Aivituvin Insulated Cat House AIR12-IN vs K&H Outdoor Heated Kitty House

Buy the Aivituvin AIR12-IN if you want a rigid wooden shelter that will hold up outdoors for years and can stay out in rain and snow. Buy the K&H Outdoor Heated Kitty House if you want a light, easy-to-move house with a thermostatically controlled heated bed and two exits. The Aivituvin wins on build and weatherproofing; the K&H wins on warmth control and escape safety. Owners of the Aivituvin praise the solid wood and insulated liner but note the roughly one-hour assembly. K&H owners like the pet-activated heat and the second door, though the fabric shell is softer and less rigid than wood.

• Choose the Aivituvin AIR12-IN if the house will sit outside year-round in wind, rain or snow and you want a rigid wooden structure with a waterproof asphalt roof.
• Choose the K&H Outdoor Heated Kitty House if you want a lightweight house with a thermostat-controlled heated bed and a second exit so a cat can never be cornered.
