Good

I wasn't even going to write a review on this at first because there's already so many positive reviews about it on here but after experiencing something super disgusting I felt really compelled to to give current owners of this/future buyers a heads up.I have two indoor cats and two outdoor cats. The reason they're outdoors isn't by my choice trust me because I adore animals and love helping them, I live with my dad and as you know when you live with someone you have to be courteous of their wants/needs too and he's not all that crazy about having four cats in the house (our house isn't small but not huge by a long shot) and most importantly I had my two indoor cats before I moved to my current home and found both my two outdoor cats living as strays on my property so I have to keep their needs to heart as well- four cats (as well as two dogs) in one medium sized house is a no go and wouldn't make them too happy especially my cats because they like having space. My two outdoor cats get treated the exact same and get the same amount of love and care as my indoor cats, only difference is they live outside. I live out in the country, don't have neighbors for miles and have 13 acres of land so they're safe and they NEVER get within 100 feet of the road (only have one road in front of my house but my house is about 400 feet back so it's not on right on the toad) if they even hear a car they'll hall butt back to the house to safety.Which leads me to why I purchased this. I have a garage that I set up real nice for them, so if the weathers bad anything like that i'll bring them in my garage (my cars are stored in my workshop that's a separate building) but the thing is Cleo and Mufasa (my two outdoor cats) really ain't all the crazy about each other, i'll bring them both in when it's bad but they hiss at each other and Mufasa isn't 100% calm around people, he's still somewhat skittish so getting him in the garage isn't super hard but not super easy either, whereas Cleo is the compelete opposite. So I got this for Mufasa, obviously i'll still bring him inside if weather gets super bad but on a regular basis this is fine.I set it up around 4/5 days ago, I put it in my garden against my house because Mufasa often lays in there so I thought it'd be a good spot.. and I was right he's used it a lot BUT today I passed it and saw that it had dirt and mulch in it from the garden from him going in and out so I went to it and picked it up to take the heating pad out to shake the dirt out and guess what happened? THERE WAS ANTS LIVING IN IT they actually made an ant hill underneath it! 🤢 And don't worry it gets better, I got my broom to sweep the ants off then took it apart and as I did that a cockroach came flying out after calming down I lifted the heating mat out and there was another little cockroach underneath the mat and two earwigs 🤢🤢 I immediately took the whole thing apart and threw the heating mat cover in the washing machine.So to sum things up: It works, it's good quality, rainproof, my cat loves it and it'll keep your baby warm but don't be surprised when you see disgusting bugs in there who are tryin to keep warm too 🤢 I'm really not sure what can be done to keep the bugs out it's super gross but just wanted to give y'all a heads up... nothing you can do but being prepared for the nastiness is better then nothin.

Heavy duty. My chunk of a shadow cat didn't even make the house move when jumping on top of it. Very firm walls & heavy duty material. I stuck my hand inside and was shocked that it was noticeable warmer in there than outside. (I already owned one of this brands heating pads). These houses are in my garage for my two feral kitties. Kitty 1 approved instantly with cat nip inside. Kitty 2 won't go all the way in yet, but then again he probably remembers me trying to cage him to take him to the vet wden he was injured lol... he doesn't trust me like the smart kitty he is. Lol just buy this one. I've read nightmares about other brands. Trusted brand.

I got this for my cats back when we were having below zero temperatures. While I wasn’t always able to keep it on because I was worried about it catching fire or having electrical issues, (it never did) they still loved it when it was off. I even found two of my cats who didn’t like each other cuddling in there together. But if you have big cats you should get more than 1 because it is very small. But other than that it is great quality and very comfortable

My daughter bought one of these last year for the feral cats who have taken up residence in the backyard, but Eeyore is not sharing the warmth with Cinnamon, so my husband and I decided to buy another for her before a cold snap hit. The older house has been sitting outside in the sun for about a year, and the sunlight has caused the plastic to deteriorate. I accidentally made a crack in the top of the house while cleaning it, which I'll cover with a strip of duct tape when it warms up. Otherwise, the old house is in really great condition, and the heating pad still works. I would advise to take your cat house apart and clean it periodically if you keep it outside full time. I took one of the doors off, since the cats weren't going into the house with it on, so rain water gets in and it tends to get moldy if I don't. If you use both doors, you may not have that problem.
