Well built and designed to allow easy access to all levels.

I love it!! These kids are so loved and so lucky to have parents like you!! The whole thing is what I hope to have one day. Definitely before the cold hits. They're so cute

wow awesome catio

Such lucky cats and dog. Wonderful video.

Absolutely inspiring! Thanks for sharing. It's my dream to build a catio for my 5 cats. The lights seem like a bad idea. Don't know about your cats, but mine would pull them down in one day.

With the exception of you not painting the wood that was fastened to the house the same color as the house, I think you did a GREAT job. I could not have done better job. CHEERS.

The fact they used impregnated wood that are not cat safe made me cringe…

Good job folks!!! We also think that your dog, cats are very adorable and your yard is quite lovely.

Thanks! 👍

Love your floofy cats, What a wonderful place for them.

I lost a beautiful cat to an eagle after 30 plus years of no issues letting them oitside just during the day. So,getting ideas for a wonderful,fun catio to build this spring. PS-Even though I'm located in N Ontario Canada,I'm surrounded by Finlanders,great carpenters,added pressure for me to do a nice job.

Well done!!!

Glad to see your entire family (: working on the project!

My chickens and cats would fight over it!

Awesome! Trying to talk my husband into building one!!! Thx for the inspiration!

I am planning a natural grass floor catio too. Was it difficult to level? Did you have to use any fancy footings or green treated lumber for ground contact? Cat is growing impatient with me. I also am connecting with window around the corner so this viseo really helped me visualize how that was going to work.

Great that the video was helpful! We put insulating fabric between the lower parts of the elements and the ground. The wooden parts of the element are entirely pressure-impregnated wood. It is almost 2 years since construction and the wooden parts are well preserved.

Very nice, almost makes me wish I was a cat...lol

Wow, thank you, this is sooo inspiring!

Very nice catio. Can you kindly tell me what breed is your black cat? We have rescued one that looks quite exactly like yours. Hope to hear from you. Thank you.

@Shay Laster I found out that they're called the smokey black ragdolls. Or atleast we can call them smokey black cats, because their fur look smokey.

Great work!

Счастливые коты!

💛 💛 😊 Wonderful!!!

Superbe 👌👍👍😻😻😻

Very nice maybe add some cameras for safety.

I'd put clear corrugated sheeting on roof.

Hola muy lindo , pero para el invierno podrías tapar el techo Saludos

I love this so much! A couple questions as I consider / plan for mine: 1. Mowing - is mowing that area a pain? 2. Do the kitties prefer to use the bathroom outside or still use their litter boxes?

Thanks! 😊 Mowing the lawn is pretty good with a trimmer, so it doesn't require too much Our cats don’t make their needs at Catio. Will come inside to use their sandboxes 👍

Where are you located? Just curious what your winter weather is like

This winter was really long and snowy here in Finland and this winter was already the second winter for this CATIO. So far there has been no need to fix anything. Well preserved over the winter 😊

Did u use cedar or other?

And did the zoning make you take this down? :(

Wonderful Catio for your babies, but what you really NEED is GREENERY for the cats to have shade and to use their imaginations, i.e. hide from birds they "might" catch, etc.

Wondering if you had problems with building this right up against property lines? Zoning/Building depts would possibly consider this "encroachment". Depends on your jurisdiction -- and your next door neighbor. In 40 plus years of building, I've seen some people get in trouble for this - and adjoining property owners getting weird & litigious. Otherwise, looks great - getting ready to build something for my 6 kiddos hopefully in next couple months - if I survive this move that is! Thanks for video.

The couple lives in Finland so the rules are most probably different there than in for example your country. I can only speak about my own country but here if the current neighbor is fine with the build then everything’s set in stone. Then if they move and someone else moves in they have very little to say about because they knew it would be there when moving in.

Pero esas repisas son muy estrechas y no son cómodas ,les gustan camas mullidas para amasar y de unos 50cm de ancho .Yo vivo en un primero y tengo rascadores XXL grandes para que se tumben juntos mis 3 gatos y sin red porque no se caen ni quieren saltar .Los saco a pasear como perros y viven muuuy felices

Be better woth cat beds and some cat safe plants

Kinda pointless making those things cat safe when the entire build isn’t…

BORING.Twelve months and there is still no colour, nothing for them to play with or plants or anything stimulating at all.😢💔😿
