Catios can often have multiple levels, catwalks, hammocks, and other frills built in, to keep your feline friend entertained (as if watching squirrels wasn\u2019t enough!). In short, a catio allows your cat a taste of the great outdoors, all the while sheltering them from the potential hazards that may await them, should they roam free.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So Smart<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While cats were domesticated long after dogs, they demonstrate a surprising skill set regarding sharing space with people. Each part of a cat\u2019s brain is compartmentalized but connected which gives cats the ability to understand, react to, and even manipulate their environments. Likewise, cats are great with:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memory recall (both short and long term)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making decisions<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solving problems<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Processing language<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, cats are notoriously stubborn and even uncooperative. This can be perceived as mysterious, but it is also further proof of high intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Do They Need?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is because of their cleverness that cats not only require, but depend on, a series of interesting and engaging things to do. In short, they must be physically and mentally fit in order to be truly healthy. For an indoor-only cat, this can be challenging to achieve \u2013 especially when a cat reaches middle age or the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parksidevet.ca\/blog\/whats-the-secret-to-long-lasting-senior-pet-health\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">senior years<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build a Catio<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parksidevet.ca\/blog\/cat-behavior-enrichment-activities-for-indoor-cats\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indoor cat enrichment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be a huge priority for cat owners.

The flowers! The breeze! The sunshine!), but they move around, climb, perch, and even hunt, giving those muscles a good workout.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some important components of catios (cat-patios) include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Points of entry and exit to\/from the main house (some catios are accessible via an exterior window or door on the home, others through a tunnel or walkway)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fully enclosed perimeter and roof (remember, you want to protect your cat from predators, but you also want to protect wildlife like birds from your cat)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perches, ramps, bridges, steps, hammocks, catwalks and more (optimal vertical space is key!)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scratching post<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hiding spot (cardboard boxes, anyone?)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuddle spot (the inclusion of a comfy chair is nice, or you can install a soft bed on a perch)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresh, clean water<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equally shady and sunny spots<\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parksidevet.ca\/blog\/pet-poisoning\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cat-friendly plants<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flooring (is the catio designed to be moved around?
