Petmate Dog House with Microban, Indigo Taupe/Black, Medium

I adopted a cat a few months ago who had lived outside, on his own, for years (maybe always), so he's a pretty independent fellow. But he came to my house and let me know that he wanted to live with me. He was a real charmer, and we bonded quickly, so after he received a clean bill of health and vaccinations from my vet (he was already neutered), I brought him inside. He loved indoor living--comfy beds, regular meals, toys, cat trees, companionship--but he still wanted to spend time outside. I resisted, he persisted, and he won. And I don't worry as much as I thought I would because he is so happy being an indoor-outdoor cat. But I wanted him to have a safe, dry place in the back yard in the event of a sudden storm, or if he insists on being outside in very cold weather. I've used igloos before for stray cats and dogs while I searched for homes for them, and they're the best, much better than cheaply made wooden houses, which are cute but don't hold up well in rain and snow, and often leak. Igloos are rainproof, don't rot or warp, are sturdy, and are easy to keep clean. My last one even survived a severe hail storm that would have left most cat houses in splinters. So I ordered my cat's new vacation home, and set it up in a shady spot on the patio, with the entrance facing the wall of the house to protect the interior from wind and rain. I added a summer bed (also have a cozy bed for cold weather), and my boy loves it. He takes naps inside, and when it's very hot, he goes into the igloo to cool off. We had a sudden tropical rainstorm recently and the igloo stayed completely dry. I highly recommend it for cats, as well as dogs.

i can use it for my outdoor critters, not just my dog or cat!!
