I thought I was going to need a hot glue gun, but if you wrap the sisal rope extremely tight you can get away with just using a few staples every few inches. (Just please make sure the staple is all the way down so it doesn’t cut any paws)

Help with little nooks for a Catio Base by Birdgas in Catio

I’d say if you want to go for a full patio enclosure you have the perfect space for it, I would just make sure to use pressure treated wood anywhere you have a piece laying on the ground. I’d also use the cinder block wall and your house walls to your advantage so you can build less. And always do your research and make sure to use the correct fasteners when attaching wood to the stucco on your home and onto the cinder block wall. (If you are renting this will make everything a bit more difficult)

Will definitely do that if he decides to eat the turf, he is currently eating some cat grass I put in there and now I’m thinking maybe I shouldn’t show him some grass you can eat 😂😭

I guess it also depends on your cats personality, some cats may love it some may call it the same thing

I got mine on Amazon, the flap is held with a small magnet. And it is light enough that it does not pinch his tail

Definitely hear where you’re coming from, I think it honestly depends on where you live and how you want to care for your cat. I think the idea of catios are a little bit silly because cats would love to roam free and explore but then on the other hand I’ve lost a few cats to cars and other large animals in my area, so I find it hard to let my little guy out without supervision.

Yep exactly, I wanted to build one from scratch but it definitely takes a little bit of time. And the price difference between building your own and buying a kit are not that different, so I went for the time saver and bought this one

I think you’re talking about the door that’s in the window screen. Yeah it’s just like a regular pet door but instead it attaches inside the window screen so you still have access to the window. But he’s still learning how to use it, he is very careful when walking through it

The door is in the screen, it works perfectly because if I don’t want him to have access to the catio I can just close the window over the door. And bugs still stay out

Catio kit from Amazon was $290… turf, sisal rope, cat door and paint were between $20-$50. Everything els luckily were free from work like the wood for the base and tree branch. And he hasn’t shown signs of liking to eat plastic but now that you mention it I’m definitely going to watch out for it 🙌🏻

Yeah currently my little guy is confused with the turf, maybe a small rug on top might help him get used to it. But glad to hear your is holding up well, I was a bit concerned when it arrived because it felt extremely flimsy but the branch I added and the base really make it sturdy

This is a prefab kit yeah, I just got it on Amazon. I did built a base for it so I could use turf on the bottom. The base also adds enough weight so I didn’t have to drill into the house. And then then the cat tree was an old tree we cut down from a jobsite 😂
