Outdoor cat enclosure DIY

Hi guys,

I have a 7 yr old indoor cat! He's been indoors because we used to live in a flat on a very busy road! My older cat was run over on a quieter road, so this road freaked me out!

Now we have moved into a house which is on a very quiet road, but I'm just too anxious because of his age and never being outside. Plus he loves humans so may end up setting up camp in other peoples houses 😂

I really would like him to have the fresh air and freedom to be outdoors, so I'm thinking to build a catio/outdoor cat enclosure. I'd love for him to have high places to sit, things to climb, scratch and cat grass to nibble on etc!

Has anyone else built one before ? Have any advice etc? Many thanks 🐱

@Mabelene Nop because my patio is tiny and the table and chairs are there 😩 I wish we did have that option! We tried measuring around them etc but couldn't work out a plan. My plan is to put him in there 10 mins a day and if he gets stressed I'll bring him back in. I hope at one point he ends up loving it once I have more things to climb etc and sit on and he'll stay in there for longer. X
