I Built an ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND CATIO For My Cats

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? ...

  • 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!

  • 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.

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.

  • 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!

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.

    • 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

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.

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 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.

  • I love this channel so much, almost any other KZheadr would have picked up their cats and put them in the bubble just for content, but you don’t because you can see that they don’t want to go in. It shows that your really love them and it’s amazing.
