Living Large
When cat mom Kelly Dinham decided her 11 feline friends needed a little more room to roam, she didn’t just think big—she built massive! Kelly shared a TikTok video tour of her new, custom-built catio that has everyone on social media buzzing. The video showcases an impressive setup where Kelly's cats can explore a spacious outdoor environment, though she notes it's still a work in progress. The plan? To add plenty of shelves and climbing towers to make it a true kitty playground.
The catio is accessed via a tunnel ramp from the laundry window and opens up to a ladder leading down into a vast area decked with dirt floors that are ready for those paws to dig in. Viewers were quick to express their envy in the comments, praising the thoughtful and expansive design that allows these kitties to indulge in their wild instincts safely. The BC SPCA also chimed in on the conversation, highlighting the benefits of catios, such as stimulating physical activity and providing sensory experiences, all while keeping the cats safe from external dangers and protecting local wildlife from their predatory instincts. This isn't just a catio; it's a feline oasis.

What Is Your Cat’s Tail Saying?
Ever wondered what your cat is trying to tell you with those tail twitches, flicks, and wags? It turns out, a cat's tail is practically a mood ring. Whether your cat's tail is swishing softly, which means they're chilling out and just enjoying the scene, or flicking just the tip, signaling potential playtime or prey-stalking, there's a whole language back there. And if you see your cat’s tail flicking with some back skin rippling, it could be a sign to check in with your vet.
Is your cat's tail flagging like they’re trying to signal a ship at sea? They might just be doing some bathroom-related marking, or they could be showing signs of distress if they're avoiding the litter box. A tail straight up can mean your cat's alert and curious, but a rapid lash could mean "back off, buddy."
Understanding these signs can help you cater to your furry friend's needs better, making for a happier cat and a cleaner house. And when your cat wraps their tail around you? That’s the ultimate feline fist bump. So next time your cat’s tail goes into question mark mode, don’t just scratch your head – know they’re basically throwing you a kitty high-five.
