Idea 1.

A Perk for Your Pet. Cat patios, more commonly known as catios, let cats enjoy the outdoors from the safety of an enclosure. Screens, nylon mesh, or wire fencing that surround the play area not only contain the cats in a defined space but also keep potential predators outside. Some catios are large and expansive enough for multiple cats to relax or to play together. Others are more compact and may even attach to a window for one cat to enjoy. Use these catio ideas for inspiration to give your furry friend the opportunity to soak up the sun and relax, observe animals and nature, and jump and climb in a protected environment.

Idea 2.

Sun-Filled Solarium. This cat solarium is the perfect space for felines who love to sunbathe. The curved design provides cats with a panoramic view of the area to watch birds or other small animals, while the mesh screen attachment keeps bugs away. Even apartment-dwellers with limited space can provide their kitties with this catio since the solarium inserts into an existing window opening. Cats can let themselves in and out of the solarium as desired using the pet door attached to the back panel.

Idea 3.

Sun and Shade. This large wooden catio offers multiple levels of fun and plenty of space for more than one cat to enjoy nature. The catio features a large outdoor area with a metal wire frame, a hinged door, and a sliding door to keep kitties contained and let them look out at their surroundings. A wooden ramp gives cats the opportunity to climb up into one of the enclosed upper sections where they can stay dry or escape the heat.

Idea 4.

Portable Playtime. Let your cat or kitten enjoy playtime on the go with a portable catio. This rectangular screened-in playpen folds when not in use for easy storage and transport. It is crafted using a heavy-duty, water-resistant nylon with mesh sides. This catio’s design also features stakes to keep it securely anchored to the ground. Hoping to get your cat together with some of its feline besties? You can even connect two of these playpens together to create a more spacious outdoor play area. Available on .
