Verified Reviews for Cat Balcony Enclosure

We purchased the Balcony Catio and outdoor Freestyle Cat Tree so our cat could safely enjoy some outside time with us when we’re on our back deck. It immediately became her favorite spot in the house. Easy to build, safe, secure, and keeps her and the wild birds safe. Would be great if Omlet offered a little attachment kit - like four small panels of the wire so you can build your own little “pet door to Catio” connection tunnel. We are making our own out of spare parts from our Omlet chicken run. :)

I have a Catio on the balcony, with a rain cover. Every morning the cats ask to be let out and they sit in it for about 45 minutes, then they want to come in again, repeat in the afternoon...they seem to like it. They'd rather be free out in the world, but I don't want to deal with dead creatures they'd more than likely bring back, or worry that they've come to harm, so I am absolutely delighted with the Omlet Catio. I noticed that I hadn't written a review yet despite having had it for a while. I hope to move soon and add sections onto the existing structure to make it much bigger, when I have a garden

we combined 2 balcony runs ... one we attacked to house wall so we had left over panels . and used them to make a triangle tunnel fifi out kitty loves playing in them and watching birds safely .

Simple to put together and take down if needed. Cats absolutely love it! Just waiting on the beds which then hook onto the run itself! We anchored the run to the house so they can go in and out of the run when ever they like!

A DIY catio seemed like the simplest way to give my FIV+ cat some outdoor time. The catio plus pole took me literally all day to put up, and I think the roof would have been impossible to get on if I'd been shorter than 5'7 or had less arm and hand strength. I also went wrong twice; the instructions were correct, but maybe not entirely clear. However, my 6 kg chonk has been up and down the pole with it barely moving, and watching him listening and sniffing while sitting in a sunbeam makes everything worthwhile!

So many people think they can use a large dog kennel for cats..but they don’t realize that there is space all around the bottom and top and along the door that is just wide enough for a cat to get out. This has no such space anywhere. My cats are Houdini’s but no escape was possible. The doors open easily to put a cat in quickly or extract one. Two of mine jumped on the same side of the enclosure and it didn’t even wiggle! One comment is that the paper instructions are not good and they don’t quite follow the order of construction as shown in the video. It took longer to assemble than originally thought. Use the video and watch it several times and stop when needed for assembly.

Thank you for helping us create a relatively quick outdoor place for out cats to explore and sleep! We'd barely finished building this enclosure, put in a few rough walkways, and our 2 cats are already playing and enjoying spending the day outside. We plan to build platforms and walkways throughout the structure so they can look out over the world

Am absolutely over the moon with the omlet catio pen and equipment, it has now given freedom to both disabled cats who can now enjoy outside freedom. Unfortunately Sebastian was rescued after being involved in an Rta which resulted in an amputation. Also Brear force one who was rescued from a sad situation has a condition called PRA is now completely blind and didn't understand why he couldn't go outside. The pen and fantastic equipment omlet produce specifically for the pen allows even disabled cats to have there freedom and enrichment.

It’s a well thought out design to be fair and perfect for our deaf cat. It was a bit of a nightmare to assemble. Instructions like complete the mid level aren’t very helpful ????

Love my purchase, my husband has mounted it on a plinth with wheels so it can be moved to wherever is best to keep an eye on my cats.
