The Skyway Catio |
The challenge
on this project was getting the cats from a screened porch in
the house out to a new freestanding catio on the deck. An
elevated skyway solved the problem! |
|
This catio
uses gray PetScreen, a tough polyester screening material that
keeps cats in and insects out. And from inside the catio,
it still gives the cats a great view of the outdoors. |
|
The skyway
needed to have a full six feet of clearance for walking
underneath into the yard. |
|
The skyway was
constructed using welded wire hardware cloth. Cat doors at
both ends provide a seal against insects coming into either
room. |
|
Here's a cat's
eye view looking across the nine foot long skyway from inside
the screen porch. |
|
There's plenty
of room for two cats to pass going opposite directions in the
skyway. Some of them seem to like hanging out in the
skyway as much as they enjoy their new catio!

|
The catio will
be as much a hangout for mom and dad as for all the kitties, so
this enclosed cubby will provide a cozy hideway spot for the
kitties and also doubles as a coffee table. |
