      Only thing missing was a "floor." They'll use the dirt floor for a cat box, even though you have one for them. Some cats don't like to use a litter box once it has been used!

    My dad has offered to help me build a catio for my cats so I thought I would look up videos on how to do it. I am almost crying at the amount of love and attention to detail you have put into this catio. You are a wonderful human. I hope the cats are all doing well and have continued to enjoy the space.

    • @Nirrrina
      @Nirrrina ปีที่แล้ว +12

      But of advice. Don't use chicken wire just because it's cheap.
      Use the more expensive hardware cloth that predators can't just reach through.
      Don't forget that predators can also dig up under things too. So if it's on the ground you might put a layer between the ground & the cats.
      If I were you I'd consider starting with a smaller catio to test the waters. It can take cats a bit to actually use things. I recommend drugs I mean catnip spray to encourage them.
      But when you plan out the smaller catio I'd plan for it to be easily expanded in size by adding more to it.
      But take anything I say with a grain of salt & research. Because I've watched various videos of different animal containment shelters.
      But I've never gotten around to trying to build one on my apartment porch yet. Downstairs apartment porch. Although I could put a taller one outside my bedroom window. I don't think management would like it.
      Also I'm lazy. I do ideas more than follow through. Still come up with some doozies though. Occasionally.
      Fly free my little idea birdies. Fly free & annoy people.
      Good luck & enjoy building with your dad.

  • @mypointofview1111
    @mypointofview1111 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    This is a great cateo but it would be improved if you put in a few solid wood small houses, about the same size as the feeding and pooping station. The reason behind this is that during cold weather it's nice for the cats to go somewhere where they're not too exposed to the wind and cold and they can just have a little shelter. Cats also like to be warm so if you put some folded blankets inside those small houses they'd appreciate it. I understand they're farm cats but they're still cats.
    As for Dexter, if anyone finds a way out of that cateo he will, he's a real escape artist

    Catios are great for cats. We have coyotes so they need to he attached to another room in the house to be able to go inside in case of a storm or danger. Enclosed Cat runs high along the fence are an extra with protection at the top so they can't get out. They are best for people who have a fenced yard.
    Adding some foliage trees and boxes inside the catio are nice too.
    Cats love to hide.
    Rollers on top of the fence keep the raccoons and coyotes from jumping inside the yard.
    I know the coyotes will try to dig too..

    We built a catio 20 years ago so that our inside cats could enjoy the outdoors without interacting with our outside cats. This was before the name catio came into use. We used a 10ft x 10ft dog kennel covered with chicken wire. That gives them 100 Sq ft to play in. The cats enter the enclosure from a cat door that goes thru our kitchen wall. We built an outdoor cat tree, added pipes and large tree limbs. Bedded with soft mulch that we can change or add to every couple of years. The outside cats enjoy it too. We put a ladder next to the enclosure so the outside cats can sit on top of the enclosure. The north side is against the house. The west side and top are covered by canvas tarps. Just another way to go.

      Wow, you folks practically pioneered the catio. Amazing creativity. Now people can just go to TH-cam to get ideas.

    I don't believe that cats should be allowed to free roam outdoors, but that is not an issue that I wish to discuss here.
    I DO, however, want to give you mad credit for installing this high quality, safe, catio and deciding to keep them in at night.
    If they are all spayed & neutered (including the kittens as soon as they are all old enough), I give you a wholehearted 💯!

    Fantastic job!! Thank you for treating your pets so well and now locking in your cats at night!
    This may help you: Cats have one of the best hearing ranges of all animals and can hear both high and low frequencies. According to research carried out by the National Library of Medicine, they can hear frequencies of up to 85 kHz (85000 Hertz).
    Cats can hear ultrasonic sound waves produced by a dog whistle. Dog whistles produce high frequencies because they’re above the frequency humans can hear. Cats hearing range is between 48 Hz to 85 kHz, while dogs can hear 40Hz to 60kHz. .
    While cats can hear dog whistles, they probably won’t respond to them unless they have been trained using a dog whistle. If you want to train your cat with a dog whistle, you’ll need to pair the sound with positive reinforcement like treats or petting. Only then will your cat associate the sound of the whistle with something pleasant.

    I’m so glad to see this. Personally, I think dogs and cats both need to be indoors, or at least protected somehow, overnight. Great video. Thanks for sharing bc we need to build something just like that for our yard as well! 😊 👍🏼

    • @lukeyznaga7627
      @lukeyznaga7627 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree, Mj6962. If you live int he wilds or outdoor rural communities or on a farm, the normal dogs and cats CAN'T SURVIVE or compete with big predators or wolves or Bobcats, etc. The dog should not be in an outside "doghouse" at night. the cats love going outside, sometimes at night, but that activity is safer in a suburbs, not in a rural, wild farm community or near the big outdoors.
