Transcript

00:00We catified our bedroom and our bathroom.

00:11As a guardian, I have a responsibility to give them the best possible life.

00:17Cats require stimulation.

00:21The thing that brings them the most stimulation is a catio.

00:27They just go crazy and chase each other going around and around.

00:33Catio cats are happier cats.

00:37I built my first catio 20 years ago.

00:39I was living in a small apartment.

00:41I had two kittens and they were not getting along.

00:45I tried everything to remedy the situation and nothing worked.

00:49Finally, I built a catio on my balcony and it changed their lives.

00:55They did become friends.

00:58I've seen over and over again the joy and happiness it brings to both the cats and the

01:04cat guardians.

01:10People can trust me to build fun, stimulating, and most importantly, safe enclosures for

01:16their cats.

01:17I just feel like I have the best job in the world.

01:21The most overlooked thing about cats is the amount of stimulation cats need.

01:32We show up on site and we bring all the materials.

01:36First thing my crew does is prime and paint the lumber.

01:39We do the framing and then all the interior elements, the shelves, the bed perches, the

01:47climbing poles, the cat ladders, and finally we add the wire mesh.

02:18There are so many benefits to catios.

02:21They can get fresh air, feel the sun, check out all the birds and squirrels and bugs.

02:30Cat camaraderie will improve and it works wonders on their mental state and well-being.
