Cool 'Pop and Play' Catio on Amazon Takes Less Than 15 Minutes to Put Up

Most cat parents know we shouldn't let our cats outside to free roam. Cats that go outside kill birds, can fall prey to dogs or other predators, can get hit by a car or go missing. Indoor cats live much longer than outdoor cats. But when the weather warms up and it's sunny and beautiful outside a lot of us want our cats to enjoy the great outdoors too.

You've probably seen some amazing catios that are built out of wood and screen so cats can go outside safely, but not everyone  wants a catio in their yard or has the funds to splash out on having one built. That's where this nifty little pop up catio comes in!

How cool is this? The way it's assembled reminds me of those old Tinker Toys you may have played with when you were young. The video creator even said it took less than 15 minutes to assemble. This would be so ideal for people on vacation who wants a temporary place for their cats to chill outside or in an apartment where someone has a small balcony and can't get a big wooden catio.

People in the comments are loving this and one person said "My cat absolutely loves this!" another added, "I have it too! it's great. I used it to introduce a new kitty to my house. I will try to outside soon."

There are additional pieces you can add on too so if you have more than one cat you can make it larger. At first I thought my own cats would immediately shred the screen areas to bits but it does seem pretty sturdy and with over 1,000 four out of five star reviews it's obvious cat parents are big fans of this!

The best reason to get something like this? The average lifespan of an indoor cat ranges from 10 to 20 years, whereas cats who go outdoors typically live only 2 to 5 years. This way your cats can have fun in the sun but be safe too!
