Outdoor enclosures are all the new rage for safe outside feline play. The age old dilemma of letting your indoor cat be an outdoor cat has expanded as new solutions for cat lovers yearning for their loved ones to enjoy fresh air, greenery, and sunshine, is not weighed down by the worry of keeping them safe from traffic, dogs, predators, and people. An outdoor enclosure for felines, coined "catio", are also called cat cages, cat runs and cat walks.
