Outdoor Cat Jungle Gym

A lot of people ask me about my cat enclosure (click HERE) and tell me that they want to build a kitty jungle gym themselves. But I never really get to see if they do actually go to the length of building one. So far I only had two people send me pictures of their own outdoor cat jungle gym (click HERE to see the other post). I love it.

So when Mark contacted me with some questions, I asked him if he would send me photos when he is done. And of boy, did he send me photos. Lots of photos and I’m super excited to show them to you. His cats are a lucky little furry crowd and are really enjoying their new homemade cat jungle gym with long tunnels and cage coming right out of the house. The long tunnels along the fence are leading to two kitty jungle gym structures with one of them perched high up in the trees.

Just see for yourself:

I absolutely love how high up the cats can sit in their cat jungle gym structure that even has a roof on it!

Cats love sitting up high and being able to look down on things. I’d love to extend mine and have something for them to sit up high as well.

Doesn’t this kitty look happy lounging in the sun? It looks like it a big smile on the face!

Mark built really long tunnels along the fence that are leading to his two cat jungle gym structures.

Mark chose a flap in the window instead of the insert that I am using.

His cage really is a cat jungle gym because they have so many different perches to chose from. He even placed their litter box out here which is possible due to the roof which I don’t have.

There are frequent traffic jams inn this tunnels. The cutest traffic jams I have ever seen, am I right?

And if you can’t or don’t want to build a cat structure yourself then you could consider buying one of these HERE, which aren’t all that expensive.


 

And here are some of the details on how he built it but I don’t have an specific instructions:

Beyond cool isn’t it? I love the cat jungle gym on the old chimney!
Next he said is a lot of landscaping around the structures.

I’m so thankful that he sent me the photos.

Talk to you on Friday my friends.

      Haha, yes it is. He’s a guy after my own heart with all those cats. And they are all big ones too 😉

    I like it, but what’s wrong with the cats? Why are they not allowed in the yard?

      The enclosure is to keep them safe from running outside of the yard. I think it is awesome. There are so many dangers outside of the yard, including neighbors who don’t like kitties. It’s a great idea right?

    Love these cat enclosures! What a wonderful way to keep inside kitties safe, while letting them get a taste of the great outdoors! Thank you, Julia, for inspiring us…I hope to build my own some day!
    🙂

    Thanks for all the nice comments! Julia really inspired me to make this and I’m no carpenter. It’s really one of my first wood projects ever. But it just jad to be as good as hers. She was very helpful with my questions. One hear later now i am going to add to it ao stay tuned. My walkway has grown with vines and offers good shade now. Its been a hot summer but my kitties are outside moat of the time. Even in the winter they are out lots. May do some upgrades and get a nice finish on the wood as Julia has done. She has been great and love her site and blog. Thanks! Mark
