Cats love to be outside, but many animal lovers keep their pets safely away from bugs, predators, turf wars and automobiles by keeping them inside. How can you give your pet a little summertime fun and natural stimulation while saving them another visit to the vet?

With a "catio!" A catio is a patio for cats... see? Clever, right?

Just as some dudes are into man-caves and some ladies enjoy a she-shed, your cat can now have his or her own space to just chill out and enjoy the weather. The outdoor area allows for some scampering, scratching, green leaf lovin' and sunbeam snoozes, according to Good Housekeeping.

You can buy Chloe a catio from a company like Seattle-based Catio Spaces for $2,500 to $5,000. Love Buster, but those are champagne prices but you have a beer pocketbook? No problem! Everyone still wins with DIY plans selling for $50.

Some catios are basic window boxes, but others have stairs and stories to climb, connections (or catwalks, as we like to say here in the Pets Happy Zone), tunnels, plants, shelves and lounging spaces... Oh, the possibilities for your "puddy tat."

Check out some handsome (and elaborate) catios below!
