Build a Catio For Your Feline Friend

Cats also enjoy time spent in the garden. You are creating a “catio” or play area for your pet to enjoy the outdoors as much as you are a popular trend.

You can let your imagination go wild with this project. Choosing a more prominent structure is best if you have more than one cat. We don’t want them to be fighting over space.

Consider all aspects of your cat’s personality, from playfulness to curiosity and their love for a safe, secure place to hide if they need downtime or to nap. Check out these great ideas to help you create a unique outdoor cat playground.

Cat Structure

Recycled Frame

They’re not just for indoors; floating shelves make a great play area for your cat. Watch him jump from one frame to the next, choosing his favourite. You can have the frame on your porch with a small roof to protect it from rain. These shelves will make him love to watch the birds and insects!
