Our cats are finally starting to enjoy our catio after the interruption of our dog visitors. It took Floki until Wednesday but once out, he loved it.
Frankie goes out more often than Chris or Floki, not because he likes it more but because he is the one most likely to be hanging out near the back door when somebody goes outside.
The weather is starting to cool down here and I expect we will be outside more often which means the cats will be outside more often too. Its a win win.
As a side note, we had people over for dinner yesterday and later that evening we were sitting on the catio and a very cut grey kitten came up on the step and peeked in through the screen door. I believe I saw another cat walk by before I saw that kitten but it was dark. I put my hand against the screen and he smelled me and then walked over to the edge of the catio. I wanted to go get treats for him but considering our limited time here it is not wise to get them dependent on us. Fortunately, our cats were not on the catio at the time.
Bad Cat Chris 
It’s great they can SAFELY enjoy “outside” on the catio……it’s a nice big space for ALL of you to enjoy fresh air. A wonderful addition to the house. Nice to know there are other cats in the neighborhood too!

There are many strays that are being fed. I think I mentioned last year that an old lady with a dozen or so cats died and her son just dumped the cats on the street. The lady across the alley feeds them and I think another person offers them shelter in his garage.
That catio is big, and for sure the cats love it.
Yes, the do. It is not the same as being outside but it is close.
Yes, and they don’t need leashes and harnesses. They feel free.
So true.
What a great catio ! How nice that you can enjoy safely the outside ! Purrs
Thanks. It is nice.
Wonderful that your cats can enjoy catio time in a such a spacious area!
Yes. They might be spoiled. 🙂
Those kitties are very brave to stay out alone. I will only stay on the balcony if Mom stays with me.
Love and licks,

We have not let our cats out on the catio alone yet. Maybe soon though.
That catio is the place to be!
They do seem to like it.
They know they are so lucky to have a catio to enjoy!
I think we spoiled them too much. We built that thing mostly for them.
It looks like a great place for the cats to escape the religious zealots and acolytes that go door to door promoting their trance of salvation.
Nice catio.. Is there a rescue group close by that can help the outside kitties?
I think there is in the county but not in town. I believe the residents are taking care of the cats but after seeing a kitten the other day I wonder if they are having them fixed.
That catio is awesome! And how cool that you have visitors. My human caught ours and had them spayed and neutered.
That was great that she did that.
Nothing like a day on the Catio for all
It is nice out there.
