As you know, one of my favourite things about this place was having the ability to create a catio for the kids. It’s still a work in progress, but the cats don’t mind, they are just happy to be able to go in an out as they please.
Especially this one who is always in search of a nice patch of grass to munch. This time of year, all there is are a few tufts of the hardier grasses. The rest of the catio is an unfortunate mudhole (which you can kinda of see above).
And all that in and out has one MAJOR downside
Proper landscaping will help mitigate this, which is one reason why it’s a top priority this year!

Which is less expensive; wee cat boots, or landscaping?
Inquiring minds want to know!

I’ve got the same problem with Pup. It’s a muddy mess here and she’s always dragging it into the house and on the furniture. I had to wipe off her paws just this morning and she hates when I do that.

Muddy paws are not a good thing. I guess the cats would not take too kindly to the cups (not sure what they are called) for dogs to put their paws in to clean them
