Cats may feel overwhelmed in outdoor settings after living indoors. Their transition requires patience and comfort-enhancing strategies. Initially, short visits to the catio are advised, with the owner accompanying them for play and bonding. Increasing time in the catio should be gradual, and enhancing security with coverings can help. Adjustments like these foster security and help cats acclimate, allowing them to appreciate the outdoors progressively.
The great outdoors can be a big and frightening place, especially for cats who have only seen it from the safety of the great indoors.
Cats are very much creatures of habit and many are very comfortable inside the protective (and solid) walls of their home.
You might need to start over with short visits to the catio and by joining your cats inside the enclosure, playing with them and having some cuddle time.
As they start to feel more comfortable, start peeling back the sheets to expose more of the outdoor view.
