catio / gátio*
This month I will share with you something my sister and I are making - a catio (a cat patio).
I live in an apartment which has verandas, small ones, but I am grateful that I have them. In an ideal world I would be able to give a wonderfull garden to F. explore and chase bugs, and take sunbaths... but reality is what it is and I try to do my best with it. So I designed a catio for one of the verandas, in there she will be able to look to the street without the danger of falling, and hopefully enjoy some fresh air and sun.

Este mês vou partilhar algo que a minha irmã e eu estamos a construir - um gátio (pátio para gatos).
Moro num apartamento que felizmente tem varandas, são pequenas, mas estou muito agradecida por tê-las. Num mundo ideal seria capaz de dar à F. um jardim maravilhoso para ela explorar e perseguir insectos e tomar banhos de sol... mas a realidade é o que é e tento fazer o melhor com o que tenho. Assim decidi desenhar um gátio para uma das varandas, nele ela poderá olhar para a rua sem o risco de cair e espero que aí possa aproveitar algum ar fresco e sol.
