How can I get started building an outdoor "catio" for my kitties?
Presently, the only exposure my cats get to the outdoors is a screened-in patio. They've already torn one screen and have managed to get out, but that's been repaired and they're all safely indoors. I'd like to build a "catio" using sturdy fencing wire and outdoor fencing materials so that they can safely spend time outdoors. I'd like some suggestions as to what would be the best materials to use for this project. Also, if anyone has building plans for one of these structures, I'd be happy to purchase them. In addition, I'd like this "catio" to be big enough for me to walk around in, and it would be connected to my existing patio.
