Catio Owners | Greg and Salli Cook | “The one pictured above is ours. Our cats love it. They can go outside, hang out by the bird and squirrel feeders, nap in the tree level tunnel. Without the fear of being attacked. Our 12 year old girl was an indoor only cat in our small home. The first time she went in the catio, she came back in all excited, chirped at us telling us all about it, then ran back out to play. It also has helped with transitioning our two rescue kitties (one was homeless and the other feral) into indoor cats as they can still run and enjoy the outdoors.”
