11 Cats With Better Apartments Than Yours

Some cats live outdoors. Some cats live indoors. But the pimping-est cats have outdoor enclosures called --wait for it-- CATIOS. You can order them online or build them from scratch (get it?) if you're so inclined, and Home Depot can help. Either way, cats love catios - even Richard, and he hates everything.
