​
The Experience: Working with the Catio Company was nothing short of amazing. The instructions are easy to follow and the final product is beautiful, sturdy, and functional. Even more impressive was the service they provided after the fact. I reached out a few times throughout the process to ask questions and they provided timely and detailed replies, including videos and photos to reference. Their responsiveness and dedication to support after you've bought the plans were outstanding. I'd recommend these plans to anyone considering a catio.
Cat's Reaction: My cats absolutely love it! Once they figured out how to work the cat door through the window, it quickly became their favorite spot. They like to watch the yard for bunnies and bugs, often locked in on some interesting facet of nature. I've also gotten plenty of compliments from friends and neighbors for the quality and fun details (e.g. birdsmouth cut for the rafters).
Construction Feedback: The instructions were clear and easy to follow, though I recommend (as they do at the beginning) that you read it cover-to-cover as you may want to customize areas (eg. platforms) that will impact the cut lists they conveniently provide at the beginning of the instructions. In addition to the steps you need to execute, they provide useful tips for each section on a variety of techniques to help ensure the structure is clean, tight, and built to last.​​
