I have two indoor ragdoll cats and I've taken them outside with harnesses & leashes. This is alot of work since cats don't really "go for walks". I really wanted to be able to be outside with my cats on nice days while I garden or read. This has been the perfect solution! They love the enclosure and really enjoy their time outside now! I don't leave it outside, I undo the "tunnel" portion and then both pieces are easy to carry in and out as needed. I thought it was expensive but it's really been worth it for the amount of satisfaction we all get from it! I highly recommend this product!

The product arrived on time and in good shape. I had very little trouble assembling it and had it up within half an hour. Requires no tools and just snaps together. No problem. But the overall structure seemed slightly smaller than I imagined. And it was indeed a bit flimsy. I have two cats and they both immediately checked it out. Unfortunately, its flexible construction is really only suitable for small to average cats. Any cat over 15 lbs would be very uncomfortable. My chartreaux, for instance, at 23 lbs. is just too big for this thing. He attempted to climb onto the lowest hammock but found it too flimsy for comfort. He remained on the ground level and was bored with the whole thing within a few minutes. My smaller cat (10 lbs) found it a bit more enjoyable and carefully, if awkwardly, ascended all the way to the top--it was even a bit rickety for her. But again, like the other cat, she became bored within a few minutes and wanted out. I'm not sure it's worth the cost, in short. I'm not entirely disappointed I tried. But I think anyone contemplating this purchase should consider the size of their cats first. You should also trim your cats' claws. They can very easily get caught in the nylon cord that makes up the netting.

I purchased this kittywalk about a year ago and at first was extremely happy and so were my kitties but unfortunately after 2-3 months out under the sun it started to fall apart. The nets became dry and broke from being outdoors. I purchased this specifically so that my indoor cats could spend time outside. I was under the impression that it was weather proof since it is for outdoor use. I paid $250 for it and it should have lasted me longer. It's too bad because I really love the idea. I would not recommend it unless it will be kept under some type of shelter at all times.
