If You Are A Cat Owner You Should Definitely See These Amazing Cat Patios

It's sometimes good for cats to wander around freely, so much so that in the UK they are deliberately breeding wildcats to reintroduce into the wild. Even though cats are thought to be crucial for pest control, they can also devastate an ecosystem so balance is very important. But if you're living in a place where it's the best option for your cat to stay indoors, then you should definitely consider a catio like this.

People like Dennis Gallagher are incredible when it comes to building catios, and companies like Catio Spaces have spent the last 6 years providing catio designs for confused customers.

Some families have even gained internet fame when the catios they built took over the internet, such as this Canadian family who really loves their cats, and built this incredible catio-treehouse!

Seattle-based company Catio Spaces has created downloadable designs that can be built easily and use simple materials and can be installed next to a window, on a deck, or in a backyard. The founder of the company, Cynthia Chomos, aims to provide safe and visually appealing enclosures for cats to enhance their lives.

Places for your cats to climb, explore, enjoy the sun, and play obviously!

You can draw inspiration from various places to build the best catio for your cat

Your cat probably wants to be outside and explore its environment more, but some areas are full of wild predators such as coyotes and mountain lions, or even gigantic predatory birds that are very dangerous for your cat. Catios keep your pet cats safe while still giving in to their need for fresh air.

You can choose a catio that resembles an outdoor path that surrounds your place so your cat will have much more to see and explore while going about its day.

In an interview, the founder of Catio Spaces, Cynthia stated that the idea of a catio came to her when she adopted another cat named Serena after she lost her 22-year-old cat. She wanted to protect Serena from the dangers of the outside world while making sure she is living her best life, so she transformed her backyard patio into a catio and created a space they could both have fun together.

Cynthia also told the details about just how much Catio Spaces offers consumers looking for the perfect catio: "We offer a wide variety of designs that are suitable for all the cat owners out there, and they are also very easy to build on your own. The plans we sell the most are the Sanctuary and Haven that allow easy access through a cat door installed in a window, door, or wall. We also donate 10% of the plan purchases to animal and bird welfare organizations."

For example, British Columbia based "Beautiful World Living Enclosures" has been creating this type of outdoor enclosures for a wide variety of animals since 2009.

Since cats love to roam and explore, they need space. Even though you can keep them inside a tiny flat to keep you company, it's a nice idea to provide them with a huge and safe space for themselves.

The whole point of a catio is to give your cat some space so that it can play and enjoy the fresh air after all!

Apparently, cats here really like this gazebo and the hammock, and can you blame them for it?

Catios are visually appealing for humans too, which is another good thing about them.
