- Is the heated pad safe to leave on all day?
- The pad is designed for continuous indoor-outdoor use, but check that the cord and plug stay dry and out of chewing reach. Place the house where the cord can run safely to an outlet.
- Does it need to be sealed or painted?
- It arrives with a weatherproof finish, but owners in rainy or snowy areas report better longevity after an extra coat of pet-safe sealant. Reapply as the wood dries out.
- How many cats fit inside?
- It suits one cat comfortably, or two small cats that curl up together. The heated pad covers only part of the floor, so a large cat may prefer the unheated side.
- Can it be used indoors?
- Yes. It works as an indoor den or a shelter in a garage or barn, and the raised floor keeps it off cold concrete.
- Is it suitable for a feral cat colony?
- It is a good single-cat shelter for a colony, but you may need several units or a larger multi-cat house for a group. Face the door away from prevailing wind.
