Modern prefabricated homes should come with a catio option

This is a very quick note about something which interests me and has done for a long time. In the UK there is a pressing need to build new homes because of a growing population, partly due to mass immigration over many years. 

A modern prefab home - Koto Design. Super-looking house. Picture: the manufacturer.

The UK government is finding ways to achieve quick housebuilding and they have committed to expanding the flat-pack, prefabricated factory manufactured method of building new homes. I like these prefabricated homes. They should be of better quality and more consistent quality because they are built within a factory using machinery and precision engineering.

It all points to a higher quality home but this is a great opportunity to build into the design of these homes the catio option. Looking forward many years there will come a time when there is more pressure on cat owners to keep their cats inside. With that in mind there is a need to provide homes where it is easier to stimulate domestic cats and the catio is a means to that end. 

They can get a sense of the outside, have climbing spaces, smell the air and generally meet some of their innate, natural desires. Let's seriously think about the catio option in prefabricated homes, please.
