A cat enclosure is a perfect solution to let your kitty enjoy fresh air and sunshine without getting lost or getting harmed. A catio can also keep your dogs far away from the cats and avoid any problems and conflicts. The size of this enclosure is up to you and your backyard, it may be even a small space that is adjusted to your window. To make cat’s staying inside more interesting and fun, you may add tree branches, cat scratchers, cat grass, various beds or just platforms to jump and sleep on. Let’s take a look at the ideas that exist and you’ll get inspired to build or buy one!
Smaller Cat Enclosures
Smaller cat enclosures are nice for balconies, small decks, backyards and just to attach to a window outdoors. Such a catio can have nothing but a bed and that’s it or a cat tower or tree to climb up – such catios usually don’t accommodate a lot and can be a nice for no more than 2 cats. If you don’t have space for a toilet and a water bowl, let the cat go in and out whenever it wants to feel comfortable. If the enclosure doesn’t have any roof, an easy entrance/exit is necesary to avoid overheating or keep away from rain.

Larger Cat Enclosures
A large cat enclosure can be styled in various ways: it can be a greenery patio, a deck, a balcony or even a cat-human space with various furniture. If your cats love living spaces, concentrate on green grass and potted plants and greenery or even trees that can’t harm kitties if they bite them. If your cats love sleeping outdoors, go for lots of tiered beds and even place some human furniture to let them sleep on it. Have many cats? Built several towers and cat trees and place tiered beds to let everyone have their own place. A toilet, some drinking water will be a nice idea if you want to leave your cats there for some time. A roof or some shaded shelter is another must if you are going to leave your cat inside an enclosure for some time as it can rain or it can get really hot. Get inspired and spoil your cats with fresh air and sunshine!
