- Is it warm enough for winter?
- The foam-insulated layer and raised floor help, and owners report cats stay warm on cold nights. Add dry straw or bedding, and place it out of wind and direct rain for the best result.
- Can two cats fit inside?
- It suits one cat comfortably, or two that curl up together. The interior is smaller than the outside dimensions suggest, so large or active cats may find it tight.
- Does it need assembly?
- Yes, it comes as wooden panels to put together. Assembly is straightforward, but plan to seal or paint the wood before placing it outdoors.
- Will it stay dry in rain?
- It handles light rain, but owners report moisture getting in when it is fully exposed. Put it under a porch or roof overhang and reseal the wood each year.
- Is it better than a plastic igloo shelter?
- The wood and foam hold warmth better and look sturdier, but plastic is lighter and needs no upkeep. Choose this one if you can give it a sheltered spot and don't mind resealing.
- What should I put inside?
- Use straw or a dry, removable bed rather than blankets, which hold damp. Straw insulates well and is easy to swap out.
