Daily Cat Lesson: The Great Outdoors - Without Going Out

🐾 Daily Cat Lesson: The Great Outdoors - Without Going Out

Your cat can enjoy the outdoors without becoming an outdoor cat.

🐾 Why keep cats indoors?
Free-roaming cats face cars, dogs and other predators, fights, parasites, disease, poisons and the risk of simply getting lost.
Indoors is safer. But there's one problem:
🐾 Cats REALLY want to know what's happening outside.
Fresh air. Sunshine. Birds. Lizards. Bugs. Interesting smells. To a cat, the backyard is television and breaking news rolled into one.
🐾 The solution? A catio!
A catio gives cats the sights, smells and fresh air of outdoors while keeping them safely enclosed.
And it doesn't have to be huge.
At our B-Farm house we have a large catio, but our good friend Pelmen just got this clever narrow version along the side of his house. Shelves and a climbing ramp turn a small footprint into plenty of vertical territory.
🐾 No room for a big catio? Build UP.
Even a small enclosure can give a cat space to climb, perch, watch and lounge. A screened porch, enclosed balcony or secure window catio can work too.
And judging by Pelmen's position at the top - the neighborhood is now under surveillance. 👀🐈
