It’s easy to see why your cat might crave a taste of the outside world! As pet owners, we keep our beloved cats indoors to protect them from countless hazards, from traffic to predators, and even diseases. But this indoor lifestyle can lack the mental and physical stimulation that nature provides. That’s where a catio, or “cat patio,” comes in: an enclosed outdoor space that lets cats enjoy the outdoors without any of the risks.

Here, we’ll cover what a catio is, the physical and mental benefits it brings to cats, how to go about building one (or hiring a professional), and why quality materials matter. We’ll also dive into ways a catio can provide essential enrichment, transforming the indoor cat’s world. |
