Having a varied environment is really important for cats to stay mentally and physically healthy, so any additional space you can offer your little friend will be of great benefit. Outdoor Cat Tunnels are perfect for cats to play, do some bird watching, or just generally chill out in! Anyway – if you’ve ever tried something like this out, or if you’ve ever considered giving it a go, let me know your thoughts in the comments! Maybe if more of us started trying them, more durable and higher quality ones would begin popping up because of the demand, and we could all have what are essentially temporary, portable catios for taking our indoor cats outside to enjoy the fresh air and sun regularly. I ran the entire 50 foot wire parallel down the side of my neighbors fence. I am going to use the tent steaks to keep the wire in the ground. I think I am going to use my tree or a another piece of wire to secure and close the end. I will need to do the same for the entrance since I am making a make shift cat run. Do you think this will work until I am able to make your cat tunnel design? Of course I will be outside with them keeping my eye on them. Ground tunnels provide the perfect alternative to a catio if your city prohibits building any sort of elevated permanent structure.
Our entryway connects to a small door of one of the smaller catios on the grass. Drill holes into the wood frame to loop some tie wraps through the holes. Use the snap hooks to attach to the cat tunnel to the door frame. 5. Securing the cat tunnels to the groundThere’s no shortage of cat play tunnels on the market. Considering your cat’s preferences for shapes, sounds, and textures can help you make the right choice. After you have all your sections it’s time to join the corners of the tunnel sections using the elbow joiners where they meet at right angles. At this stage, you will know where to cut out the excess sections of wire mesh so that once all corners are joined together, there is a continuous open tunnel. 4. Determine where the connection point for the entrance will be. Incorporate vertical spaces like shelves or climbing structures. Adding toys, scratching posts, and even safe plants can stimulate your cat’s senses and keep them entertained. Ensure there’s also a shaded area and comfortable resting spots. Pouncing from a hidden tunnel feels like the ultimate hunt, releasing the brain chemical dopamine that is coupled with a feeling of eager anticipation. This response can happen even with the slightest sound of nearby prey. Your cat’s hunting mode is firing on all four cylinders, or rather, paws! Plus, these tunnel toys are great for letting your cat tap into their natural instincts in a controlled, indoor way. Here are a few reasons your cat needs a tunnel.
In this article we’ll take a look at some examples of these different types of outdoor cat tunnels and help you decide which option might be best for you. 1) Cat Tunnel Walkways Lastly, always introduce your cat to the new outdoor space gradually. Stay with them during their first few outings to ensure they feel safe and to observe how they interact with their new environment. The goal is to provide a stimulating and secure outdoor experience for your feline friend.We hope this post has inspired you to make your own outdoor cat tunnels! Work with the space you have available, the cats don’t care about the length of the tunnel. As long as they provide some connection to the outdoors for new territories to be conquered, no matter how small, your cat will feel like the Jaguar from the Pantanal. Unroll the wire mesh on the grass to the desired length you wish to make the tunnels. For our tunnels we wanted them to extend just beyond the lilacs so that the cats will have some shade. This length is 362” long. And once they've tired themselves out, your cat can curl up in peach, in a soft and cosy cuddle bag.
