This video details how to build a cat run and enclosure including a pet door and what materials we used, and why it’s a good thing to do for your pet cat. In the end, we decided on a galvanised steel powder coated product and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Plus our Russian Blue cat is the happiest he has ever been 🙂

Love it!
what do you do if they pee or poo on the run? I don't see how you can get to it to clean?
That's cool. It has inspired me to work on play areas for my 2 cats. I'm lucky that I live in a small town in a cat neighborhood. within a few houses either way, there are 10+ cats that run inside and out. It's fun to watch their different personalities.
Hi, I, Like your Cat run you make it so cool i, never see befor cat have fun i, can see nice place for outside for savfty sicure
Am I imagining it or is there a curious cockatoo in the background in the bottom right quadrant of the shot at 26:25? Looks like a white cockatoo is quietly checking out the run.
Your best video ever love it
I can't wait to be able to build a Catio for my little fur pals. Going back through your videos is bringing up tons of gems. Keep it up Mark!
Really Cool !!!!!!!
Wonderful! I am trying to enclose an area that I want to use as a patio for us an a safe area for my elderly cats and a younger half feral who adopted me when I was working in my garden at the beginning of lockdown. We have wild animals, snakes and a very aggressive tom who adopted my neighbour. My possum and babies have been poisoned this week so I have to start on the enclosure really soon. Your video is helpful and it is so nice to know that you care for your domestic animals too. Love your videos and I have learned so much about container beds. Thank you so much!

Amazing work! Cant wait to do my own. Where did you get the materials
Oh my gosh I'm so glad I found your video. Like you I have a rescue Russian Blue and he loves watching wildlife from his cat tree in the sunroom but a walkway like yours will put him outside in the middle of all the outdoor adventures safely. Thank you for the video!!!!
Cats need sun and they love sun. They love laying in the sun sitting in the sun and all of that. I like this design but I thought more of it should have been in the Sun. Also, the only sun spot he can lay in, you put a litter box there. It's going to start stinking as it gets hot. And in order for the cat to lay in the only son you gave him, he has to smell the smells of a hot litter box. I like the fact that he can run around up there and that he can climb up the sides! Very cool.
awesome awesome AWESOME
Wow
well done mate protecting our birds
I’m so glad I found you. I do find your videos incredibly useful and excellent instruction.
Thanks Dad/doorman to my new apartment! Love it!
Well done, now all you need is a pet water fountain inside his catio!
Love it! Wish our current home had a good setup to do this!
Why do you protect your cat so much? What predators are around? TY
Thanks for good idea.
Hi Mark!
Beautifully done, I especially liked your tips on putting it together solo! Living in subtropical Qld, have you had any issues with snakes getting near or into your cat run?

SUPER! I’m a subscriber and have loved watching your videos since I first found your channel. I’m researching dog barriers — ones with gates that 1) won’t trip us (I’m on a cane now), and 2) one which is inexpensive and easy to assemble or build. I saw a how-to video for cat runs and thought, why not? Now, wasn’t I surprised when I saw your smiling face. How did I miss this video; it’s 3 years old! I’d wanted to put up cat runs in the house, and this video has reignited my desire. That, and the facts that 1) 5# Charlie is a thug and beats up our 135# Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, and 2) 5# Taco is a weenie and hides from all our dogs. He basically lives upstairs and since I can’t do stairs well these days, I rarely see him. At any rate, fabulous video, as usual. Throw us more of your non-gardening stuff because you always have really smart work-arounds. Thanks from Aberdeen, on Grays Harbor in Washington, U.S.A.
I cant wait to move into our furever home(about a month from now) the hubs and I are so ready to give our (used to be feral) fur babies the outside stimulas they were raised on!!
