I Built a Catio Adventure Playround For My Cats. Ralph & Bella really want to go outdoors, so I built them a giant Catio (cat-patio) to do so safely! There's a climbing wall, several cat bridges and platforms, and even a bubble dome for them to sleep in. Watch them explore their Jungle Gym for the first time!

FAQs: Why does Bella wear a donut? It's a soft alternative to a normal cone. She has some sensitive skin and keeps over-grooming, but hates wearing a normal cone. She doesn't at all mind wearing the donut, it stops her over-grooming, and she looks incredibly stylish Why didn't you use clear roofing? Ralph is incredibly fluffy and overheats super easily - clear roofing would just act like a greenhouse and make him hotter You weren't allowed to drill into the house but were allowed to cement posts in?!?! Yup. The posts can be easily dug out at the holes refilled when we move out, leaving no trace, whereas holes in brickwork can't be simply filled. Ralph can climb a vertical post, so why did you make the climbing wall less steep? For Bella - she's getting old and is less capable than Ralph Is your screwdriver ok? ...
Bella is cute with the donut😍
I've never seen a loaf of bread wear a donut before...

I agree chris
"I cant wait for ralph and bella to never use it" Cat owners around the world felt that.
For real though!

Yeah…. Also how does he not EVER say anything about cats not eating cat food like, is that not a problem?because my cat won’t
put food in it

Im watching this channel after 3-4 years. Bella’s and Ralph are adorable but honestly no word can describe heir cuteness not even numbers. I will use this channel when I keep my own cat thanks a lot for all these cat advises.
We adopted our kitty Teaspoon as a stray "teen" kitten who was already used to being outside. We have let him be indoor/outdoor for the past year. However, the roofs in our condos were replaced a few months ago and apparently parts were not resealed correctly. Teaspoon got stuck in a roof space in another building for 2 weeks and almost died! Thankfully the maintenance man heard him crying and got him out. I was hesitant to let him out after that - but thought he surely wouldn't repeat the stunt. But he went missing again about a month later. After 2 and a half weeks I had given up hope until I heard a cry as I was walking my dog past an empty condo - he was in the window pawing at the glass. He had gotten in through the roof and could not get out! He had gone without food all that time! The owner lives out of state - but I was able to get her phone # from our HOA. She did not want to bothered and in fact lied at one point saying she had sent someone over to the condo and no cat was in the property! I texted her photos of my cat sitting in the window that included her condo number and told her I was calling the police/fire dept if she refused to do anything. She FINALLY called a locksmith (which I of course paid for) - after 12 hours of playing games with me. $300 later - my cat was finally out! His outdoor cat days are OVER!
Hope he still lives to this day! :D
okay but that person letting a cat starve and be stuck is an awful person. so glad your kitty is okay now!
Bruh nah you liar
@@PrismaticTeamOfficialJSAL this is not something to lie or joke about. it also doesn’t sound made up at all.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TREU
I find it so hilarious that one moment Ralph is just casually hanging at the top of a fully vertical pillar without any visible stress and then the other he fully relies on extra grips to travel across an only slightly-angled walkway because otherwise he'll slip and slide down. Cats are such weird beings haha, sometimes they're extremely lazy and don't want to make any effort whatsoever and then they suddenly perform crazy tasks or just run around for no reason without a problem. Thank you for documenting your life (and most importantly, that of your cats) for all of us to enjoy Chris! Your editing and narration style is so relaxing and entertaining and it's unbelievable how much effort you put into every single one of these videos. Please never stop, the internet is a better place with you on it!
Maybe because it's easier to hang facing up than to walk down a ramp as their claws are curved in. It is true though they'll be the laziest things and then just suddenly start playing around energetically
They are strange creatures indeed. They dont struggle at the difficult things but struggle at the easy things.
This is very longs but i read it all and i agree
@Braden Muriwai wow now that u point it out
@Braden Muriwai I did not, thank you for pointing that out! YT only notifies you about the very first like you get on a comment and none after that for some reason. It's cool to know though, I can't think of many times I've had a top comment before! Thanks y'all!
I so so so appreciate you taking your pets safety (and the health of your ecosystem) seriously I knew I liked you!
Catios are such a wonderful idea for cats. You're 100% right that the outdoors aren't safe for cats and cats aren't safe for the outdoors, but my cats really really adore our little screened in porch, and I'll be very sad when we move away from this house and they don't have it anymore.
“I noticed the climbing wall was a bit too steep.” 5 minutes earlier: *Ralph literally climbing 90 degrees up*
Copied comment but I don’t really care, this comment is even cooler
I made this comment before scrolling down to see a similar one
It says in the pinned comment that the slope was made less steep so that Bella could climb. Bella is an old cat so it needs to be easier for her so she doesn’t get hurt
@@elm-ishh5718 Also, cats claws are pointed inwards, so climbing down is harder than up.
You put the nails in the peaks because in the trough, water would pool around them and seep along the nail into the structure below and into the wood, promoting rot.
I knew someone would know! Thank you, I have done roofing work but never worked with corrugated materials and was curious (but too lazy to Google).
Thx for explaining
What a thoughtful Cat Dad, to make such a lovely gift/Catio! Great Construction, Aesthetically appealing!
I work at a veterinary hospital and the gruesome (mostly car accident) injuries I see daily make me believe letting your cat outside is cruel. Love that catio!
The word you're looking for is "dangerous". At best you could go for "reckless". "Cruelty" implies ill intent while maintaining a state of suffering.
It’s not cruel to allow a living thing freedom, but yes if you live on a busy road you have to think if you can give the animal the life it deserves. I only know one person who kept their cat indoors and I felt sorry for them. However, that was due to them being in a busy area and the cats being expensive so possibility of stealing. We lived in a village and for my cats it would’ve been cruel to keep them indoors. They would choose to spend most of the day outside and come in at night to sleep with us humans.
@@LJ-kj4ro I feel bad for your local wildlife that you're unleashing an invasive predatory species upon...
I think you should let your cat outside if it's safe for them I don't understand how people are arguing over this
@@pinkrosegurl6987 Because it's not that simple?? Anything outside can be dangerous for your cat - cars, heights, larger predators, other cats, parasites, rat poison, poisonous plants.... the list goes on. Where is it safe, then? Plus, house cats are an invasive species that is known to decimate small wildlife. A discussion about this is more than valid.
“How cool is this? I cannot wait for Ralph and Bella to never use it”. This is cats exactly 100 percent. Yes
Whereas you leave a shoe box literally anywhere, and they are in it in a nano-second. 🤷🏻♀️
I donated a box to my cat. He kinda used it?
@@MelsArchive my cats always use a box, but never use his toys and cat trees I spend a lot of money in
@@Marinlss I try for this very reason to home make all my toys. They just work so much better, and if they don't... well they were not expensive at all. I drink a lot of Gatoraid because of my low blood sugar and fatigue. The cap rings on the bottles like to pop off on me. Then I thread through the holes and attached them to various things. Like the door handles to help the cat open the doors. Then it's been 6 months teaching him to shut the door afterwards. Now he has the run of the appartment, except for the bathroom. XD I didn't want my cat to open the door on guests!! Lol
@@Mac_Omegaly this is so cool!! I love the ideia but my cat would have too much power 😂
Bela and Ralph are lovely and cute cats
Bella is the cutest thing ever
I guess Ralph has postponed his plans for world domination
*TACTICAL NUKE INCOMING*
Oh sh…
@@sygneg7348 CATICAL NUKE INCOMING
World domination starts one (tiny) step at a time, he has already made Chris expand his empire by about 8 sq metres.
lol
Ralph: "Okay, gotta use these weird shaped things to go up and down this board!" Bella: "If I touch the weird shapes, I DIE!"
lol I have to admit I was thinking, why not just turn the board over and use it with the battens right-side up? The kitties would like it and you don't have to add in the expense of the grips. It *might* be easier for Bella, too, who is sliding around a bit trying to get down without touching the grips. Still, AWESOME build
I’m surprised Bella’s claws didn’t prevent her from sliding. She looked so dainty on the plank. I just love her donut.
@@Centralmassmedia She might've been declawed to prevent over scratching her skin.
LoL hahahaha
@@memez_r_life6692 declawing is illegal in the UK. I think she's just old.

That Raplh sure is one beautiful big black cat. He reminds me of my first cat Rosie.
This is wonderful. The kitties are able to enjoy the outdoors while protected from vultures, hawks and other predators. Excellent idea!l
I just hate the vultures in the U.K
one problem is that the cats can destroy the net thing using their claws
@@DefNotDemon we don’t get them
@@yourbadmate1963 he was being sarcastic
@@Red.Dead.B3ast I thought so but it's still not that obvious
You should make the cats a mini world to explore, with lots of world landmarks to play with, like the Houses of Parliament, The Statue of Liberty, The Atomium, etc.
Turn the Statue of Liberty into a cat head and the Houses of Parliament into the houses of purrliment

Absolutely delightful video.. and beautiful work on the catio.. so nice to see cats being cared for so well...😊
Thanks for acknowledging the ecological impact of cats on wildlife. I think that part of the video was well presented and not one-sided. That catio looks so great! Also love the way you put the drill sounds in musically some how? very satisfying.

Hi everyone! I recently planned an even bigger selfstanding catio for a client and she had it built this summer. Couple of things for anyone thinking of building this themselves: 1. If you live in a snowy environment make sure your poles and overall wood structure is thick and strong enough or else heavy snow will eventually skew and distort it (it happened with her previous catio which was built similar to the video after only one winter). We used 6x6inch main poles and 6x2 inch planks everywhere else - this is also because the finished catio is huge. 2. The wood that touches the ground should be a harder wood to keep it strong for as long as possible. If possible I would also suggest keeping the wood off the ground and instead burying the net in the ground in an L shape. I understand the one in the video will be kept for only a year tho so not an issue. Just for the people at home. If anyone needs some advice, id love to help. Hope that helped! Lovely video!
If you're burying the posts(or supports that the posts will be placed on) in the ground also figure out where your frost line is as that can have effects on structural integrity over time
Bella is so lucky 😻🍀🍀
Its so sad seeing the halos around Tom and Reggie ;d Thank you for caring so much about Bella and Ralph :D

-This is the best- This is the worst thing R.I.P
Has anyone realized that he times all the things to the background music? The drilling is most noticeable but imagine how much effort he puts into a single video…… KZhead really is a better place with him.
Hello Arisha how are you doing today
i love that nail sound 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love it. love Bella, Ralph, The catico, and you for building it for them and also for sharing with us. I hope that you can share more.
"I'm not allowed to drill batons into it" *builds a fricking house extension*
Chris in a nutshell
Facts tho
Factz
what does baton mean in british slang?
I'm sure the structure is designed to lean against the house without the use of fasteners. The only destructive means shown in the video were employed on the lawn, where he anchored the outer posts. It's similar to how I built my catio at a rental home, where the entire assembly is braced against the exterior wall with a couple of deck screws.
Chris: I'm moving houses in a year so it has to be freestanding. Also Chris: I'm going to put cement to stabilize the wood pillars.
Yes
@M.L. Adair could probably just dig up the cement and fill the hole back in, no?
I love your picture
And he only rents!
Freestanding = not attached to another structure.
i love these videos, this just proves you really love your cats! R.I.P reggie and tom, may you live happily above..
Amazing job!! I know the kitties are going to LOVE this!!
I love it when people build catios for their kitties. I feel like it’s really important and good to bring indoor cats at least some sort of access outside too, and I honestly think this is the best way to do so as they dont have to be on a leash (which isnt bad either, I just prefer this). It also tells how mich the owner loves their cats.
mich
There's also the question of money though. I'd love to do this. Don't know if I can afford it though.
@@bluecurlygirl shelving is pretty cheap, look around on garbage day for people throwing out old cabinets and just dismantle them. The caging is the most expensive part, but it doesn't have to be this huge and cats can be blocked in with chicken wire which is pretty cheap.

I wish more people would consider the impact of letting their cats free room. We've always had pet rabbits, we'd let run in our garden (proper dug in fences that were 3m above ground). And cats would climb the fences and attack them, one of our rabbits was even killed. It sucks cause we really didn't have a way of keeping them out.
Cats kill way too many birds as well
Population control
@@driftwood4960 birds are more scarce and as well they have an effect on eco systems some birds keep insects at lower population numbers with cats killing them they help contribute to more insects. Mosquitoes are one example.
It’s also so dangerous to the cats. I found a dead cat by the side of the road when walking to catch the train to work about 20 years ago. It was clear the person or people in the car stopped & likely felt bad. The cat did not appear to be feral, it looked like a well fed, well cared for house cat, he or she might have had a flea collar too, I don’t remember. But no tag with info, which I think the people must have been looking for. So they had covered the cat’s body with a towel (they moved the cat out of the road too & onto the curb.) The head wasn’t covered & it looked like one of my cats I had at the time. I looked under the towel for any marks I recognized (the wound on this cat was awful, this was 20 years ago, it haunts me still.) I couldn’t be sure, so despite thinking I’d miss the train, I ran home just to be sure my cat was still inside, even though I knew my cat hadn’t snuck out as I left for work because that wasn’t a thing my cat ever did. I just knew that I’d illogically worry all day that was my cat & I simply couldn’t recognize him in the state the dead cat was in. Outdoor cats aren’t as streetwise as people think. Plus, the most streetwise animal can’t deal with a human who is driving recklessly, or we’d never see dead wild animals like squirrels in the road. Keep your pets inside unless you are with them or provide a safe space like a catio
@@driftwood4960 Of people’s pet rabbits? Why would you post this?
Roof - could swap that opaque thing with a sheet of corrugated transparent stuff. I'd also suggest positioning adjacent to house to make a dry corner with dry access from the house - so they can go outside yet stay dry. My cat spends time in our front porch - sheltered yet outside. (edited - deleted stray letters and added the missing ones.)
Yupp I was about to say that. We did the same thing too
yep - we have a lean-to that uses transparent stuff to keep it light in there
Why is he soo adorable 😍 🐈⬛ and so cute when he's just touching that TV 😁
I just love these cats and the fun they have I'm glad they have an owner that loves them ❤
Chris: * makes a catio* *Everyone liked that*

For the people who said its cruel to have a cat indoors... well, there are in fact cats who prefer to be indoors. They'll probably like some fresh air but they don't necessarily go out. Keep a window/door open on hot days (with fence so they dont fall out) and they'll love sitting in that spot. Or a cat patio if thats possible :P
People who think keeping a ct indoors must really love having a dead cat
Agreed. My cats yammer on at 5:00 until I finally take them onto the balcony if our apartment. They stay out there for 10 minutes and then want to go back in and don’t ask to go out again until the next day at 5:00 am. I used to feel guilty until they started choosing to go in after a few minutes. Cats adapt pretty easily. At least I’ve never had any issue.
@@tramsroy2961 Dude, like Kathryn says below your comment, he/she takes the cats out but then they want to go in again after a few minutes. This is a similar example to my sisters cat, who love to lie in the sun but it doesnt like going outside that much. For myself, I had my cat outdoors, but it was an easy place for him as the plot was gigantic. He would spend the summers outside for a long time, but when it was winter or rainy he'd come back in and stay indoors for the most part unless he had to do his business(no cat toilet, he rarely used it) If you're assuming apartment people should have their cats more outdoors, well, they'll need a harness and supervision then. Which isn't exactly - natural for them either. See cats more like humans instead. Some cats love to be outside, others prefer to be inside while some other cats prefer to be a bit everywhere
I imagine any person would also also prefer being indoors if that's where they've been all their life. All creatures are hesitant about the unkown. I'm against having 100% indoor cats, I think people should normalize taking cats on walks(Yes, on a leash). After all, people would say it's cruel to keep a dog inside all its life, never going for walks, so why is it ok for cats?
@@gretafreitag2041 Very true! Taking cats on walks with you is healthy for the cat and keeps them out of harms way, unlike just letting them roam free. Letting cats roam free is more cruel than keeping them indoors as it can kill them and 100% kills wildlife. Taking them on walks on a leash is a great idea :)
You're a genius and purrfect cat owner! Now I need to find someone who can build me one. Keep the ideas coming and thanks.

@@sweatyskinfolds1385 rain doesn't just go straight down so if the wind is going in a certain direction it is very possible that it will get water inside where it is

When we wanted to take our cat out we put a leash on him and took him to the park. We brought an extendable leash to let him run around a bit. In our back yard we never let him leave the yard and always stand right next to him or close without a leash so he can roam freely.
Same, we used to let our cat outside freely and it was fine. Then he started a habit of climbing to the top of our 50 ft tree and getting stuck. Then he would just jump off and get scared and hurt. Now we have to keep him on a leash
Same, I live in a top floor apartment and my cat still goes outside almost daily. I just stand there while he sniffs around the neighbors patio and torments their indoor cat through the glass patio door. He's usually done with his "walk" after 10 minutes and runs back up the stairs when he hears any loud noise lol

I've lost so many of my kitties since moving to this state from predators,I finally lost it and discovered CATIOS on Pinterest. Now my cats can run free and I don't have to worry like I did. CATIOS are the best,great job! P.S. maybe add some pieces of outdoor carpet to the climbing board for more traction.🐱🐾🐾🐾💖
i double on the carpet sugestion, it will be better for Bella to not have to strugle so much to walk on the boards
Or rubber matting as its waterproof
That sandpaper like stair grip that's made for outdoor steps attaches like tape. Just peel and stick yet it's waterproof.
Climbing grips: Ralph: *sees normal climbing grips to help him go up and down* Bella: *sees deadly spikes so she avoids them at all costs*
Bella wants to challenge herself.
Lol
Bella: I have 9 lives so I can touch some
I’m pretty sure those are climbing wall grips for humans, how does he think the cats are going to grip them?? 😂 that plank needs astroturf or some other grippy surface so they can walk on it comfortably! 😭😭😭
@@Chickienugs A cat can't grip them but the angle of them can limit how far their paws can slip down and prevent them from needing their claws to climb up.
Chris would do anything for his cats and they are cute so subscribe to him. He does so much creating by scratch as well!!
indoor/outdoor rug or artificial turf on the platform could be a lot easier on the sensitive paws for the climbing wall sections. And, softer to lounge on for the other boards. 😊
It gives me a happy feeling inside watching your videos purely because of how much you love your cats and going to great lengths to make them happy. And you take time out of your own life to make them castles or cat patios. Well done you are 100% my favorite youtuber. RIP Reggie And Tom

"It's a, uh, place to put flower pots and the like. They look so pretty in the sun!" "Well, yes, I can imagine! What about the round dome?" "It's, uuhhmm... a big builtin pot! For, erm, bushes! Yes, wide, but low, bushy plants!"
My husband cat proofed our back yard. The back is about an 8th of a acre completely fenced in with an angled in wire extension on top (think about a prison or secret government building) nothing gets in and nothing gets out. Peace of mind at its finest
I think just calling it a "pet patio" would be self-explanitory and most people would think it's cool. Having a patio for cats, dogs, bunnies, birds and so on? Yes please! (Well, it may or may not be sturdy enough for dogs. Depends on the dog.) It could even add value to the house.
Didn't he say he's just renting?
with the way it is built, it's not impossible to take it with you when you're moving, but other than that, why not just say it was a patio for pets?
i love that you use the sounds of the stuff that you are doing matches with the song melody
I love this! Well done! We just took in a stray who quickly produced 3 kittens!! We’re keeping 2 of them plus Mum as the other kitten has a wonderful home with a lovely friend of ours. My husband has spent hours installing angled brackets and wire mesh all around our garden. We did this years ago for our other cats so they could also enjoy the outdoors but not climb out. Having lost cats in the past I could never take a chance and let them wander. Too many threats out there.
aww bella's reaction to seeing the open door was adorable "wait is this open?! can i outside?! should i go outside?! is freedom within reach?!" lol
