New owners always ask me โis keeping your Chartreux inside cruel?โ … I say if you stimulate them regularly, no, and it keeps them safe (see outside dangers below) โฆโฆ. letโs face it, an average cat enjoys up to 16 hours sleep per day anyway!
I understand not everyone can accommodate a catio in their home, but if you can I would say go for it! It doesnโt have to be grand or expensive either, there are plenty of ideas on the internet from small window balcony types to elaborate looking castles! If you are good at DIY there are many online videos demonstrating DIY catios, but if you’re the kind of person that doesn’t own a hammer there are other options too! There are specialist companies now that just make catios in the UK or you could like us, opt for a carpenter/builder who will make you one to your own specific design.
Here is a video of our newly built catio, enjoy. It took a long time coming!!…. long story short, I got let down back in May (not by the person that finally built this one) and it has taken until October to complete, but we are extremely happy with the final result. I will up-date regularly with new add-ins โ we are due to have the roof added all the way across, guttering, water feature and a middle planter for grass, so I will keep you posted!…keep scrolling down after video for more information….
Catios have a huge positive impact on indoor cats and promote healthy exercise time as well as being kept safe from outdoor dangers like traffic, predators, cat theft and poisons. Nothing has given me more pleasure lately than seeing our girls enjoying the outside freely, giving us peace of mind that they secure and safe
Cats are subjectable to many dangers when unsupervised outdoors.
And the positives:
These are just my own personal experience since owing a catio, but I thought I would share – sorry I haven’t been blogging for a while.
Nova’s first litter from 2019 is one year old today…thank you for the new owners for sending through these beautiful photos to see how stunning they look x
This weekend will see 3 kittens go to their forever homes. I hope they will bring as much joy to their new parents as they have to us ๐
