The Cat House Outdoor Pet Enclosure for Indoor Cats - 43" x 23" x 18" - Portable, View, Pop Up Lounger Tent for Deck, Patio, Porch, Yard, Balcony & RV Travel - with Storage Pouch

Our cat now gets to hang out with the family... even when we go outside. When we bring it out she runs up to us with excitement since she gets to look at birds, chipmunks, squirrels, AND get fresh air and some sun on her fur.We had a similar product like this that was made of mostly cloth, but our cat kept “going” in it for some reason, so I really love that the bottom layer is made of tarp so we can wipe it clean if there are ever any accidents.The see-through material looks like mesh, but it actually sort of a rubber material which feels way more durable than mesh, especially if your cat likes to scratch those kinds of things like mine does.I also really like that there is a zipper lock that you can use to keep the two zippers close to each other so your feline friend doesn’t accidentally escape.It would be nice if the tent was just slightly bigger. It seems that similar products are either WAY bigger or the same size. Also, we still haven’t been able to figure out how to get this thing folded back up properly (despite watching the video and viewing the instructions), but I’m hoping we can figure it out soon. Really just afraid of bending the supports.

My kitty has used her little playpen every day since I bought it. However, my kitty, Pearl, has found another way to enjoy it. She likes to jump on the top of it and then bounce off! When she gets tired she goes inside and goes to sleep. I put a little pillow inside of it for her to lay. She feels safe inside and just loves it.

I did receive this and the zipper was open on the wrong side of the zipper tab. I was able to correct it and haven't had an issue since. I did make me a little concerned that it wouldn't close properly all the time, but it has since. I did message the seller and received sincere and prompt responses. At this time I am not replacing the product because it is working on my fur baby enjoys being outside. This also allows me to sit and work outside instead of wandering the yard with her on a lease. I would rate it a 5 if the zipper hadn't come the way it did. BUT, I truly appreciate the responses from the seller. I would totally buy from this seller again for their customer service.

I unexpectedly adopted a four week old kitten that was abandoned and needed to take her to work with me for about a week. Since I wasn't sure if I could always be able to hold her when work came in, I wanted a tent just in case so that I could put her in there for a little while. This worked out perfectly! It was light weight, easy to carry, and came with a travel bag. There wasn't a heavy chemical spell and the sides stayed down nicely (there was a slight curve to the ends, but nothing that made it collapse in on itself). The kitten (and even my older cat) easily walked into it and didn't seem scared or bothered by it. It was a little confusing trying to figure out how to collapse it back into the bag, but they provide you with instructions and a link to a video to help.UPDATE: 11-5-18This tent turned out being a blessing. This same kitten was spayed a week ago and she did not have a good time with it. When we needed to calm her down, we pulled out the tent and it was great area to keep her contained safely. Once everything had settled down, she was then regularly going into the tent on her own. At night we could let her sleep in the tent next to us and during the day she will go in and out whenever she feels the need. It's almost like a safe haven for her. I honestly don't know what I would have done without this tent and I'm so glad that I bought it.

Here's what I HATE about this thing:1. It's incredibly clumsy to maneuver - I have to secure my cat in the enclosure while we're inside the house, then carry the whole enclosure, with him in it, to the deck outside. Because there's no hard bottom and/or handles, the whole thing folds in like an Ikea bag, which makes it awkward for both me and my cat, as well as puts unnecessary strain on the wire frame and stitching. So, that's one.2. The other thing is that I resent that I'm clearly going to have to buy one of these every month or so. My cat loves it so much, so we use this just about every day the weather's good. For what it's made of, it's held up well, but the first one we ordered now has several small holes in the netting, in the nylon (along the bottom frame), and a couple little punctures in the tarp-like bottom. I should add that my cat likes to play inside and around this enclosure when it's set up indoors as well, so it's really "well loved." The second one I order will be for outdoor use only, and the original will be the indoor play tent --- hopefully this arrangement will make the replacement last a bit longer.Anyway, those are my quibbles. My cat, as previously stated, absolutely loves this cat house (in fact, he jumped inside of it the second it was first opened). It's really sweet to watch him so fully enjoy being outside. He's about nine pounds and has plenty of room within it.

Good for the price
