ABO Gear Fun Run

It pops right up; no assembly required. Spikes go easily into soft ground; empty sandbags available to use if necessary (but the cat provides the real weight). A towel wrapped around part of the fun run provides shade and my cat loves the "I'm SO invisible" feeling. Wonderful to see the "proud lion" look on her face as a nice breeze moves across her. Totally worth the investment, from the comparisons I've seen online. My only complaint is that while folding it up, it wants to pop back open. Even so, it will go into it's carrying case. My best furry friend and I are both very happy with the Fun Run!

I bought this for my indoor cats and they both promptly freaked when I zipped them in it...it's too confining on its own and seemed like a glorified cage. However, I purchased a pop-up tent of the same material and purpose and attached the two together with twist ties, and they seem to enjoy that much more b/c it's much more spacious. Perhaps I should've bought two of these and that would've worked..however just one unit is not enough for a normal sized cat.

I have five indoors cats. I purchased one of these tubes to see if my cats would enjoy it.

Sadly , I have not had the greatest experience with this product. I purchased it from another online retailer. When it arrived it was packed well and product appeared brand new. I was disappointed to find that the seam on one end of the tube was unfinished leaving a one and half inch gap where the zipper closes. I ended up sewing it closed myself. After just a few uses one of the metal rings that gives this shape is protruding out.

My other issue is a warning to anybody that purchases this tube!!! Make sure you use a large safety pin on each of the zippered ends. One of my cats was able to jiggle the zipper open and escape the tube. I caught her and she is fine but I just want to stress that a cat can jiggle the zippers open.

I encountered another safety issue in storing this product. Granted this was probably partially my fault but I want to warn others.Here is what happened. This tube compresses down very easily to size so that it may be stored in a nylon bag that comes with the product. I had compressed this down after my cats were done using it. I did not zip up both ends though I had left one end unzipped) I then placed it in it's bag.The bag has a small piece of Velcro as a closure but it doesn't close the bag up completely. I had also tied the bags handles together loosely. I then stored it next to my sofa. I work nights. When I get home every morning ALL my cats great me. Well on this morning one of my "girls" was missing.I searched my small condo and then I heard the cries...My cat Ashley had some how slipped into the open space in the bag and went into the unzipped end and in her struggle this tube partly expanded trapping her inside....She was mess !!! I now keep this outside in my deck box. !!!! Warning store with both ends zippered closed!!!

What do my cats think about? It's a mixed bag. Two detested it and protest loudly if I try to leave them in it for more than five minutes. The other three love it !

My initial thoughts were that I was going to buy a few of these so that all of my cats could go out at once. I plan on looking into other portable cat enclosures.

I bought this tunnel to go with the ABO tent that I already have. I wanted to be able to leave the tent on the patio and connect the tunnel to it from the apartment. It works ok for this. I had read other reviews that indicated the tent zipped around the tunnel. It does, sorta. With heavy play from my two cats, the zipper eventually slides leaving gaps that the cats can fit through. I have to check every few minutes to ensure my cats are still in the tent. Perhaps some zip-ties would help, I haven't tried that yet. I had actually hoped I could zip them together somehow, but that's not an option. Aside from that, the tunnel is great. It pops up with no effort and holds its form very well. My cats use it to run from the apartment to the tent and back again...and again...and again...for as long as I'll allow them to. My cats are indoor cats, but at our last place I had built a large outdoor cat enclosure...this is a much smaller option but so far they seem quite happy with it.

I do agree with some of the other reviews that indicated the tunnel alone might feel too confining. I left the tunnel out for a while for my cats to get used to and only one of them would go in it. The others would go in the entrance and quickly turn back around. But it works great with the tent if you have the space/ability.

The tunnel and tent are both made with mesh materials, so you will need to keep your cats clawed trimmed to keep them from catching. This hasn't been a big deal for me as I trim their claws regularly anyway, but I felt it was worth mentioning.
