Kittywalk Pet Gazebo

Our cats have always been indoor cats — at least, as far as we know! We got both Turbo and Sage as kittens, but Kricket has a small bit of history from before we picked her up at the Humane Society that we know nothing about, and it’s possible she was an outdoor cat for a little while before we came along.

When we first brought her home she was constantly trying to get outside. At the time, we lived in an apartment on the second floor so this meant every time we opened the sliding door she’d try to bolt out onto the deck, which gave just about gave each of us a heart attack every time it happened.

Thankfully, she’s mellowed out and doesn’t seem to have any interest in going outside, the same as our other two. Turbo has wandered out into the backyard when we’ve left the door open (on purpose), and though he’ll poke around and sniff like crazy, if anything alarms him he darts back inside. We often joke that if he ever gets loose outside he wouldn’t last long — he’s way too friendly and trusting and probably wouldn’t know the first thing about getting his own food, instincts be damned.

Anyway, I was wandering around Amazon this morning and came across the Kittywalk Pet Gazebo, pictured above. Though there’s no way we’d spend that much on a mesh tent, I do see the benefit of one, especially for people who have cats that do like to be outside but don’t want said cats wandering off or endangering the local bird population.

Would your cats get use out of something like this?
