{"product_id":"wooden-catio-70-inch","title":"Arbour Wooden Catio with Waterproof Roof, 70\" with 5 Platforms","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe argument about indoor and outdoor cats is usually an argument about traffic. People who keep cats in are not trying to deny them the yard; they are trying to keep them off the road. A wooden catio is the third option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArbour is an enclosed outdoor space 62.6 inches wide and 70 inches tall that stands against a wall or a fence, with a waterproof roof so it is usable in weather, five platforms at different heights and two closed boxes to shelter in. The cat gets wind, birdsong, sun on a warm board and something to watch. You get to stop listening for brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is wood with a wire mesh skin, not a flimsy pop-up.

It sits on a flat, firm base, so measure the space before ordering, ideally where a cat door could open into it. Keep the open mesh side away from the prevailing weather. Arbour suits one or two cats who need supervised outdoor time. It is not for leaving a cat out overnight, and if you want to walk in to clean, look at Covert or Spinney instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about wooden catios\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"lu-faq\" style=\"border-top:1px solid #E4DED4;margin:8px 0 24px\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E4DED4\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:16px 0;font-weight:600\"\u003eCan I leave a cat in a wooden catio unsupervised?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 18px\"\u003eFor an hour or two in decent weather, yes, provided there is shade, water and a shelter box.
