Cat Argues With Owners on Security Camera

Cats are independent creatures and do their own thing on their own time. And this cat, Toby, was caught talking back to his owners when he wasn’t ready for bedtime. The California homeowners got stern with Toby to get him to come inside from his patio, or as they call it, “catio.” Toby argued his case and refused to budge during the standoff. Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall has more.

I've always dreamed of making an outdoor area for my indoor cats like this. I was thinking of using windows, like a solarium, but I like the idea of the cage better. And the idea of using shelves for climbing, secured to 4x4s is brilliant. I always thought my cats would only get an outdoor room if I won the lottery, but this makes me think I could do it for a very reasonable amount of money.

[@BelovedbyAdonai]

You can. Others have done it and didn't spend a fortune.

[@veronicaalvarez3378]
