Outdoor Omlet Catio Cat Run Extensions

Could not be happier with our Omlet Catio. Our boys absolutely love being able to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. One of our boys was straight out and investigating, navigating the tunnels to the main enclosure. Our other boy a little more cautious in his adventures took longer to make his way out but has now found his freedom as well. For the Catio size we ordered as well as the extra tunnel sections and porch etc came in a grand total of 24 boxes, which were all flat packed and some were heavier than others. You will need plenty of storage space for when they arrive. All of the boxes were labelled so you knew what was in which box. The main issue we had was needing the space to be able to get to all of the boxes at the same time for building the main Catio enclosure, as there were pieces you needed as you went along that came from just about every box. We would have to say that the delivery itself through DHL was challenging, whether this was DHL being their usual selves or the challenge of the sheer number of boxes we don’t know. The manuals that came were very useful and showed how everything could be set up, even for sized and items we didn’t have, which has been a little inspiring. Though took a little time to get your head around exactly what you were being asked to do which lead to a couple of false starts for construction. Particularly for the porch which wasn’t particularly clear. Be ready for some sore fingers if you’re planning on putting it up all at the same time as the clips which were excellent, were also hard going on the fingers. Perhaps it would have been beneficial to have received the instructions for everything separately so we didn’t have to hunt the boxes for them. The construction although daunting initially was in the end, simple and we managed to construct the 9ft by 12ft structure including porch in a day. The tunnels, towers and window box were very simple and connected together well. We chose to construct the tunnels separately to the main enclosure due to time. The tarpaulin which we also ordered was very simple to add and provides excellent rain and sun protection. The entire system together works really well and it’s excellent exercise for our boys. We are most definitely going to be looking into extending our enclosure and possible putting in some extra tunnels to new adventure areas. So happy that our boys now get to enjoy their outside space, and we get to enjoy it with them. Our boys were originally outdoor cats and had been for many years but after the number of horror stories we heard about what had happened to other people’s cats, including them being poisoned we decided to make the change to bring them indoors. Now with our Omlet Catio they get the safety of being “indoor cats” with all the benefits of getting to be outside. Would highly recommend Omlet catios to anyone.

From the moment I received my catio I was impressed. The way everything is packaged and clearly labelled. The videos and instructions were brilliant for a dyslexic like me. Everything was easy to use and connect. I will be coming back to extend as soon as I can.

Ordered the 3 x 2 catio for my two indoor cats. They love it but I think they will like it more once they can’t access it themselves. Going to extend and attach to my house so they can go in and out as they please. I have a tuxedo and a bengal, both indoor cats but I can tell they want to go outdoors so this is a good idea especially with bengals as they have a lot of energy and want to play a lot and to stop your indoor cats from getting bored. Hopefully the fabric platforms come back in stock soon as this will make the catio so much better for my cats to run and jump around. Once I have attached and extended the catio to my house I will share more pics. Only downside I wished the height could be extended as my window is really high however I will do some DIY for this so my cats can access it through the window.

My cats are indoor only, but love to spend time outside on a harness/leash or their small catio they can access through a cat door. I wanted to give them a better outdoor experience where they could enjoy a nap in the sun, and could keep an eye out on the local birds and squirrels. They love their enclosure, regularly ask to go in it (not connected to the house yet) and spend hours enjoying being outside. That makes for good naps afterwards. If you get the cat run, I strongly recommend the outdoor tree as well as they always like to climb.

My two Siberians love their catio. They love being “outside” and I love that they are safe!
