Alan Breslauer, left, launched the Southern California-based company Custom Catios in 2017. He specializes in indoor-outdoor enclosures for cats, like the one pictured right.
  • Alan Breslauer launched Custom Catios in 2017 after building his first cat enclosure in the early 2000s.
  • Most catios cost Breslauer's clients between $5,000 and $15,000, but a few cost over $70,000.
  • Breslauer said he's even seen his catios lead to for-sale homes getting higher offers from cat people.

Ever heard of a catio? Don't be purr-plexed. It's a patio for your feline friend, and it might just become the next cool amenity for your home.
