Product Information

Side note: Yes, I named each of our catio sections. It sure beats saying “oh Ollie is in the catio next to the main catio near the tree!” But Kevin just refuses to go by my silly nomenclature.

A catiobridge is an attractive and practical solution for merging the human space with the catio spaces. Over the months Dushka was a loving companion and never far from Diane’s side and very content in herself. I let the idea simmer for a while, but then at teatime, I take out my sketch pad and start drawing what I want, no, whatthe cats want. This is my chance to warm him up to the idea. It works, but I can already see that I have ignited some of his own ideas and I should be prepared to butt heads over this.And so the work on the catio bridge begins, but not without a few kinks to iron out.The bridge’s height is important, as you want it to be high enough that your cat can comfortably walk across but not too high that they could feel scared or intimidated. A good height to aim for is around 2-3 feet. Conclusion I immediately answer “On top of BirdView Lodge, of course!” and I circle it on my drawing. “See? that’s Birdview Lodge right here.” Yas and Kevin Wood pallet boards, Premade cat tree, Wood glue, Sisal rope, Drapery rod, D-ring carabiners, Copper pipe strap With this DIY plan, you can create quite the cat exploring space right above your head. Using recycled pallets is cheaper than buying traditional lumber in the store. Many places give away pallets for free, or you can buy them cheaply. As a bonus for the cats, an extra cat skywalk will provide a pathway to more cat kingdoms toconquer and rule! That’s the ultimate cat enrichment goal!

Option 2: This option takes a little bit more work, but does not require the eye hooks to be opened up and can be an easier option for installing a tightly pulled bridge (minimal droop). Before looping the cable through the planks, install the eye hooks onto a separate piece of wood. The piece should have enough depth so that the eye hooks can be fully threaded in, a 2×4 will work fine. When looping the cable through the planks, loop it through the eye hooks as well. Use sufficiently long wood screws to attach the bridge in place. While our reasons for building the cat bridgewereforemost to connect two existing structures, I soon realized that the cat bridge can be a standalone structure, as a complete catio on its own. A catio bridge, or bridge catio, if you will. Why would you consider building a bridge catio?There will be a spacer rope in between each plank, so the total length each plank takes up is the width of the plank plus the diameter of the rope (see Step 5). You can get pretty creative with these designs and make them your own. You can choose the color or keep it natural, depending on the overall aesthetic you’re aiming for. You can select different materials or add to the original plan—you have all the creative freedom you need.

A cat bridge is a structure that allows cats to cross safely over a busy street or other hazards. Cat bridges are becoming increasingly popular in urban areas to protect our feline friends. They typically consist of platforms or walkways, often with railings or walls to keep cats from falling off. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Versatile element for creating wall courses: ideal for combining with other components or several bridges for a creative obstacle courseWhen an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. So why not give your cat the gift of a safe outdoor adventure by building a bridge of their own? Things You’ll Need Width is important when building a bridge for your cat. You want to ensure enough room for them to walk across without feeling too cramped. A good rule of thumb is to make the bridge at least two feet wide. How High Should the Bridge Be? Beautiful, gentle 22 &½ year-old Dushka came into care of Cats Protection Glasgow Branch in 2020 after her elderly owner could no longer look after her. Place the bridge in an area where your cat likes to spend time, such as near a window or scratching post. Encourage them to use it by placing some toys or treats on the other side.
