Or you can zip it down and fold it up to make space for visitors. What we love: Families with small children will adore this jungle animal design, which would blend right into any playroom. We love that the Kitty City Jungle Cat Cube Combo comes complete with fleece-lined cubes on either end, which can be repurposed as cat toy storage space or kitty beds.

This response can happen even with the slightest sound of nearby prey. Your cat’s hunting mode is firing on all four cylinders, or rather, paws!

Rendering of the basic size and shape of our ground tunnels.I ran the entire 50 foot wire parallel down the side of my neighbors fence. I am going to use the tent steaks to keep the wire in the ground. I think I am going to use my tree or a another piece of wire to secure and close the end. I will need to do the same for the entrance since I am making a make shift cat run. Do you think this will work until I am able to make your cat tunnel design? Of course I will be outside with them keeping my eye on them. Walkway between cat enclosures: this style of outdoor tunnel is used for joining up an outdoor cat enclosure with the inside of your house (or potentially another outdoor enclosure), providing a safe passage between the two protected spaces.

Who let the cats out!? However, if you want your kitty to go outside more often and for longer stretches of time, you might want to look into building a cat run.

Some tunnels come as a single shape while others are convertible into several. Straight tunnels are the most common.

Most cat tunnels are designed to be used indoors, although you can certainly use a cat tunnel in your garden if you want.
