How Our Catio Tunnels Work
A custom outdoor catio tunnel from Cat Topia is more than a walkway, it’s your cat’s private passage to adventure. Each tunnel we build is a fully enclosed, predator-proof pathway that connects your home to a catio or links multiple outdoor spaces together. This gives your cats the freedom to explore, exercise, and relax outdoors — all while staying safe from the dangers of roaming.
What truly sets our tunnels apart is their spacious design. Built with a standard 2×2 dimension, our tunnels provide plenty of room for cats to move comfortably. Two cats can easily pass each other without feeling cramped, or one cat can stretch out and lounge while another walks by. This added space creates a stress-free environment for multi-cat households and ensures every journey through the tunnel feels natural and enriching.
Connection Options:
From a Window: A popular choice for second-story or ground-level homes, allowing cats to step straight out into their tunnel.
From a Patio or Deck: Ideal for homeowners who want direct access from living spaces to a catio below or in the yard.
Ground-Level Entry: A straightforward, low-profile option for easy access between house and catio.
