I found extra large covered litter boxes at the store, which I have not seen before in this size, so bought one to put in the catio. It has a plastic top, and the door can be tilted back, which seems like it will keep most of the rain out. The thought of a litter box full of rain is the main reason a box hasn’t been out there before. Apparently my poor Izzy cat has been deprived for years. The inside box was immediately eschewed in favor of the new outside facilities.

The next step is to get some more rope and make the scratching post in a different location.
