Frisco Outdoor Cat House vs K&H Outdoor Heated Kitty House

The K&H Heated Kitty House is the better pick for cold climates and feral cats that need real warmth. Its included 20-watt heated bed, preset thermostat and insulated walls keep cats warm below freezing, which the Frisco wooden house cannot do without added insulation. The Frisco is the better-looking option for a backyard and has a roomier two-story interior, but owners report thin sides, floor gaps and fiddly assembly. Reviewers rate both highly; the K&H wins on winter performance and the Frisco wins on style and space.

• Choose the Frisco Outdoor Cat House if you want a wooden, two-story house that looks good in the yard and gives cats room to move, and you live somewhere with mild winters.
• Choose the K&H Heated Kitty House if you are sheltering cats through freezing weather and want built-in heat, insulation and tool-free setup.
