Catios

[Catherine]

I am putting this under art because in some way they are a work of art. A catio is a cat patio. It is a structure  attached to a house that give a cat access to the outside, through a window, into an enclosed structure. It is a safe alternative to letting a cat roam the streets. It allows a cat more freedom and variety than looking out a window.

The idea is catching on. It just might take a while to make them simpler and easier to install. Someday there will be an Ikea version with allen key  and some name that we can't pronounce. 

It is a good idea. Cats on the street get killed. They encounter traffic, raccoons, coyotes, toxins and diseases. There are so many dangers. Some kind of safe sun room attached to the house is exactly what they need.
