ketive Cat Catio, Expandable Window Box Enclosure for Multiple Indoor Cats, Comfortable Wooden Small Pet Perch House, All-Weather Use, Keep Bugs Insects Out, with 4 Platforms and 3 Doors

This is a great catio! My cat, Mischief, is huge, weighs 20 lbs, and has been known to launch himself at window screens if there's a bug or lizard to chase. That made me concerned about this purchase. I need not have worried - the screen they use is a sturdy metal that I'm not sure he could get his claws into to climb, but if he does, I doubt it will even show a mark. The structure is also very sturdy. He's enjoying jumping from platform to platform and there's no wobble anywhere. The screen mesh is small enough to keep bugs out, so I'm enjoying having the window open and getting a breeze inside now. I couldn't do that before because Mischief would have easily knocked out a normal window screen. I had a handyman come to install the catio because I'm not at all skilled, and he was pleased at how easily it all went together. Everything was cut and drilled as expected. I couldn't be happier with this purchase! (And Mischief is very happy, too!) One thing I'll be adding is a little weather stripping around the catio doors. I live in Florida and the small gaps around the door edges would let our prevalent small lizards and bugs in. However, that's an easy thing for me to add. In the photos, you'll see my temporary paper weatherstripping where the gaps are. As you can see, the gaps are not very big and will be easy to block if you also live in a bug-prone area.

Although the box was badly damaged, the cateo was not. I did report this to Amazon and was able to send pictures and communicate with the persons involved. The cateo took about 3 hours for me and my son to assemble. Then another hour to put it on my house. This is because my window was very tall and had a huge metal frame around it. It barely fit but we were able to attach it. The cateo is very sturdy and well made. The parts are numbered and the hardware is separated. I have 5 cats and they all seem to like it since they are now indoor cats. I live in the Midwest so when it's cool out I wait until the afternoon sun comes out to open the window. My cats are happy with the product and so am I.

We’re trying to train our 3-year-old indoor–outdoor cat to stay inside, and this is our third week. Honestly, it’s been tough on him because he loves walking on the grass and exploring, but like most Southern California neighborhoods, we have coyotes around, even during the day. To help with the transition, we bought this catio and installed it about a week ago. It’s very well-made, looks great, and he already loves spending time in it at night during these unusually warm fall evenings. I’m planning to connect a tunnel to the small top door so he can walk along the side of the house to the front. It’s a smart design for that purpose. My only wish is that the round gray viewing holes on the mesh were a little larger so cats could see out better during the day. Other than that, I definitely recommend it. Shipping was fast.

I spoil my cats, unfortunately, and was looking for something to enhance their area and give them more room to lounge. I fell in love with this catio when I came across it. It's meant for a window and that was my original intention but after just assembling the meat without the potatoes I was exhausted. I built it myself, alone, and it took 3-4 hours. The main part of the pain was it doesn't come with an instruction booklet. They only provide a video within the ad and it's just a little over a minute long. The lady in the video talks fast and some of what she instructed didn't make sense to me as far as which screws I was to use for certain parts. She seems to be laughing towards the end, too. Not sure if I was offended. Lol But after putting the main unit together I decided it would be better sitting on the porch than struggling to attach it to the house. It's large enough to add small cat trees to and other fun items. I chose to sit it on top of a smaller shelf rather than adding the triangles at the bottom. I like it on the porch because the screen seems to block the sun and also we've had a lot of rain lately and the inside gets a little wet but not drenched or anything. The cats have been using it so I'm happy. They need to appreciate all my labor. It's priced at a little over $200. I'd say it's worth it if you're going to utilize it how it was meant and using and constructing all parts. I do wish they sold the main piece at a cheaper price because I'd love another for the other side of the porch. It's a very attractive piece.

This is very stable, was relatively easy to put together, the instructions were pretty straightforward and my cats really enjoy it. You do have to be mindful of the small details as you’re putting it together, but that was expected. We haven’t needed to clean it but if we needed to, it’s pretty easy to just hose down.

I was very pleased with this item. It is very well built, easy to assemble, it took 2 hours to assemble, the wood is stained grey, the screens are metal and will keep out all bugs. I live in Florida and will need to bring it in during hurricanes so I used a table as a stand and only attached it to the house with 2 of the 4 metal brackets that were included. This is a wonderful product at a great price.

Was easy to assemble, looks great on my house! We will see how it holds up weather wise but product is sturdy and I can’t wait to make it comfy for my girl.

The central panel for the catio had the top put on backwards which makes it impossible to attach the roof because the slant is opposite of the way it should go. We now have to pull all the staples, which is difficult and cuts up your hands on the screen, then unscrew that piece and flip it to the correct position, and then restaple the screen. This really slowed down the whole process and added days to completion. Very frustrating! Also, Amazon has really crappy customer service. I’m tried to contact the seller about the problem and it auto fills the message “Nevermind, I’m good” and won’t allow me to reply. I wish I had ordered from Chewy!
