Can I really build a catio in seven days?

The plan is paced as a 7-day build with daily checklists. Yard size and experience change the clock, but the sequence — materials, frame, enclosure, finish — is written so you are not inventing the order yourself.

Should I buy the workbook or the build plan?

Buy the build plan if you are ready to construct. Buy the 7-Day Catio Plan Interactive Workbook first if you still need layouts, a shopping list, and a safety checklist on paper.

Is this a one-time purchase?

Yes. The 7-Day Catio Build Plan is $39.99 one-time, with instant digital access after checkout.
