Insulated And Heated Cedar Wood Outdoor Cat House.
Welcome to Outdoor Cat House.
People own cats for a few different reasons. The majority, because they love the feline animal.
I am pretty certain you belong to the majority, and you will agree with me, when I say, they do give us those moments of worry, like this for example.
How many times has your cat wanted to go outside, just minutes before you wanted to go to bed? In such a situation had I installed an outdoor cat house, I would have just let the cat out and gone happily to bed, confident that my little pet would be safe, if she needed any shelter or refuge, in her outdoor cat house.
I have forgotten the number of times, I have had to wait up for my cat to come in, to lock the house up and retire for the night. I am sure you would have too. In hind sight, had I installed an outdoor cat house, I would have never have waited up, but just locked up retired for the night, knowing that if my cat needed a place to seek refuge or shelter in, she had her warm and safe outdoor cat house to welcome her.
How many times have you stood there waiting for your much loved cat to come home, because you know you will not be able to get sleep, and will just lie awake with worry, if he or she is not in the house for the night. Now I ask you to be honest and tell me if you would have ever worried had you installed an outdoor cat house on your property.
I know from personal experience, that it is not easy to fall asleep, when you know that your cat is outside, while you are rugged up in bed, especially during the winter months, and on rainy nights. How many times have you got up in the middle of the night, and gone to the back door, to call them in? Like me, you would have eventually given up, rather reluctantly though, and prayed that your cat is ok and has found somewhere warm and safe for the night. However, all this worry and stress would have been needless, had we installed an outdoor cat house for our beloved pets.
On the other hand, do you have a spoiled house cat? A loveable wild tom cat, that will not stay in the house, but wants to roam? Do you hold an open house for sheltering the neighborhood stray cat? Have a soft corner for that luckless feral cat? Then you will need to provide some kind of Outdoor Cat Shelter, as outdoor enclosures have been established as the best protection for an indoor bred cat while spending time outdoors. Outdoor cat houses and cat enclosures outdoor have become a part of a normal pet cat’s important accessories.
Cats will sleep just about anywhere in the house. However, spoil your house cat and give it the independence it needs. Take advantage of the insulated cedar open air cat houses we have on offer. Look at the katkabin cat house, it is an outdoor cat house built for the outdoor cat.

Outdoor Cat Shelters For Stray Cats
Stray cats are a huge problem that many cities and suburbs are facing to-day. Most often, it is because the cat has wandered away from its home and got lost.. Many a time it is the conscious but cruel act of some heartless cat owner who has abandon his or her pet on the road site, leaving the poor feline to fend for itself..
You may have stray cats in your area, but it is an unfortunate fact that you will not be able to help them all. Stray cats invariably are infested with fleas, or have some other similar problem that makes it very dangerous to permit them into our homes. Even if you felt inclined to adopt every stray cat, it would not be feasible, because it would not be financially viable.
However there is one affordable way by which we can help these poor abandoned, stray and feral cats, and that is by installing an outdoor cat house in our backyard. An outdoor cat house will provide shelter for these unfortunate stray cats on cold winter nights or during stormy wet weather. This is one way, you can help the strays without having to risk allowing them into your home.
Before you dash off to purchase an outdoor cat house to provide strays with a safe and warm place to curl up in, there are several different aspects that needs consideration.
The first thing that needs to be decided upon, is the size of the house. This is a decision depending purely on the number of strays you wish to provide shelter for. If you are not sure, the most practical thing to do is to buy a fairly large sized house, if your finance permits it, in case more that one stray decides to take advantage of your hospitality.
Having said that, you would have to take into consideration the space you have available in your back yard, and how much of it you want to sacrifice for the outdoor cat house. If you have a smaller yard you may not want to purchase the biggest cat house available. The next important thing to consider is the exposure to the elements the cat house would be subject to if placed in that particular spot in your back yard.
With these basics decided upon you are now ready to start shopping for an outdoor cat house.
To get an idea of what is available, the best thing to do is to browse online catalogues where you will find a range of options on the architectural styles, materials used, insulated levels and sizes.
You can settle on a design to match the architecture of your house, and then move on to the type of material, which can be cedar wood or recycled plastic, but all this would depend on two major factors (1) the amount of time you can spend on cleaning and maintaining, and (2) your budget.
No matter what style, material or size you decide upon, and how much you spend, you can be rest assured that by placing an outdoor cat house in your back yard, you will be providing a stray cat with a warm place to sleep.

Features Of An Outdoor Cat House
While the iconic doghouse has become an engrained part of American culture there is very little mention, however, of the equally important and much needed outdoor cat house.
Any American who resides in a quiet suburban or rural area and who is owner to outdoor cats knows the importance and need for an outside shelter for his or her feline friends.
Designed very much on the lines of a doghouse, all outdoor cat houses are so built so as to keep a cat warm and dry in the cold, rainy winter months and cool in the hot dry summer months.
All units are made from weather-resistant woods, (the same used in most outdoor furniture) and since of late also in poly resin plastics.
Wood is the most popular and is a classic choice because of its tradition as a building material and also because of its natural beauty. While some woods, like teak, are hardy and weather-resistant, other wood, like cedar, produce insect repellent tannins.
The last decade has witnessed the emergence of the outdoor cat houses made of plastics which have come a long way as far as quality and popularity are concerned. Current plastic models are extremely durable, colorful and elaborately crafted. They can be hosed clean and usually come fully assembled.
When buying an outdoor cat house make sure that is only big enough to allow the cat to comfortably lie down and turn around in, with a snug fit. A cathouse that is too big will cause the warmth produced by the cat’s body heat to quickly dissipate, actually making it colder.
Go for the slightly larger houses if you own multiple outdoor cats, or larger cats.
As far as features go, no matter what be the material they are constructed from, they must be waterproof, durable and have ventilation. Do not be taken in by appearance. You inspect one and find it is sturdy durable and waterproof, then you glance at the next it looks the same, but it may not be, inspect it to make sure.
The opening and doorway could be square, round, and even off center. Remember a cat can squeeze through small openings, and the smaller the opening the less heat is lost.
Extra protection from harsh weather, wind and moisture can be given with the addition of door vinyl flaps.
That much for the basic outdoor cat house. There are a lot of additional features on many upgraded models which are not necessary, but add convenience, are luxurious and fun.
Elevated floors or an entirely elevated house will keep your cat away from the damp and cold or wet ground. There are also cathouses with lofts and roof decks that would appeal to the climbing and jumping nature of cats, who will love lounging on their outdoor perch to survey their surroundings.
From the sublime to the ridiculous. There are outdoor cat houses that mimic the finer edifices of society, in miniature form. There are barns, cabins, mansions with attached deck, and covered porches. If you have more than one cat, you can find an ornate bi-level townhouse to mimic city living.
Last but not the least are the considerations of comfort and ease.
An easily detachable roof allows for the lifting of kittens, invalid and shy pets much more conveniently than through the front opening. It also facilitates complete cleaning of the inside of the house.
Bedding in the form of a cushion with waterproof filling and a waterproof, machine washable cover not only gives your cat a comfortable surface to lie on, they also add added insulation to the bottom of the outdoor cat house.
