“I hadn’t realized how much fun it would be to have a catio until I got one. There are tons of benefits including the aesthetics (great garden art that makes everyone smile) to the fact that I can watch my cats running around outside and to know they are safe and can’t get eaten by a coyote or hit by a car. Everyone can live live in harmony…the dogs can’t get to the cats, and the cats can’t get to the birds. It’s so fun to see them in the catio and I get to enjoy the bright colors and garden art in my yard. Thank you Cynthia, and your carpenters Jack and Rob, for making our catio dreams come true! ”
