In and out playhouse for cats
View Patent ↗This is a multi-level outdoor enclosure for cats that mounts through the window and allows the cats access to an outdoor environment. It is designed in such a way that it will fit any sash type window and installs in minutes with no tools needed. The system consists primarily of a frame and two wire cages commonly used for pets. The frame extends through the window and bends 180 degrees so the ends of the frame rest against the interior wall. The other end of the frame forms a “C” shape and the lower end rests against the exterior wall. It also serves to enclose the lower cage securely attached to the frame. Mounted on top of this base cage is a second cage that is level with the window opening and can be moved into the window opening. This upper cage has a “cat flap door” that allows the animals to enter the cage while sealing the HVAC conditions within the room. There is an opening in the upper cage floor that allows the animals to move from one level to the other.
