Customer Reviews
- I have purchased a number of KittyWalk products over the year and not only does my kitty love them, I do as well. I have had no issues with the items purchased and will continue purchasing additional components to grow my kitty activity area. I read that one reviewers kitty passed away while in the KittyWalk and while I am sympathetic she does say she left the kitty alone. I do not leave my kitty alone in the KittyWalk for safety reasons unrelated to the quality of this product. I am more concerned about a feral cat or neighborhood dog engaging my kitty while she is in the system. I would completely recommend this product to anyone considering a purchase.
- I have had this Kittywalk gazebo and the Kittywalk lawn enclosure for several years. Today I went to work and when I came home, one of my outdoor cats had gotten into the Kittywalk and somehow got her claws stuck in the netting. She was hanging there, dead, when I came home. I don't know what happened, but I do know that it was my fault for leaving the zip enclosure open so she could get in. Why she did, I do not know. She apparently got her claws wrapped in the netting and I don't know if she had a heart attack or what, but she was gone by the time I go home. I only used it for my declawed indoor-only kitty, and he was fine with it. Now I would never use it for *any* cat again, unless you are sitting and monitoring them. I should have closed the opening, but I never dreamed she would jump in and get stuck like that. Just too many ways a cat can get tangled in the webbing, and this time not even the cat that we confined to it. Maybe something chased her in there....I don't know, but it isn't safe enough unless you are standing right there, and even then, her toes were so wrapped in the netting, I would think that it would not be long before you might find your cat in serious distress if this happened to you. Not worth it.
I decided to update this after speaking with my vet. Apparently she has seen another case where a cat became entangled in the netting by getting its head wedged in the opening, and this poor cat strangled to death in a few short minutes, in front of the horrified owner who could not rescue the cat in time. She feels that it is not a reasonable assumption (as the manufacturer recommends) that users will clip their cats' claws prior to placing them in a Kittywalk enclosure, and doubts that even clipping the claws could prevent the kind of entanglement I witnessed and certainly could not prevent strangulation. I don't think any cat should be placed in one of these enclosures even if you are sitting there and watching them....and I would wager most people are not monitoring their cats that closely.
- Kittywalk Pet GazeboAfter living in a large ranch-style home, we downsized and our indoor kitties (2) had less room to run around for play and exercise. The condo has a nice back yard deck with sun and shade trees, so we purchased the Kittywalk Pet Gazebo and also a Kittywalk 6' enclosed mesh tunnel (not shown) which attached conveniently between the cat door in our back door screen and the gazebo. The gazebo is sturdy, easy to set up, and roomy. The shade flaps are movable to block the sun at any angle. There is plenty of space for you to add their favorite toys, furniture, or cat tree. Now, the kitties come out on the deck through their tunnel to the gazebo, we all enjoy our time outside, and the kitties have expanded play and exercise space.
