3 out of 5 stars An 'OK' cat house-Needs modified for outdoor use   October 3, 2009
L. Cannon (Columbus, OH)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I purchased this house for my indoor/outdoor cat for $80 from Petsmart. I've been searching the internet for weeks for an affordable,quality cat house (to no avail). This was very easy to put together, took me about 15 minutes, although I omitted the lattice and steps (which seem useless for cats) and modified the front entrance. I took both sides of the steps and cut them to fit the front, gluing them one on top of the other across the bottom part of the entrance. Since this will be used during the winter, I wanted a smaller opening and something more protective from snow and rain. My 15 lb. cat eases in and out of it without any problem with the smaller opening.
And yes, I did have to caulk it, it would have most definitely leaked, there were gaps between the wood. I caulked the top and sides, sealing every single seam. I also gave it a coating of waterproof stain (additional supplies cost $15). The wood is thin and it's aromatic but not overwhelming. My cat seems to like it, taking to it quickly and it will keep him dry and warm, serving its purpose. Worth the price even on sale? Probably not, but with the modifications I made, I think it will work fine for my cats needs.



5 out of 5 stars My dogs love this lookout post!   September 21, 2009

I have had this pet house for four-and-a-half years and it is still going strong. It is great for relatively small dogs, I'd say up to 15-20 lbs. I put a square dog bed with bolster sides on top to make it comfy, and my two chihuahuas, 7 lbs and 4 lbs, are usually up there together enjoying each other's company. There's plenty of room for both. They can both easily climb the steps and get into the bed.

The house is next to the main front window in my house, and my dogs use the top deck as a lookout perch. It is absolutely their favorite place -- if I'm looking for them in the house that's the first place I check. They watch the bikers, dog walkers, cats, etc. go by and bark at them. Great entertainment for them (even if a little loud for me.) Neither one of them likes to stay in the little room underneath (although sometimes the littlest one hides in it when she knows she's been bad), but it is perfect for storing dog toys. Just toss them through the large door and voila, everything is picked up. My dogs know where their toys are and readily go into the little room to get them.

The house was easy to assemble and it is very sturdy. It's also lightweight, so it's easy to move around if necessary. The stairs are worn now (mainly the top two), but that's to be expected after 4+ years of constant use, and the appearance of the steps isn't really objectionable. The wear merely represents how much use the steps get.

I would absolutely recommend this pet house to a friend. It was a tad expensive, but it has proved to be the best purchase I've ever made for my small dogs.



5 out of 5 stars just what I wanted   June 21, 2009
Ally
I read several reviews before I made this purchase. The fun part is the product suppose to be a dog house and so many of us use it for cat. That's the same case to me. My cats are easy to accomodate. I only have to put a little cat nip inside to attract them to go in. The top deck just work wonderful to be the feeding space.
I also like it to be all cedar that just work good for semi-outdoor situation so the bug don't craw in too much.
The assembly is a breeze. I don't even need help from my husband but a Black and Decker electric screw driver only.
I may get another one when winter comes so each of my cat have their own place.

I purchased this for my 2 small dogs for use indoors. I was really impressed by the packaging, nothing was broken during shipment because it was packed so tight. It was also really easy to assemble (although I did have some screws left over). My dogs LOVE it.


4 out of 5 stars Cat Loves It - Not Weatherproof   November 30, 2008
Gregory Neyman (Dayton, OH)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Our outdoor cat loves this product. Placed a heated bed in it. The Petsafe Wellness Heated Bed (mini) is a perfect fit. This product is not weatherproof, and should be used on a covered porch. The top is wood slats with very small gaps, and water would leak right thru to the interior. I put the cat's food on top, but not the water, as a spill would go right to his bed inside. Top is only removable if you do not use the screws and attach the top.
