K&H Pet Products Heated A-Frame Cat House, Gray/Black

We were going to be traveling over the holidays and our cat loves to come and go as she pleases. She prefers to be outside at night but in the winter all our lives, including hers, gets upset due to night cat activity. Our daughter watched the house and we wanted a way for her to be warm and protected if she stayed out all night. She absolutely loves this thing. In typical cat fashion they usually love or hate something and she LOVES it. She actually gets mad if we put our hand in it while she is in there. It is perfect for one cat. We leave one flap on and one off. Was worried I was going to be wasting my money but it is hands down the best thing I have ever bought her!

She stays out in rain, snow and wind and only comes in to eat and take an occasional nap. She is very happy. We keep it on our patio table so she has a better view and is a bit safer in evenings from critter visitors. … more

We had a stray, or perhaps feral, cat--very skinny, coming out from under our deck around dusk. We've been feeding him/her and providing a heated water dish on the house side, but still under the deck, with an eye to taming him/her enough to take to our vet for neutering. In the meantime, it's a Pennsylvania winter, so I bought this house. We *think* it's being used, but, even if not yet, it makes me feel better that it's out there. Hoping s/he will seek its warmth.

At first we thought this house would be a dud -- we plugged it in and kitty wouldn't stay inside, even with treats, reminded him too much of his carrier. Plus, the pad itself didn't seem that warm. However! We put black construction paper over the back entrance, so he wouldn't feel "exposed" from behind, and it worked! Kitty went right in. Stayed there for maybe 4 hours on and off that day. Plus, looks like when he lays on the pad he absorbs the warmth, so heat level is good. May need to try a few different things to get different kitties to buy in, but so far, Simon likes his house!

Bought this during Black Friday because the price was nice and I thought my kitties would love it. Sure enough I was right! I plugged it in to see if it worked well. At first I was a little apprehensive because it didn’t seem to be reaching the 102°F the box said it was supposed to reach but I let the real critics test it out- both of my cats love them! It gets warmer then they are in there and I assume To reserve energy and preserve the product, it cools off when they are out of it. My one kitty, Elinor(black DSH pictured) gets the most use out of it. I have a sunroom that isn’t heated so it can get kind of cold. They like going out there and spending the day and despite the fact that they have Bought this during Black Friday because the price was nice and I thought my kitties would love it.

I plug it in and leave it on during the day and plug it off at night while they stay inside. Has two exits covered with a little plastic flap that I removed on one end so they can look out(or rest their heads out like Elinor!) they’re big kitties (Elinor is 10.5 lbs and My other one is 11 lbs and they fit very comfortably all the way in there. (One at a time). Elinor likes to peek her head out while my other guy likes to curl up all the way inside! … more

We have a stray cat who adopted us. We can’t bring her inside, our big dogs aren’t cat friendly, however we wanted a way to keep her warm and sheltered. This heated house is just the trick. We placed it on our large front porch, which is where she sleeps anyway. We put it out when there were a few warm days, so we left the top off to get her used to it. When it turned chilly then cold, we added the top and plugged it in. She LOVES it! She stays nice and toasty warm even on the coldest nights!

This is the third K& H outdoor heated pet house I have purchased. The other two are still in use after several years. This one has an even better nicer feeling heated cushion. Beds DO NOT get real hot as some people don' t seem to understand. It's designed to warm the cats underside and that keeps the whole kitty warm. These beds are great for a sheltered area outside. I have one on my deck that does not have a roof over it but has an overhang and it is nestled against the house. I have a stray cat that comes by each day for breakfast and dinner and she uses it to stay warm and comfy till it's time to eat. I keep mine plugged in all the time during the winter.

I also have one on my front porch. It sits on a bench and another stray cat calls that home. It also stays plugged in all the time during winter. These beds wash well. House is easy to clean by just wiping it down. I do have the one on the porch tied down to a bench because in a strong wind it could blow away. These houses are light weight. I do have to tie the flaps back because like others have said cats will not come inside with that plastic flap hanging there. Sort of defeats the whole purpose of a flap to keep out the cold but cats have their preferences. I highly recommend these houses. … more

I refer to it as kitty hut. My kitties like to lay on the cable box, a regular heat pad or me. They also love to lay in places where they are hidden. I thought this product would be the perfect solution. The problem is that it's not as warm as what they have already been using so they seldom go in it. I wish there was options for the temperature setting.

I've tried everything including leaving it open, cat nip, you name it and my cats won't go near it. It is smaller than I thought but I assume they did this to keep more heat in. Quite a chunk of cash to spend when cats won't use it. I was surprised as they are usually very adventurous. Hopefully you will have better luck. Easy to assemble.

This is a great product. Though my cat would not go in it, when he was attacked by a raccoon, nearly killed, after a visit to vet, now lives in laundry room. I took heating pad out of this house & when my injured cat discovered it, he has rarely left it, sleeping very, very soundly at last. Please, Chewy, tell K&H that all their small animal heating pads should be so constructed. I have others, but they are so hard, I have to put blanket on top before animal will use.

I bought this for my porch kitty. I don’t think he likes it at the moment but hoping it will grow on him. He will lay on it if I keep the top open and he enjoys the heating pad very much!
