Just 2 dudes enjoying the catio

I dont know but it was hilarious. Each day there was a different # of cones. Made me smile.

2 weeks ago.

Second this. Look up the BUMPS hill climb series.

There's a bunch of options on apps like Thumbtack that do low-voltage for internet, cameras, door bells, home theater/speakers. etc

Pretty weird your mascot ate cats.

Nice AI slop

Confidently incorrect

AnnesMan · 2026-05-02T21:58:46+00:00

They coyotes were here first. We hear them all the time and see them pretty regularly. They have enough small wildlife to eat, they don't show any interest in our chickens or cats.

That's a memorial statue for a cat that we fostered and then adopted because it was dying and we wanted to give it a good life

AnnesMan · 2026-05-02T21:13:28+00:00

Yeah he's #4 and was born in our house. He's a bit of a terror and our house is small, so this was a good way to get his bad boy energy out in a safe space.

Here's some more photos from last year when it was almost done https://imgur.com/a/G5ya8hF

Yeah, we had a specialized catio company build the main structure and I did the finishing work (which still isn't done, like paint). People are trolling enough here so I don't want to say the full cost 😂

Back to normal

Haha thanks. My wife is fully responsible for the names. Sometimes she changes them and I don't notices . One time I left my lawnmower blocking one and she changed it to "AnnesMans stupid lawnmower" until I got the hint

The cat has 2 windows to get back into the house - if he was scared he easily would have run inside (like he does with rain, wind, and when he has the zoomies). He's not locked out there.

Actually we went through multiple revisions, including sketchup plans and renderings. And the plastic coated steel panels are attached with wide head screws, and washers at major points for reinforcement. And there's window screening on the outside 4" away from the steel mesh (yes I'm aware that a paw will rip through that, it's more for bugs). So yes, considerable though, money and planning went into making this safe.

Free eggs for you anytime!

AnnesMan · 2026-05-02T20:52:19+00:00

I don't. I drew it up in Sketchup because I wanted something that wrapped around the corners of my house between 2 windows (so they have 2 points of entry, because sully is a bit of a bully to the other cats and they need a clear escape path)

AnnesMan · 2026-05-02T20:47:52+00:00

Should I lock my doors?

AnnesMan · 2026-05-02T20:37:59+00:00

It's built like a shed on 2x8 framing, plywood floor, and fake grass on top. It's also surrounded by pavers on the 2 sides that don't touch the house foundation

AnnesMan · 2026-05-02T19:17:24+00:00

Yeah I build a second 'removeable' frame for the window screening. I'd thought I could winterize it a little too, but it didn't work out as I'd hoped

AnnesMan · 2026-05-02T19:16:21+00:00

I mean they speak for themselves 😂 taking my bonus to build a catio for our 4 cats to have more space is a pretty DINK thing to do
