Sunbeam Squatters: Cats and the Making of Home
Though uninvited by human design, cats historically reshape domestic architecture, utilizing windows and catios for vital sensory engagement, territorial surveillance, and multispecies co-habitation.

Fine.
I have accepted that the Cat Distribution System has visted me. I’m currently looking at catios w/heating pads to put on my patio for this cat. She will remain unnamed until someone comes for her.

Once I stop making these, they'll be gone. Nothing else like my catios exist out there. It takes hours to build each one. This may be our last year, as the economy and tariffs have been hard on our shop, and we may make the tough decision to shut down after X-mas. (cont. below) #cats #catsofbluesky

That's adorable!! I love seeing improvement like that! I'm trying with my tuxie Marco, but I can't get in contact with his foster anymore to ask why he was special needs, but he's become more affectionate with installations of catios.
Cats are my whole world!

I'm going to have to watch the clawing, for sure. Their catios both have metal mesh that they cannot claw or bite through. I would never leave them unsupervised in anything made of fabric.

Cat people. Have fun. Search catios. Check out images. Possibilities are endless. Keep your beloved pet (and wildlife) safe. Our cat loved his.
The L aka the new Catio. I hope it comes with the oranj cat!

Hmmm, this would give me an excuse to build catwalks, catios, and tunnels throughout my home. And lasers! Lasers everywhere!

State funded catios.

It's a tough balance for sure. Have you heard of "catios"? My husband has built one before for his cat before we married. Allows them to go outside but keeps them contained. Might be an option, especially if you adopted a baby that couldn't go fully out!

Most folks think window catios are seasonal. Not at all! Our deluxe model, with plexi front and cat door built in, keeps the outside air outside, while the heating (or A/C) stays inside! Give your indoor cat the gift of the outdoors! (links in profile) #cats #caturday #pets #catmom #catdad #

It may be that we just hang it up after the first of the year, as sales are way down. We get it. We know it's the economy but that doesn't change our reality. If you have one of our catios and you want another, now's the time, and if you had been wanting to get one, this may be your last chance.

I think the only scene I haven’t shared some part of today is Emanata staring down from on high.
As seen from both catios!
(I have more Dotty/Benny brawl pics, but the butt biting photo might be enough on its own.)

Extra funding for catios and climbing posts but none for repairing the holes that mice and rats use for entry.

Yes, Cats Matter-but tbh, too many ppl buy-boo😠-or adopt cats, bring them home…then just let them out to roam loose while they’re at work/school. I get cats need outdoor time, but wish ppl would create catios or keep cats safe indoors. Birds matter too & loose pet cats are decimating🐦populations.😢
