About Catio Homes

Catio Homes is a small independent research site about catios: enclosed outdoor spaces for cats. It is not a store, a catio builder or a review lab.

How pages are made

Each page starts from public sources: catio makers' and stores' own pages, plan sellers, shelters and humane societies, and the ASPCA plant list. Facts are collected with the address of the page they came from and the date they were read. Prices, sizes and plan prices are copied from the seller's page and shown with that date.

Drafts are written with the help of an AI language model that is only given those collected facts. A script then checks every number on a page against the facts, checks wording and spelling, and blocks pages that fail. The drawings are made for this site and show example proportions; the illustrations are drawn renders, not photos of real products or customers.

Nobody here has tested the products listed. There are no ratings, reviews or customer stories on this site.

How the site makes money

Some links to sellers go through addresses that start with /go/ on this site. Where the site has an affiliate agreement with a seller, a purchase after such a click may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate status never changes which products are listed or what a page says about them.

Corrections and contact

Prices and rules change. If something on a page is out of date or wrong, write to nextatix@gmail.com and include the page address.

If the link does not open your mail app, copy the address: nextatix@gmail.com.
