Outdoor Cat Houses

In late summer and early fall cat lovers come out in force to shop for outdoor cat houses, and the manufacturers of these products have answered the call. We are proud to carry a wide assortment of quality outdoor cat house models, most of which are insulated.

You'll find insulated outdoor cat houses in our lineup that are made out of cedar wood which all by itself has natural insulating qualities - adding insulation makes it that much better. Cedar wood also has a molecular structure that withstands humidity and the elements better than other woods. Cedar cat houses age nicely outdoors so even over time our outdoor cat houses won't become eyesores on your property. Cedar wood is hands-down the best wood to use to make outdoor cat houses and dog houses, too.

Whether you are shopping for your own cat or cats, or looking for cat houses for feral cats, you are sure to find the perfect outdoor cat house here. We carry small cedar cat houses suitable for one cat or outdoor cat houses for multiple cats such as the UnderCover Double Decker Insulated Cedar outdoor cat house that is big enough for four cats.

Many outdoor cat house models offer optional heating pads, vinyl door flaps, or both. You can also opt to purchase and install a cat house heater.

Outdoor cat houses for winter are very popular with people who are concerned with the welfare of feral cats. If you are a cat lover who lives in an area with a big population of feral cats you have likely worried about them in the past when the temperature drops to dangerous levels.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to bring a feral cat inside. Most of them are not trusting of people and won't come inside. It is also dangerous to expose your own cat or cats to a feral cat that may be carrying an infectious disease.

A really nice thing to do for feral cats in the wintertime is to provide shelter from the wind and cold. An insulated outdoor cat house would be a welcome addition to any feral cat community. The difference between having shelter and not having shelter could be life or death.

The difference between having an insulated outdoor cat house versus one that is not insulated is added comfort and warmth. Insulation makes a big difference. If it is zero degrees outside a well-insulated outdoor cat house would be about 30 degrees inside. If you live in a cold-weather climate, you know that 30 degrees is practically balmy compared to zero degrees.

It is also important that outdoor cat house floors are raised off the ground to avoid ground-chill and constant exposure to moisture. Ventilation is also important, even during the winter. The best outdoor cat houses are designed with air vents that won't allow rain to get inside.

If you are looking for outdoor cat houses that are too cute for words check out the Ice Cream House and the Room with a View Pet House, both by Merry Products. These quality outdoor cat houses are designed to look like real houses and offer all the benefits that come with cedar wood construction, but they do not have added insulation. These outdoor cat houses are probably best for domestic cats that do not live outside 24/7.
