This patio is great for my three kittens, especially for temporary use during mornings when they can enjoy some sun. It took about 3-4 days to build with my husband due to the need for frequent breaks and the difficulty of drilling the holes. The catio is aesthetically pleasing but not the most durable, so it’s best used in a covered area. I wouldn’t recommend it for outdoor use in the elements, as the wood feels a bit weak. Overall, it’s a nice addition, and my cats seem to enjoy it!
