There are endorsements, and then there are endorsements. When Jonathan Scott — the man who has transformed thousands of homes across North America and knows a thing or two about quality craftsmanship — personally reached out about featuring my work on his social media platforms, it was an incredible moment for a guy who just started building cat enclosures nine years ago.
The next thing I knew, his production crew came to our Camarillo, CA catio compound for an exclusive walkthrough. Jonathan, who recently became a full-fledged cat dad to Poppy, Dove, and Pickle — and trusted Catio Guy to help bring his own catio vision to life — was no stranger to what we do. But a compound is a different beast altogether, and he wanted his audience to see what a truly dedicated catio build looks like at scale.
In the video, Jonathan kicks things off with an introduction before handing it over to me to take you through the full tour. What you’ll see in Camarillo is the kind of multi-component, thoughtfully designed cat paradise that we pour everything into — the kind of build that turns a backyard into a feline world of its own. From the layout to the custom details, this one showcases what’s possible when you stop thinking about a catio as an add-on and start thinking about it as an architectural statement.
