Large Wooden Outdoor Cat House Catio Enclosure

Large Wooden Outdoor Cat House Catio EnclosureWe have an indoor cat named Romeo. Our boy will be turning 3 years old in September. He loves to sit in front of all of the different windows in our home and spend time in our enclosed sunroom. He’s yearning to get outside but that would be dangerous for an indoor only cat.

Last month I saw a Large Wooden Outdoor Cat House Enclosure on Amazon and decided to buy it. This enclosure allows our cat to spend time outdoors and to be safe while out there. It will come to you unassembled, but I found assembly to be easy. I had it all assembled in one afternoon. They’re available in a few different colors.

It’s quite large in size measuring 71″ by 71″ by 38″ in size. You can definitely use it with more than one kitty inside. There are 6 different wooden platforms for your feline to climb up, lay down or just hangout on. There’s no bottom to it, so you want to make sure it’s on a secure surface, so that they don’t dig underneath it and get out. We keep our’s on our cement patio with a roof overhead. I’m going to make a wood platform to fit underneath it line with faux grass for comfort. That’s my next project.

The walls are made out of a sturdy wire mesh which allows the air to circulate through and the sunshine to stream on in. Things that all kitties love! There’s a door on the front with a latch so that you can place your furry ball of love into the enclosure. Our boy has actually learned to come to the door when we want to get him out.

Once I get the platform designed and built…we’re going to add some additional toys and features to keep Romeo busy while he’s in the enclosure…along with a cat napping bed. You can really customize it any way that you like once you have it constructed. If you’re going to keep them in it for any length of time I recommend a comfortable bed, a food dish and water dish to be placed inside.

Romeo wasn’t sure about it at first so we started out with 15 minute play sessions in his new Catio Enclosure. After 3 days he was loving it and felt totally secure in it. He really enjoys going outside in his new enclosure to soak up the sun and breathe in the fresh air. I highly recommend these things if you have cats and want to give them SAFE outside play time.

He loves to run, hide, and play. I decided to make him some fun new things which I installed in our family game room. It’s turning out to be his playroom and playground. He loves spending time in that room!

The first thing that I made was the wooden platform that I attached to the wall near the ceiling. I lined it with carpeting so that he can grab onto it with his claws and have a comfortable nap. When making one you want to make sure you make it large enough for an adult cat. Make sure the height is appropriate so the cat can sit up straight comfortably.

Leading up to the platform are 6 wooden steps also wrapped in carpet. They’re little platforms so he can climb up to the big one. You want to stagger them up the wall at an angle, like a staircase for your kitty to climb up. Make sure they’re appropriately spaced and attached to studs within your wall.

Wood Craft Kitty Cat Wall Bridge

Across the one window I made 2 more wooden step platforms and attached a wooden bridge. He can walk across it to get to the larger platform, sit on the bridge to watch the birds out the window or take a nap on it when the sunshine is streaming in.

All of these items took me 2 full weekends to make (start to finish) and I spent about $100 on supplies. Took me another hour or so to get everything installed onto the wall. A nice project for our little boy to enjoy.

If you can’t build items like this for your furry friend you can certainly buy them from Amazon and construction your own Kitty Cat Playground.
