The Whisker Way
The Whisker Way is a stunning custom catio and tunnel system designed to give cats the ultimate outdoor adventure while keeping them safe. Built from cedar lumber and secured with 1x1 black PVC-coated critterfencing, this project features two main catios connected by up to 60 feet of elevated tunnels. The first catio (2’ x 5’ x 8’) includes a wood-walled base for privacy and leads into a long tunnel system that winds toward the fence by the hot tub, complete with scenic perches near the pergola and above the fence opening for birdwatching and lounging. The second structure offers two additional enclosures (3’ x 2’ x 8’ and 5’ x 3’ x 8’) outfitted with bug screening, shelves, and ramps to encourage climbing and play. With a clear polycarbonate roof overhead, The Whisker Way blends beauty, durability, and function, creating a multi-level playground where cats can roam, perch, and explore to their hearts’ content.
The Tree-Line Tunnel Adventure
This custom 10 ft x 6 ft x 8 ft freestanding catio is connected by an expansive 35 ft tunnel system that winds through the landscape and wraps around a pine tree, creating a truly immersive outdoor experience. Built with pressure-treated lumber for the main structure and redwood for the elevated tunnel, it features multiple cat access doors, a clear polycarbonate roof for light and protection, and posts set directly into the ground for a natural, grounded design. Inside, cats can enjoy ramps, shelves, and a floor-to-ceiling natural scratch post, while the extended tunnel offers a safe, enriching pathway that blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
The Cedar Skyline
This spacious 12 ft x 6.5 ft x 10 ft freestanding catio is built on an existing deck and designed to mirror the home’s roofline for a seamless look, featuring rich walnut-stained cedar, durable black PVC-coated wire, and a sloped polycarbonate roof. A custom tunnel connects from a wall-installed cat door—transitioning from a compact entry to a taller interior opening with a built-in bench—leading into a vertical playground complete with shelves, ramps, two cedar cubbies, and a striking floor-to-ceiling natural scratch post, all accessible through a full-size human door for easy interaction and maintenance.
