I had strap down the cat swing. They weren't having it.

Want to create a jungle gym in my apartment for my cats. India.
cant find any trust worthy seller. there are always quality issues or delivery issues.
Any recommendations?

A lot of cat owners struggle with the same question:

“How do I let my cat enjoy being outside safely?”

For many people, a catio ends up feeling like a good middle ground. Cats still get outdoor enrichment and stimulation, but within a secure space designed for them.

Back in stock at Costco. I missed it when it first came out earlier this year but got one this morning, just in time for my cat’s birthday 🎁

MUMU started as a practical frustration in my own home. I’m Vincent Renon, a product designer based in the Netherlands, and I share my place with two shelter cats, Pip and Puk. Because we don’t have a garden, I’ve always been intentional about making our home engaging for them, without turning our living room into a pet store.

When I looked for cat furniture locally, I kept running into the same compromise: pieces that were functional for cats, but didn’t feel like real furniture. Flimsy, outdated aesthetics, and products you’d rather hide than enjoy. As a designer, that didn’t sit right, so I did what I always do: I started making my own.

I began building and experimenting at home, and somewhere between prototypes and daily life with Pip and Puk, I noticed a pattern. Any time I changed something in the room, moved a chair, rearranged a corner, introduced a new configuration, the cats lit up. More curiosity, more play, more exploration. It wasn’t about “more stuff”. It was about change.

That insight became the heart of MUMU. A modular system that lets you reconfigure the setup to keep novelty alive, while still looking and feeling like a piece of furniture you’re proud to have in your home. After months of sketching, 3D modeling, prototyping, and obsessing over details like easy assembly and durable connections, MUMU became a real product: modular cat furniture designed around real cat behaviour, made for design-conscious homes, and tested in real life (with Pip & Puk as the strictest critics).

Now, MUMU is ready to move from prototype to production. On May 12, we are launching on Kickstarter to fund our first manufacturing run. Crowdfunding gives us the independence to keep the design uncompromised. By backing the project, you’re not just getting the first MUMU tower, you’re helping us build a foundation to introduce new materials, module shapes, and designs in the future. If you believe that living with cats shouldn't mean sacrificing your interior, we'd love for you to join us!

A private route from the house straight into a larger outdoor enclosure is a pretty solid concept.

Window insert, tunnel, platform, ramp, then more space to explore. This stop at the top platform seems to be an important part of the experience.

A customer sent us this photo and we thought it was too cool not to share.

There’s something about seeing a cat get outdoor time like this right in the middle of a city — up high, plenty to watch, and a safe space to explore.

So now I’m a little confused…

I'm not sure if I posted in this group but I posted over the winter about a coyote showing up by our catio, but I was looking through the footage again and this one’s tail looks different to me — kind of a lighter tip on it. Or is that just the light coming through the trees?

Now I’m wondering if this might actually be a fox?

Either way, it walked right up to the catio again and hung around for a bit like it was trying to figure things out. My cat was inside at the time, thank goodness.

It’s a Habitat Haven catio, so I wasn’t too worried about it getting in, but I still wouldn’t let my cat out with something like that around. No way...

What do you all think this is?

Started as an intern in the Bird Watching Department.

Now I run the whole operation.

Hello.

I have tested the basket on this cat tree.

It is soft.
It is comfortable.
I will now live here.

Found the hammock.
Passed the vibe check.
Hasn’t moved since.

A customer sent us this photo after finishing their catio setup and the whole space ended up looking like a cat adventure park.

The bridge walkway, shelves, and climbing areas give their cats a ton of vertical space to explore.

We always love seeing the creative ways people incorporate these setups into their homes.

A customer shared these photos with us and we honestly had to pass them along.

They turned their catio into a full-on little jungle, layers of greenery, grass underfoot, perches at different heights, and cozy spots to lounge. It feels less like an enclosure and more like an extension of the home that just happens to be cat-proof.

One of the coolest things about setups like this is how flexible catios can be. Some people keep them simple, others go all out with plants, textures, and enrichment, and both approaches work. It really comes down to what your cats love most.

This one definitely had us inspired. 🌿🐾

A customer shared this setup with us recently, and it’s a great example of how flexible catio designs can be.

This enclosure sits right up against a Michigan room (an enclosed backyard deck), with a window insert and built-in cat door that gives the owners control over when their cats have access, free to come and go, or limited when needed.

The added awning helps keep the space protected from rain and weather, making it usable more consistently throughout the year.

What we love about setups like this is how they show that a catio doesn’t have to be a standalone structure in the middle of the yard. They can connect to existing spaces, adapt to the home, and be designed around how people actually live with their cats.

If you were designing a catio, would you want it fully open all the time, or with the option to control access?

One of our favorite things to watch is how confidently cats move once they’re in a space that feels secure.

Tunnels like this often become the main “highway” pretty quickly, whether they’re connecting the house to a catio, linking one enclosure to another, or doubling as a favorite perch along the way. Lots of slow walks, pauses, and staring at everything outside.

Do your cats move through their catio right away, or do they take a few laps to inspect everything first?

One thing we see over and over with window enclosures is how quickly cats divide the space.

One claims the lower level and checks out completely, while the other heads up to watch everything.

Do your cats rotate spots, or do they each pick a level and stick with it?

I hate the look of normal cat trees and if I get one but don’t put it in my living room, I have a feeling my cats won’t use it. So, I want to know if there are woodworking plans or even a good aesthetic cat tree on Amazon or something. My house is slightly cottage core and lots of wood. The ones I could find on Amazon are small and I’m looking for something that has lots of space and can hold my big cats! Also needs to have a scratching post!

Lmk your suggestions!

Hey everyone! I'm planning out my basement finish and had a wild idea I wanted to run by the cat-loving community here.

My two cats, Chef and Noodle, absolutely love being up high. I've built them a bunch of wall-mounted cat furniture in other parts of the house (shelves, perches, etc.), and they use it constantly.

My latest thought is to incorporate a "cat soffit" into the basement ceiling design. Essentially, it would be a crawl-space accessible only to them, running along the top of a wall, possibly with multiple entry/exit points. Think of it as an enclosed, elevated highway for them.

My main question is this: While they love being high up and exploring, I'm not sure how they'd feel about being inside an enclosed space like a soffit. Has anyone ever done something similar or have experience with cats and enclosed overhead spaces? Do you think they'd enjoy the privacy and hidden pathways, or would they feel too confined?

I've attached a picture to give you a better idea of what I'm envisioning (this is just the studs of the soffit currently, I’m still working on enclosing the ceiling).

I used the (free) yarnspirations pattern. I didn’t get the dimensions of the foam quite right so it just looks well-loved already. 🤣 Had to bribe the orange with catnip but my dream is that he’ll sleep on it eventually! 😻

I’m cat sitting for a couple of months, so I made a guest bed.
