while talking 😬 🥰 I live in Epping Vic.Australia, as of 1st August 2023 All cat's must remain inside. Our Council has given us about 12 months notice to either build a Catio or keep all cats inside the home 24/7 So your video is great.....Love,, Health and Happiness to you both from Australia
Thanks for the great video. One (I hope) constructive suggestion, much more video of the process on screen as you speak and less "talking heads" describing the process. So "say a cat see a cat" as you go would be a good model for the future. I was inspired to make a catio. Good work. TL in Seattle
That's a great enclosure, I need to make one for our cats. Have you had any problems with the mini zip ties cracking or breaking? I live in Florida and those things sometimes just crack.
I haven’t, and we’re in Nola, so we have the same heat! But they do have outdoor grade zip ties & I believe steel ones, which would obviously last longest
2x4’s are of course more substantial. But we also did it because our cats walk along the sides and use them to jump up, so we wanted them to have a wider space to use them to jump up
@@NextJeneration I was just wondering how you get in there if you need to clean it. I wasn’t being disrespectful just curious. It’s a top job and looked really straight forward I would love to be able to do something like that but I’m getting too old.🥰
There's one reaction youtuber who lookalike (guy) with ur partner... His youtube channel is CASZ CREW. The same smile and hair cut..and body built. Seems like identical twins.. The difference is his thick accent..I think CADZ CREW is from ENGLAND...And you are from NEW Orleans? ???
I love that you film as you go and make mistakes because it really helps illustrate and clarify the real process.
Thank you so much for making this video guys! I am currently building a catio for my cat and I keep coming back to this video for inspiration/advice.
Yay! So happy to hear that, thank you
Love this - you make it seem so simple!!
Nice job guys, well thought out and very practical.
Thanks! 👍

Love it. Such a great idea.

Hi
Beautiful Catio.
What about a door to get inside and clean?
Regards
Bon 👣
Very cool

It’s not attached to the house, so I technically could move it. But we built ours to fit pretty snug and we buried it in the gravel.
@@NextJeneration thank you 🤩
So cool! How do you guys go inside to clean it? I suppose through the window? Lol.

NextJeneration Oh wow that’s great!! Thanks for the reply!! Hoping to possibly make one when I buy a townhouse next year. :)
Good luck!!! 🤞🏼☺️

Love that! No he just has extreme ADD
I wish you would have shown us a video of your cats out in the cation.

I noticed you went from 2x2's in your previous catio to 2x4's. Were the 2x2's too flimsy ? Why did you make the change?
2x4’s are of course more substantial. But we also did it because our cats walk along the sides and use them to jump up, so we wanted them to have a wider space to use them to jump up
How do you get in there to clean it.
Clean what?
