Catio used by: Teddy, Beni and Otto
Built by: homeowner
One of the smaller catios on the tour, the catio was built by a father-daughter team. It was originally designed for two older cats to use; now it meets the needs of three much younger cats. The entrance is through a window.

“We moved to NS nine years ago from Ontario and had a catio there. Our two cats at the time – Smokey and Chai – loved the outdoors but were indoor cats. We had a mulch ground cover in our old catio but soon realized the cats were dragging bits in with them through the cat door. When we moved here, we decided to keep it a bit cleaner with a wood floor. Smokey and Chai have since passed on but there are three new cats – Teddy, Beni and Otto – who enjoy it just as much.”
