Does anyone have experience with a catio near a loud busy road? I would like to net this off for my kittens but even I don’t hangout on the patio because it’s not exactly relaxing. Behind the hedge is a busy road, not a highway but cars go by pretty fast, and occasionally we get a really obnoxious loud car. I am worried if I go through the money and effort of putting something up they won’t use it. I have cracked the screen door so they could hear and smell outside. At first they were nervous but slowly got used to the sound and would hangout near the opening of a little bit. They are pretty brave in general. When I adopted them they didn’t hide away at all, they only run from like a vacuum or a blender.

Wondering if anyone has been successful with cats enjoying the outdoors despite it being loud? Would love to opened up this extra space for them.

This is Toph, one of my two new kittens. She is doing great and I am in love. Very excited to introduce her to her new sister, but a little worried about her being able to read cat language. She appears to have some vision but it’s unclear how much. From what I know she was found alone with an infection which caused the scarring in her eyes. She is a little less social than my other kitten and a little more mouthy. She has never had siblings so I want her to be able to learn from my other kitten but I am a little worried she won’t be able to see or read cat language. Has anyone had issues with blind cats not being able to understand what other cats are saying through body language?
