5.0 out of 5 stars I prefer over the alternative Feline Fun House November 18, 2010

I have owned and used both the Feline Fun House and the ABO Gear Happy Habitat for Indoor Cats. My cat preferred both, as all he wants is to be outside. I definitely prefer the ABO to the Feline Fun House. First, the ABO was $30 cheaper than the Feline Fun House. And truthfully, I think spending $70 on the Feline Fun House is too expensive for a "cat toy." $40 for the ABO was what I consider the max on a present for my cat. Other than price, I prefer the ABO for the following reasons.

First, the ABO is easier to put together, and literally opens into form, when you take it out of the travel case. The Feline Funhouse Opened easily, but was impossible to break down after opening it. The one and only time I tried to break down the Feline Fun House, I spent 30 minutes trying to follow the "easy" break down directions, and ended up bending the support wires, and the Feline Funhouse never opened up fully again (since I accidentally bent the supports, in trying to break it down, to transport it.) The ABO is truly "easy" to open and can be broken down in an second. When the ABO is broken down, it actually fits back into the little bag it came in. There is no way the Feline Fun House would ever fit into the bag it came in when you try to break it down. The ABO breaks down so easily and is to small, that i will take it in my luggage when we travel with my cat.

The ABO is also completely see though, as it is completely made out of mesh. The Feline Fun House has parts that are made of blue fabric that your cat can not see through. My cat can see in all directions without any obstruction in the ABO. The ABO is definitely larger then the Feline Fun House, in that it is taller. It may not be much larger in the base, where the cat sits, but the fact that it extends higher, makes it a larger enclosed space in general.

My indoor cat is SO happy in this tent (as well as in the Feline Fun House) that I DEFINITELY recommend indoor cat owners try one model. My cat wakes me up every day meow-ing then running to the back door, wanting to be let out in the tent. Just a little note: I put heavy chairs on the edges of the tent to hold it down. My cat has discovered that if you run into the sides of the tent, it moves (as does the Feline Fun House). I have found both tents, across the large yard/ and street, (with my cat still inside). So if you dont pin it down, your Kitty could end up across the street. I dont think the stakes that came with the ABO are big and deep enough to really "pin" this tent down. I would not trust them. My cat is very large and could easily take off, and pull out the stakes that came with the ABO tent. The Feline FunHouse stakes are the same, and not deep enough. I opt for the heavy metal chairs on both ends of the tent. Just beware of this:)

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a winner with my three...! August 2, 2010

By djuna30

I've been wanting to purchase something for my indoor cats to safely enjoy the outdoors for years. I was pleased to see this product come along since the dimensions are larger than competitors. You also can't beat the price. The item appears very well made and likely to last for some time. I found it easy to put up and take down, and I usually struggle with assembling anything. I put it up inside the house for a few days with their favorite scratch posts, blankets, and some catnip inside so they could get used to it first, then tried the experiment this evening. They loved it! I was surprised and thought at least one cat would be frightened, eager to return inside, or desperately trying to figure a way out. Instead, they were all stimulated yet content, and they even carried themselves differently for the rest of the evening, like they remembered who they really were or something! Check out the pictures of them and you'll see what I mean.

Please consider purchasing this or a similar item for your indoor cats to enrich their lives. I don't trust them outdoors unprotected but this gives them a chance to smell fresh air, feel the sunshine on their backs, and get back in touch with who they really are--wild, outdoor animals! Very highly recommended! My only regret is that now one is pestering me to go back out, and I do have to physically carry him out to zip him into the habitat vs. the similar items that can attach to the pet door. He also tried to run back outside whenever I was bringing the folded up Happy Habitat back inside, so I might have opened Pandora's box.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful quality April 22, 2012

I just got this from Amazon and I was so happy thinking that my cat was going to enjoy being outdoor safely. Well, I put her inside of the tent and 20 minutes later she is running in the yard like crazy, she has ripped the tent and escaped. I was furious. The material of the tent should have been stronger and resist cat's claws. I feel I just flush 45 buck through the toilet.
