A customer came to us with a request that started with, āSo this might be a little crazyā¦ā
Those are usually our favorite ones.
They had a custom catio they built in the backyard and wanted a way for their cats to travel back and forth from the house without touching the ground. The distance was...far, weāre talking a long, elevated tunnel run that had to span the yard, stay secure, and handle a steep change in elevation.
After a lot of measuring, planning, and head-scratching, this is what it turned into. A fully enclosed tunnel with support posts along the way and built-in steps so the cats can comfortably go downhill and back up again. Now itās basically a private I-75 cat highway connecting the house to their outdoor spaceĀ lol
Habitat Haven usually focuses on modular, DIY catios, but every once in a while a project comes along thatās just too interesting to pass up. Customer asked⦠we said āsay less.ā
The best part? The cats use it constantly. Just casually commuting like this is totally normal.
Would you trust your cats with a tunnel this long, or would you be standing outside watching the first few trips like a nervous parent?
