Give Your Indoor Cat a Taste of Nature with a ‘Catio’

If you have indoor cats, you’re gonna want one of these in your lives. You always see your cat staring through the windows at your house, so why not let them explore the great outdoors without worrying about them running away or getting into a fight with a feral cat (or a coyote)? What I’m trying to say is, you need a ‘catio’ in your life.

Catio Spaces sells plans for enclosed outdoor areas for our feline friends that allows them to enjoy the outdoors in a safe way. All you have to do is order the plans (they run between $40-$70) and then it’s up to you to put the DIY project together. The catios have escape-proof wiring and shelves that allow cats to climb and lounge as they please.

The folks at Catio Spaces say, “Cats naturally want to be outside where they can breathe fresh air and experience the sights, sounds and stimulation of the natural world. A catio, an outdoor cat enclosure or ‘cat patio,’ is the purrfect solution to solve the indoor/outdoor dilemma.” Purrfect, get it?!?

This Note for the Babysitter Isn’t About the Baby – It’s About the Crazy Cat

Many first time parents find leaving their little one with a babysitter a hard thing to do. You worry about your child missing you, about the person you choose being the best fit for the job, and a million other little things…but most of us don’t worry about how the babysitter will handle our insane cat.

For Twitter user @twisteddoodles, it wasn’t so much about how to care for their cat, but how to be in the same house as their cat and not get accosted.

Her instructions basically read like a manual for cat owners, period.

Because there are really two kinds of cats: sweet, loving cats and complete and utter jerks who are just putting up with each other.

Twitter loved the report back from the babysitter, and of course, could empathize.
