K&H Pet Products Outdoor Heated Kitty House

My outdoor “semi-wild” cat loves her new heated kitty house! I removed the front door flap first thing and tried to get her inside with food but NO! Next I unzipped one side and folded the roof over and sat beside the house with my arm lying inside on the bed. She loves being scratched, so I put my hand right inside the doorway and began scratching her as I pulled my hand inside the house! She walked right inside but wouldn’t stay very long because she was nervous. I repeated this several times so she got a little comfortable inside. I knew if she ever laid down and felt the warmth, she would love it. Well it took a couple of days and I walked out one cold evening before I went to bed and she My outdoor “semi-wild” cat loves her new heated kitty house!

I lowered the roof and zipped it down and she is in it every day/night now! Yay!! This was easy to assemble and seems very well made and durable. I love that the heated pad cover slips off and is machine washable too. My cat is big and she slips through the door and curls up real cozy with plenty of room! I would highly recommend getting this for your outside cat! … more

My daughter said 'you fed it you own it'. I fed a local stray that I was afraid was not going to make it through the winter so I felt obligated to provide shelter but not a room in the house for an unknown feline. Saw this on sale and it arrived a couple of days later. White Cat With Black Spots as we call her moved in almost immediately. I found out very quickly this was not meant for outdoor wet weather without additional protection so I looked through the ratings and saw where another person put two storage bins together. I did the same with a little modification and some insulation under the bottom of the house. Now with the warmer connected and rain proof, she is protected from cold and My daughter said 'you fed it you own it'.

I did the same with a little modification and some insulation under the bottom of the house. Now with the warmer connected and rain proof, she is protected from cold and wet as it has survived a snow storm and rain. I do have to open it up periodically to dry it out because moisture will accumulate inside the enclosure. It needs periodic upkeep and cleaning anyway so I only use twist ties to hold the bins together and so far so good. … more

Medium sized house which was easy to put together and set up. Sturdy and aesthetically appealing but definitely not warm enough for an outdoor house in my climate. The plastic flap that covers both entrances is attached by velcro and definitely does not keep cold air from entering. The heating pad is barely warm to the touch indoors. This house needs major protection from the elements if used for outdoors in, close to or, freezing temperatures. Maybe my expectations were too high? I bought 4 and are using them but with insulation on top so as to keep the inside as warm as possible. Buy it on sale and create your own exterior insulation. Then it might be worth it.

I bought this for a neighborhood feral cat that everyone feeds, and I let inside my garage during the night when it's too cold. My garage is unheated, so I thought it would be great to have this there for the cat. Unfortunately, I assembled it inside my house where my pet cat found it and claimed it for his own. He won't budge out of it while I'm around (I think he knows it was for the feral cat), so I'll have to buy another one to put in the garage. Definitely a good buy for any cat owner.

We have three cats. The two boy cats do not like each other at all, so one stays in the garage when the other's inside and comes in when he's outside. We initially got this for the new boy cat since the garage is so chilly and we don't want him to get too cold. We plugged it in and took off the doors (huge tip btw). We haven't seen him use it, but we're mostly confident he likes it. However, our older, more dominant cat LOVES it. He'll immediately go there when he's in the garage. This is such a great purchase if you have indoor/outdoor cats or even barn cats. I also love the water-resistant exterior. Great if your little monsters decide to spray.

Our in/outdoor cat loves his outdoor heated house. We just placed a few cat treats in it for a few days and now he spends more time in it than inside our house. We set up a game camera to see how much he was using it and found that he is enjoying it all night but still does his patrols every few hours. Great to know he is warm and has some protection on nights he does not come inside to sleep. Would definitely recommend this product it is well made and durable. Worth every dollar.

After I remodeled my front porch one of the abandon cats decided that I must’ve done it for him and he moved onto my porch. I had a temporary shelter for him but knowing that the cold nights were coming I decided to get him a house. So now this 16-year-old abandon cat lounges in his heated house day and night. He comes out for attention and for food but otherwise is happily retired in his K&H heated house. One note Whisker’s body is exactly the same length as this house so if you have a larger cat this house may not be big enough.

I ordered this heated cat house for my barn cat. I plugged it in inside to test it, and my house cat immediately curled up inside for a nap. The barn cat, however, doesn't seem interested. He prefers his straw bed. I plan to clean the house up and bring it back in for the inside cat since he seemed so fond of it. The heating system works very well, heating up only when it senses a cat inside. The fleece cushion is warm and soft, and the house itself is nice-looking and has a sturdy construction.

I have bought it for the stray cat whom I have been feeding for the past couple of years. He was ignoring it at first which made me very disappointed. Then I started putting his food inside of it and it worked! He has realized how nice it actually is. Now I see him resting in it whenever it's too cold for him (her? still not sure) to be roaming around. He has no interest in getting into my house and doesn't let me approach him any closer than a few yards so I assume he is feral.

This is exactly what I wanted..... note this product needs to have some shelter over it such as a porch, shed, barn and needs the source of an electrical outlet which are two things I have. The kitty I'm trying to attract is very skittish and has not used the house yet but I'm hoping he will and I wanted to have something ready for him on the porch. He's eating his food right at the door of it and I'm guessing as soon as it is cold enough he will explore it and possibly use it. If he doesn't I have alternate plans for it.
