A Purr-fect Perch

Add a catio to your patio, and your domesticated feline will feel like a jungle cat. It's the trendy outdoor living space designed to keep your pet happy and safe.

A mobile, left and opposite, is fun for every cat. We chose fabric with small prints that might resemble fish scales once the shapes were cut and stitched together. A length of natural twine sewn into the fish and attached to the ceiling keeps them secure.

If you have a cat who stares longingly out the window, you might need a catio (the wordplay on cat + patio). We researched, built, and tested the trend, and we agree: These structures are the cat's meow.
