Cats spend a lot of time indoors, so when they go outdoors, they’re in heaven. But, it’s too risky to let them roam on their own outside. They could get really dirty, lost, or hurt. So, what to do? Get a “cat” for your backyard! Essentially, it’s a man cave for cats. It’s an enclosed backyard space that allows kitties to run around freely, relieve their stress on scratching posts, climb on shelves, stairs, and even a plant or two.
Sounds like a cat paradise, right?
But, you don’t have to break the bank to have one. You can make one yourself. But, you can also get pre-fabricated ones from stores like Cats on Deck.
Should you go the DIY route, Seattle based Catio Spaces,sells you the plans for $50. But, they also offer pre-fabricated ones. Pre-fabricated Catios can cost you between $2500 and $5000. Sure, that can sound like a hefty price for your furry friends, but if you live in an area near a busy road or around predators like coyotes, it can save on vet bills in the long run.
Adventure is out there…it’s a great time to be a cat 🙂 Share with friends!
