Catio rental?

4 replies

We've just moved house, not far from our old place and advice from our vet and online recommends we keep our two cats inside for 3-4 weeks. They are very outdoorsy and after 3 days are getting quite stressed and are clearly wanting to go out into the garden. I've had a look online to see if I could find a catio or enclosure to rent for a few weeks but haven't found anything. Granted it's probably a bit of a niche product, but was wondering if anyone had come across catio rental? They are very expensive to buy and we'd only need it for a few weeks. The other option would be trying a harness but I think this might just stress them out more...

They have small ones on Amazon for a couple of hundred pounds. I’ve never seen any for rent but, if such a thing did exist, I’m thinking you could easily spend £200 on rent.

I tried a harness on my BengalX when we moved. She slipped it and was on the garage roof withing minutes.
I'd say wait it out they aren't going to be less stressed being outside in a new environment either. Maybe they'd like a new toy to chase or a laser pen?

Hmm that’s a good point, could easily be that much.

Yes imagine ours would be equally unimpressed with being harnessed. Seems a bit demeaning somehow! 😁
We did get them catnip which they LOVED (a bit too much, massive drool patches on sofa now). Laser pen is a good idea.
