Aivituvin Cat House Outdoor Catio Cat Enclosures on Wheels 70.9" Kitty House with Upgraded Resting Box,Waterproof Roof

The media could not be loaded. It’s not super sturdy, would not let kids play with it, but it’s perfect for a cat. I followed the advice of one of the assembly videos here and used two drills, one for drilling pilot holes and screwing in the screws. This prevented any cracking and it worked great. Also agree to keep the roof piece wrapped up and only open it and assemble it outside because it drops stuff.The odor dissipated within a couple days.The piece labels are kind of hard to see because they blend in with the paint color.My cat loves it.

What a lifesaver this catio has been! We have 2 indoor cats and they love the outdoors but we live on a traffic street and it's not save. I highly recommend this catio. We watched a couple of videos on how to put it together and it went together nicely. It's very nice and we showed it off to friends, which then they bought them. Really pleased that we could swing the price and get it. I think in the long run it has saved us money on vet bills etc from being hurt outside.

Let's start with the WOOD....it's incredibly lightweight and the instruction manual states it's "FIR". Other reviewers state it's "painted", well, that depends on what one calls "painted". Yes, all the pieces have been coated but the process is called "washed", not painted. For those who aren't familiar with "washed", it's a quick coating of water and paint to give the piece the paint color but not the paint coverage and protection. It's a quick technique appropriate for certain situations. I clear coat sealed each piece, with water seal, before assembling the unit. I don't plan to leave outside in wet weather, I'm positive it wouldn't last long getting wet and being subject to wet of any kind. I also have a tarp ready should a storm pop up unexpected. ASSEMBLY. Instructions recommend 2 people and admittedly, some steps would have been easier with another set of hands, however, it IS possible to assemble it by yourself. I'm a 65 y.o. retired female contractor, with obvious muscle loss due to age but handling the pieces was super easy. The pre-drilled holes match up nicely, the pieces are lettered/numbered clearly, minimal tools required and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. It's a great little "hut" for your felines. It's substantial for cats but I don't suggest putting your weight on the bottom floor of the unit. The included wheels roll nicely. I've moved it all around my concrete and up the 1" ledge into my garage without any issues. One of the shelves, the one at the bottom of the top door opening, does not show being screwed down, just lays loose on bracing....I did not like that thinking a jump from the platform above may cause the edge to go down, which would cause the other side to fly up, leave the bracing, causing the cat to flip and land in the bottom, so I screwed each side at an angle, into the outer framing. ROOF... the roof is a tad bit heavy but manageable and covered with a tar-like overlay. It looks to be water repellant because of the tar covering, however, the wood around is the same light weight, washed Fir, that won't withstand the wet elements for any length of time. I wanted my cat to be able to access the catio from a window but the cute little lift up doors didn't match up to any windows, so I had to improvise, modify the top front door, with an opening that would line up with my desired window. I cut scrap I had to assemble 2 identical, mitered frames. I removed the door so I could lay it flat and stapled the wire mesh to the outside mitered frame. I then screwed the other frame to the stapled frame. Next, I snipped out the wire mesh...VIOLA....an opening. I installed a hinged door to the frame so I could close up the hole if I wanted to roll the unit to another location, with my cat inside. I also added corner bracing for another platform and did not screw on the back of the included shelter box so my cat could see out both ends, right out the window hole exit. Overall, I'm pleased with this catio. I certainly could not have built it for what it cost. It does seem flimsy early on during the assembly however, sturdies up as more pieces are added. Not sure how long it would last being exposed to wet weather, so I'll be rolling it into the garage to hopefully extend the life of the unit. It's a really good deal, even with the shipping cost. My cat climbs the wired sides, doesn't understand why he's confined, being able to see and hear everything so clearly but can't get thru that wire barrier. He does enjoy watching the bird action going in and out of the bird house right beside his "hut". I do think he likes his new enclosure much better than watching from inside the house.

This catio has been a fantastic addition for my indoor cats! The multi-level design offers plenty of vertical space for climbing and lounging, which keeps them stimulated and happy. The build is sturdy and secure, giving me peace of mind while they enjoy the outdoors safely. I especially appreciate the mobility—thanks to the caster wheels, I can easily reposition it when needed. The mesh is tight enough to keep insects out and cats in, and the solid wood frame blends in nicely with my patio setup. Overall, it’s a well-constructed and enriching outdoor retreat for my cats and I might get another one!

Easy to put together, and well made. The color is a nice grey. Our cat adapted easily.

i bought 2 pieces and combined them together..it is a very sturdy cage.easy to assemble.you can get by with a phillips head screw driver,but if you have soft hands,you will want a drill with a phillips head attachment. my hands are calysed and still were a little sore.lol. it comes with pre drilled holes that helps out a lot. the only thing they could do to make it a little easier,,would be to label the pieces with a sticker or something,other than that i have no complaints..having wheels is a big plus for moving it around.. i bought this for my 7 foot boa constrictor knowing i would have to put plexiglass over most of the wired mesh to stop injury of my snake from pushing on it..but it is a steal for the size of the cage,, even after adding plexiglass..a cage for reptiles this large will cost up to 2 thousand if not more. as for cats it would be perfect for a enclosure when needed. all in all im very happy with the enclosure/cage. very sturdy,well priced.if your looking for a large reptile cage buy 2 and combine them together even if you need to make adjustments like plexiglass. it works very well. as for the little sliding doors,i just screwed 2 screws above the doors,no problems at all. you dont need them because of the large front doors gives easy access. when you combine them together,it will say to leave the 2 top sides out so your animal has access to both sides. if your using it for a reptile,the 2 bottom side pieces on the connecting side ,the instructions say to keep them part of the cage for sturdiness,and you should. but if you want your reptile etc. to have access from the bottom side side to,just remove the screen and just use the frame,i did and it works very well and sturdy. for all athers.im not a cat owner,but im positive this would be a good sturdy enclosure when needed. im very happy with the purchase.
