I am an indoor kitty and for a few years now Mum has been going on about how she will build me a catio once we move to a new house (which at the moment doesn't look like is happening anytime soon).
She's been looking at catios and cat enclosures online but they seem to be really expensive. Building one would be cheaper but she's not into DIY. There are also companies that will do it for you but again, maybe too expensive for us as I am not earning the money I should be as a cat model, influencer or ambassador. Yeah, it seems I will never be a famous kitty like some :(
Nevermind, I have all I need in life to be happy💚
So, here is a small selection of catio and enclosure ideas Mum found on Amazon UK. Now, if I had one of those it would be just pawsome! If you have an indoor cat and want to let them safely outdoors for some fresh air, now is the time to start looking because spring is just around the corner!

How timely of a post! I'm actually researching catios at the moment. We had a small one that I just got rid of because we're redoing our back patio area. I want to provide a nicer one for them. I've thought about DIY -- but if I want it to stay standing, I better not go that route! :-)
I feel that way too. It needs to be secure so I guess I'll have to pay someone to install it for me.
#5 looks very interesting! We probably will have to dismantle our back deck soon (support beams are rotted), so a pre-made set up might be the purrfect item!
Gosh! Such cool Catios! I do LOVE mine though!
My Catio is an IKEA shelving hack! It is purrfect for the small deck we have. Purrhaps I will get Mom to share mine and how it was made --- after the software rollout Mom is busy with.

Those are all pawsome catios ! #4 looks great ! Purrs
I can't afford these, but they do look nice. I think you deserve fame and fortune Athena! XO
These are all really cool!
Those look like fun!
Oh my goodness, these are all super fancy. I am sure Rosie would love them.
I hope you can get your new catio soon! Manna, Dexter, and I will never be famous either, but I've heard that fame isn't all it is cracked up to be. You are a celebrity to us! We love seeing you online. :) These catios are a great ideas. If we had a yard, we would build one too.
It does look nice :)
Tell your mom to share when she has time. We'd love to know :)
Yes, that's our fave :)
We can't really afford them either :(
They are!
They do!
They do look great!
Oh Athena, my Dad has been talking about building me a catio for awhile now, but I don't see him with any wood or hammers yet! I like your list of catio options here and I really like the same one you do. And Athena - YOU ARE FAMOUS. Don't ever think otherwise, Goddess. (blowing a kiss) -Valentine (& Mom) of Noir Kitty Mews
I like the second to the last one the best! catchatwithcarenandcody
I didn't know there were so many options! The last one is my favorite because the cat can choose privacy if he feels the need.
OH how I LOVE those. Momma wishes she could get one for me. XX
Those all look great! I would love to have a catio built for Mudpie one day.
TW wanted a unit with a catio when they moved here but decided to go for the NYC view instead. Now she wishes we had the catio so I could go out.
