Catio Outdoor Cat Enclosure, (Kitty Katio) for Indoor Cat or Multiple Cats - Portable Tent, Play Tent for Cats, Catio, Outside Enclosure

Everyone always asks where we bought this from because it's so impressive. It's the single best thing for a semi-outdoor cat. We live in a major city so we don't let our cat outside for many reasons but we would if we were in the suburbs or a more rural area in general. This is perfect because she can enjoy all the weather, have plenty of lounge space and come out camping with us. She plays and bounces around with ease with room for another cat or two. We string fun toys through the holes and she loves it. I like the option of the tunnel that you can attach to a screen door or something for your cat to go in and out when they please. Best feature though is the netting, it is so well made, truly. My cat is an absolute maniac and uses it as a jungle gym whenever we pull it inside. She claws her way all over this and not one single tear, no damage after all the abuse. Just perfection. Easy to setup, stow away and travel with. I recommend it for all house cats going bonkers inside!

Love it, don’t sleep on this! Your cats will love it sooooooo much!!! Doesn’t matter how aggressive your cat is, this mesh is tough and the zippers are quality!!!

Well made, my Houdini cat can't get out.

I've settled on a score of four stars for this item. I highly recommend it (five stars) for what it is, but I can't give it five stars due to the horrible quality. It's not a big deal to address the quality issues I've run into, but I shouldn't have to deal with them out of the box and after only one use. More below.We bought this tent for our older cat who requires daily medication so that we could bring him camping with us. We have a floorless screen tent that we set up in camp for bug protection and this tent went next to it, with tarps below it (6'x8', to keep it clean) and above it (for protection in case it rained). While camping with a cat requires a significant amount of behavioral modification (for all parties), this tent was great in allowing our cat to be free in the campsite (though he wore his harness at all times so we could clip him on a leash easily). As for the usefulness of the tent, I give it five stars.Where the tent really falls apart (no pun intended) is in the poor quality. Right out of the box the cords used to lock the tent open were frayed, and majorly so. Having worked with paracord and other nylon materials, I knew that I could simply lick them with a lighter flame to melt them. They reappeared after a single use, though, and I'm concerned that the cord is simply shot and in need of replacement before it fails. The other issue I've encountered is that after the first use (of only a single night), one of the rivets used at the top of the tent fell out and became lost.These defects are easy to address: I plan to replace to drawcords with much stronger and more durable paracord, and I used a machine screw and nut to replace the missing rivet. The cost and effort involved with these repairs are minimal. However, it's absurd to have to make these kinds of repairs out of the box and after a single night of use (and only of few hours of actual use by our cat, since he stayed in our tent at night).In case you need to or want to make these fixes/modifications, I believe you'll need about 4-5 feet of cord (I haven't replaced mine yet, so I don't know the exact length). The missing rivet was easily replaced with a 1" screw; I used a #8-32 pan head machine screw since I had it on hand. I plan to go back to my repair and use a lock nut or some thread locker to ensure that the replacement screw doesn't fall out as well.Bottom line: the tent is great, I'm happy I bought it, and I would definitely recommend it to others. However, I would do so with the caveats that the purchaser may want to make some proactive modifications to the tent out of the box and should be prepared for some repair work with use. These aren't big issues relative to the function of the tent (and this certainly isn't the first product I've had where it's advisable to immediately replace or modify parts for durability), though, as long as you're handy.

Our cats are obsessed with their outside time in the tent. We have purchased this a few times. I might have to get a 2nd one!

It works great for my cat, no complaints. I like the idea that it can be modular, having just the tent or just the tube.

My two cats love it - my girl especially.When I put both of them in it, after about 30 minutes, my older boy cat started beating up on my little girl cat.My girl gets scared pretty easily by humans and noises, so now I walk my boy while she stays in the tent, and swap them out when he's done with his doing his rounds in the backyard on his harness.My girl seems super happy in the tent and I feel happy that her insane bird and squirrel kill instinct will result in nothing. And she feels safe enough that my husband can walk around the tent without her cowering.I think I saw one commenter mention wishing there was a bottom opening so they could eat grass.I was worried about that.Luckily, some of my grass does poke through the mesh bottom, especially as they walk around and push the bottom part down. They are able to eat what pokes through.I do wish I bought two tents, with the tunnel, because of my bully cat, but I wanted to see if either liked the tent at all.It was a SUPER easy setup. I store it in the box because I use it daily in my backyard, plus saw others had a hard time putting it in the carry bag.I recommend using the stakes for achieving max space on the floor.Also, I could fit in the tent entryway if I wanted to, as a 150 lb adult.
