Which is better for an indoor apartment cat?

The PawHut. It is compact, rolls out of the way, and holds a litter box. The HYJT-H&K is built for outdoor use and is too large for most rooms.

Can the PawHut be used outdoors?

No. It is an indoor wooden house with no weather protection. Rain and sun will damage it.

Which holds more cats?

The HYJT-H&K. It is listed for up to six cats across six levels. The PawHut suits one cat.

Is the HYJT-H&K hard to assemble?

It ships as a kit and weighs about 55 lb, so plan on two people and a couple of hours. The PawHut is lighter and simpler.

Does the HYJT-H&K roof really keep rain out?

The Oxford cloth tarp covers the top and can be moved for sun. It is more protective than a bare wooden roof, but check the tarp after heavy storms.

Is stepping up to the catio worth it?

Only if you have outdoor space and cats that want fresh air. For indoor litter and resting space, the PawHut does the job.
