Catio Outdoor Cat Enclosure Large Cat House for Mulitiple Cats Walk in Cat Cage with Tarp Roof 70"

Easy to assemble, lightweight for 2 people to transport, open bottom so our cats can enjoy the earth, lots of perching places. Our cats absolutely love it, highly recommend!

This is a very nice product. Good value for the money. My cats love it. As stated in other reviews, the instructions SUCK! Half of the pieces were not stamped with ID letters. The other half, the numbers were not legible. It took a lot of time just trying to find the right pieces for each section by looking at the pictures in the manual. It seems flimsy at first but once assembled it is quite sturdy. I actually had to hire a handyman to assemble it for me. It was too hard for me (I'm senior female). Per a suggestion in another review, I applied a waterproof varnish to the entire Catio, inside and out; even though my Catio is on my deck under a roof. The rest of my review is mainly suggestions. I put diatomaceous earth beneath the waterproof indoor/outdoor carpeting on the floor to help with pests (ants are a big problem where I live). I also sprayed all the inside shelves and floor carpeting with non-toxic pest killer for ants and fleas. All of the pieces of the indoor/outdoor carpeting (plastic artificial turf) I cut to size myself and glued them to the "resting shelves" but I didn't glue it down on the deck flooring. Everything can be hosed down for easy cleaning. I have 5 indoor-only cats. They like basking in the evening sunlight on the upper shelves. The Catio is not as big as it looks online, but it is as described. I can walk in it and turn around and that is about all because of the shelves. All in all, I am very happy with the Catio. I am adding some plants around the outside of it so the cats won't feel so exposed. I will be putting a bird feeder and squirrel feeder just across from it so they can watch and enjoy "natural entertainment." I would definitely recommend this Catio, but be prepared for unclear instructions. All that was needed for assembly was a battery operated phillips screwdriver. He also installed a pet door through the double wall of my mobile home. I decided where to put the pet door and then once installed in the correct position, he simply cut the Catio wire to the same shape and size as the pet door. One special addition - I cut and painted measured pieces of plywood 12" tall to put around the 3 open sides of the Catio. There are feral and neighbor's cats around and they have a tendency to spray (tom cats). So this barrier is to stop them from spraying into the Catio so as not to upset my spayed and neutered cats. It works perfectly, one sprayed last night! Today I also put some hot pepper seeds and cayenne pepper down around the outside of the plywood as a deterrent . This won't harm the wild cats, just deter them. It also works well in my garden as the wild cats want to use it as a litter box! Below are pictures of the Catio on my deck and 3 of my cats checking it out immediately after assembly!

I really wanted to give this more stars, I was so excited for it to come but so many of the panels have damage on them. I even had to glue one together to make sure it was sturdy enough. It comes in many, many parts however that being said was not hard to put together. I did it by myself, it took 4 hours. That includes unpacking and sorting. I also have a ton of experience building online furniture so if you’re a first timer it may take longer. I didn’t have the option of help, but for those wondering you can build this by yourself. It’s just a giant pain in the butt. Having said that my cats already like. I just wish it was a little wider. However it fits the spot in the back of the house that we wanted to put it perfectly. I had to rig up side panels and an extended roof cause my house has windows that just out so it couldn’t fit snuggly. Not to manufacture window fitting/roof extender could be something to think about as an add on. I’m excited to spruce it up a bit with some vines and blankets for the babies. Seems to be sturdy enough to last awhile.

I got the large size and it’s got plenty of room for all 3 of my cats. Quality could be better, it is kinda flimsy, but hey it works. It took an afternoon to build, and we added a few extra reinforcements to maintain the structural integrity. Overall it’s great if you’re a multi cat owner on a budget, would purchase again and recommend to other cat parents.

Shipment of this catio was a certified nightmare, but that aside the catio itself is a dream oasis for our cats. Box arrived banged up and a bit worse for the where with some damaged pieces we didn’t notice until we had everything out of the box, so do better than we did and examine them before starting. Box is unsurprisingly large and a two team lift. The directions left a lot to be desired but was put together in about 90 minutes and it’s held up wonderfully to our very rotund cats coming in and out very energetically. Ours is under an awning, so I cannot vouche for how well it holds up to all of the elements, but it has definitely stood up to some big wind gusts. Our cats happily go out to yap at our bird feeder, and we can rest easy knowing both the birds and cats are safe and healthy. We love all of the options for access pints and the different levels they can lounge at.
