K&H Outdoor Heated Kitty House vs Aivituvin AIR12 Heated Cat House

The K&H Extra-Wide is the better pick for several cats or a large cat in a barn, garage or porch. Its heated floor pad, two flap doors and insulated polyester shell are proven, and 472 ratings average 4.5. The Aivituvin AIR12 is the sturdier-looking house: insulated wood, an asphalt roof and a raised floor resist weather and ground damp better than fabric walls. Owners of soft-sided houses report flapping and wear over seasons; wood holds up but is heavier and needs more assembly care.

• Choose the K&H Outdoor Heated Kitty House Extra-Wide if you have two or more cats, or one large cat, and want a light, tool-free house with a heated floor and two escape exits.
• Choose the Aivituvin AIR12 if you want a rigid wooden house with an asphalt roof and raised floor for a single cat in a wet or windy spot.
