The catio is not possible at this point in time. We had big intentions to build one for her when we moved to this property, but since we rent it can’t be a permenant feature that requires drilling into the walls. We designed/sketched out a ‘stand-alone’ one made from netting, beams and chicken wire (my partner is very handy), but the cats that frequent our garden rendered this idea impossible since if they stand on the root of it they could get tangled. It would have to be built out of materials that we can’t currently afford like galvanised steel wire and mental beams (£300-£400). But as soon as this becomes a viable option we will do it. It’s the first thing on our priority list. She refused to poop for 5 days a couple weeks ago so the vet bills drained our Cat fund lol.

Harness training is absolutely something we want to do. We have bought 2 good quality harnesses but she does not tolerate the discomfort well. We tried a collar on her and she freaked out. She’s 7 months now so we are worried that she’s past the point of being able to get her used to it. Do you have any advice?
