So I'm thinking whether to double the size of our 3 cats outdoor enclosure, or build something like this in one of the bedrooms to keep them happy and getting some exercise in the long winter nights here in the PNW. The price these people sell for these things is outrageous unless you have the money. The outdoor enclosure we have cost about $300 in supplies, and $150 labor, this was built by a neighbor, but had I bought it online it would have been half the size and another $150.
Now this indoor/outdoor cat house cost $4,000, they have all kinds of cool things for cats, but I could get this play house made for about $600 in parts and labor. With a little thought, and finding used lumber that is still in good shape and the cats would have year around fun. We have a nice 3 perch, 2 condo cat tree, so maybe I'll think of a way to use it. It wasn't expensive, $185. All I can think of is the 3 cats running from the outdoor enclosure through the bathroom, almost always skidding out on the floors waking us up. Then they hit the living room right into the kitchen where they love to spin out like a guy i their hot rod. It's too funny, except my partner has to work. They are pretty good about sleeping when I am, but sometimes I'm a night owl,
