- Does the heating pad stay on all the time?
- The pad has an internal thermostat, so it cycles on and off to hold warmth rather than running flat out. It needs to be plugged into an outdoor-rated outlet.
- Is it warm enough for freezing winters?
- The insulated walls, liner and heated pad make it suitable for cold weather, but it is not a heated building. In hard freezes, add bedding and place it out of wind.
- How many cats fit inside?
- It is sized for one cat or a small pet. The two levels give a sleeping area and a lookout, not room for several cats.
- Does it need to be assembled?
- Yes. It ships flat and takes a couple of hours to put together. Two people make it easier.
- Will the wood rot outdoors?
- The roof and raised floor protect it, but the wood benefits from sealing or painting before winter to extend its life.
- Can it be used indoors?
- It can, but the design targets outdoor use. Indoors the size and the heater cord are more awkward than a simple cat bed.
