My cats would love to go outside, but I live on an upper floor and I don't want them to fall from the balcony. Here's what I came up with. Enjoy!

I really like how simple this catio is. I would like to do this and maybe add another foot or so and another story level

@scapesketch5721 11 месяцев назад

Good idea! If I had to design it over again, I would have made it taller to allow for some climbing platforms inside.

Finally, a video that doesn't require unreasonable/expensive tools to make something! So excited to build my cats an apartment catio! :D

Great slitting for this small space and lovely way to have a safe outside option!

@scapesketch5721 11 месяцев назад

Glad you like it!

@allenau1 Год назад

Thanks for sharing your design. This is exactly what I’m looking for a New York!

@scapesketch5721 11 месяцев назад

You are so welcome! Yes, I imagine kitty space is limited in NY!

@patricia-smiles Год назад

Put some shelves, dude!! They love heights, right?? Your catio looks AWESOME. Very nice job!

@scapesketch5721 11 месяцев назад

Yes they do. If I had to design it over again, I would have made it taller to allow for some platforms inside.

@joannaransier6162 Год назад

thank you. That's almost exactly what I'm needing and was having difficulty imaging a nonpemanent design for a small space. With a few adjustments it would be purrfect

@scapesketch5721 11 месяцев назад

I'm glad I could help. Did you end up building one for your cats?

@dmcfarlane4976 Год назад

I really like this catio, thanks for showing us.

@kensmith5694 10 месяцев назад

With my cat, I would have had to add a thing to keep the screen door from being pushed open further. He could open a lot of stuff so I would want to make sure. Also, I would have put a scratching post sort of thing in there too with a shelf. With two cats this can give them each a place to watch the same bird from.

@Ct-qr6nw Год назад

Buen trabajo pero creo que es más cómodo cerrar la terraza con una malla o red para gatos. También se puede poner una malla de gallinero. Un saludo.

@sharonmontag2389 Год назад

Impressive, especially since you. Uilt it in your apt.

@Axqu7227 Год назад

Awesome build! I’d recommend hardware cloth over chicken wire for predator protection and preventing kitties from destroying it

@deannamoore1281 Год назад

Agree. Don't ever understimate cats' ability to push out the staples and push the screen out.

@scapesketch5721 11 месяцев назад

For sure. Chicken wire definitely would be a must for some cats. Mine are pretty chill and the screen and staples have not been a problem.

@djjones7039 Год назад

lmao I thought you wrote that ur kitties name was “BlueBalls”(: 😹 I was like oh well that’s different 😂

@carolmckee8456 11 месяцев назад

I bet you wish you'd designed the people door accessable from the balcony, eliminating the need to remove the screen door extension whenever you need to get in there. Other than that, perhaps another couple of feet taller would have been good, but really, this is genius.

@scapesketch5721 11 месяцев назад

There are always design changes I would make if I had to do it over again. I definitely agree, making it a couple feet taller would have made room for some climbing platforms inside.

@energeticsoulhealer888 Год назад

Maybe give your fur babies an outdoor tunnel/cat run so they can use some of their instincts to run around. Also they need a much bigger, higher space to jump up, etc. Look at 'our catio home's' channel for inspiration. You did a great job on this, but it almost seems like a cruel teaser....

@djjones7039 Год назад

no i guarantee the kitties love it

@scapesketch5721 11 месяцев назад

True. And if I had to design it over again, I would have made it taller to allow for some platforms inside.

@s.a6836 Год назад

I'd like to have something like this but I live in the middle east and 75% of the time it's way too hot to have the balcony open and probably too hot for my cat to even want to go out there. In the winter months the weather is a bit pleasant and we can go out to parks and stuff so I'm not sure it'd be worth it

@audraelynnegrimmelhaussen8808 Год назад

You can have one made that has wheels on it so when it's winter and you want to take your cat outside, you can wheel them in their portable catio

@Schaneification 7 месяцев назад

@mariemedeiros5672 Год назад

Is there a gap at top to block off

@elizabeth2416 10 месяцев назад

Why can't they just sit on the balcony?

@m1sh474 20 дней назад

Oh no this is bad, IMO. Sorry OP because you worked so hard. It would have been easier to cover the entire balcony with a standard 16-gauge fencing wire, so both of you can enjoy the balcony without taking space out and also, wasting all that wood for such a small enclosure.

🤦teniendo tanta herramienta y solo cabe un gato, eso es como jaula para hámsters..🙄 pudiste haber hecho un túnel a los lados enfrente del balcón...así si serían felices y sentirse libres los gatitos....!! O cerrar todo el balcón con tela y poner bases altas en la pared para que escalen🤔🤦
