We were researching a way to provide a safe and comfortable private space for our 18 year old Senior Female cat named "Novia", without putting up barriers and making our place look like an institution. Our dwelling also houses a one year old white male cat named "Neon" and a one year old Female Jindo Dog named "Winter". They are friendly with Novia but are high energy, running around the house at 100MPH, occasionally teaming up to throw Novia around.
We looked into certain kinds of indoor fences and pet gates but it just did not fit into the look of our place. Besides, we were interested in something that was covered from the top, is easy to assemble and put away, is cost friendly and can be used indoors. I immediately developed a liking to the "ABO GEAR HAPPY HABITAT" due to the price factor, ($35 at the time of my purchase) and the fact that so many people had given it good reviews. The size was just perfect as we did not want an indoor gazebo. Novia mostly sleeps all day and wakes up only for food so it became necessary to provide her a home within a home so she could feel safe when we are at work.
Initial reactions after receiving the tent were mostly good and unboxing to opening to setup took less than 2 minutes. Clear Instructions with pictures are included but may not be required. All that needs to be done is to pull the two black cords on top which will snap all the joints in place. That's it! Tent Setup.
We did realize that the tent was rather light and the coverings felt like mosquito net but it was good in a way providing plenty of ventilation.
Upon Setup, we introduced Novia to her new space and discovered key factors of improvement in relation to our living situation. As our other cat Neon likes to get "Creative" like a mad scientist and explore loop-holes in everything, he did make every attempt to gain entry from all sides including the top of the tent to give his Grandma a hard time. We noticed that the tent was being squished in and pushed around everywhere because it was very light so we decided to reinforce it and add some traction.
We covered the interior flooring with heavy bed sheets and several soft towels Novia loves to sleep on and moved the litter box and large pillows to the corners for weight distribution. after we filled up the litter box with sand and moved her food and water bowl inside as well, the tent felt very sturdy and did not move around at all but we faced another problem.
Neon, after several unsuccessful attempts to gain access began to use his sharp claws between the netting to tease Novia. In order to protect the exterior netting from damage and being ripped open, we put a thick moving pad which had been lying around the house and put it on top of the tent. Surprisingly, the moving pad was large enough to cover the entire area of the tent on all sides and had a little more to spare on the floor.
This worked out perfectly for everyone as for the last 3 or so days, Novia does not even feel like she wants to step outside her little condo and is being fed all her tuna and crackers right there inside. she is very happy now. The front side of the tent has been positioned next to one of the windows she likes to look out of. The two pillows i mentioned about earlier are stacked one on top of the other so she is elevated to the window level.
Neon on the other hand made several attempts to scratch the pad but even his sharp claws cant go through the thick material in the pads. We did not want him to be too depressed so we ordered him a 4 level cat tree with several scratch posts that he loves. He sleeps on the top most level and now teases our dog Winter. As far is Winter is concerned, she received a Memory Foam dog bed of her own so everyone is happy now.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to use it for indoors. Although not perfect out of the box, with a little tweaking and creativity i think you can get most out of it.

Outdoor Time for the Entire Family!
Outdoor family time for humans, cat and horse! This tent is huge, large enough for all of our kitties and is perfect for bringing the cats outside with us. Setup is so easy, just pull the string until it snaps into place and press on the thing at the top to collapse it and roll it up and put it in the bag. We've had it now 6 years and it's held up great. In addition to bringing the cats outside with us, we've used it in a hotel room when we've had to evacuate during a hurricane and often leave it set up inside with a blanket over the top and cat beds inside because 2 of our cats just love to sleep/hang out in it. It was kind of big for the hotel room when we evacuated (2x) but gave us piece of mind to be able to have a safe place for them to be while in were in an unfamiliar place and they love it. When outside it's a safe haven, where they can feel the sun on their fur and the grass through the screened floor. We never leave them unattended, but we're able to relax and enjoy the outdoors together.

Style: Kitty Compound Play HouseVerified Purchase
We have a small patio in our townhome backyard. Our cats beg to be out when it's nice outside, but because we cautious owners, they are only allowed out in their tents. In fact, the moment our sliding glass door opens, they know to run right to the tent openings.
These tents are large, roomy, and avoid the problem of many outside "habitats" for pets—they can't turn into giant hamster wheels when your pet puts its paws up on a wall. Because the tents are also mesh on the bottom, we like to put blankies or a towel down for our babies to sleep on.
They are also simple to set up. Just pull up on the cords and the tent pops open. Push down on the tent supports that are marked with arrows, and it folds down.
We don't tend to put the tent in its package because we use them almost every day. They lean in a corner of our living room in the summer.
And because the tents are mesh, if they accidentally get caught in the rain they're easy to dry out.
We've had one tent for almost four years now, and it has held up to cats who sometimes like to jump up and stick their claws into the mesh when trying to chase a bird. The mesh is really strong and of a great quality. In the photos I've shared you can see the newest version of the tent on the left.
The tents are definitely large enough for multiple cats. Ours are 15 lb (gray tuxedo Ajax) and 11 lbs (white tabby, Athena) siblings, but Athena is a riot grrl and likes to beat up her brother, so she needed her own tent.
Long story short, these tents are absolutely worth the price and are highly recommended for responsible cat owners who want their pets to enjoy nature safely.
