wood cat house

Options range from indoor furniture-style pieces—like litter enclosures, cabinets, or bookshelf-style cat furniture—to large outdoor catios and weatherproof insulated shelters designed for outdoor use.

Outdoor wooden shelters commonly include multi-sided foam insulation, slanted or waterproof roofs, raised bases to keep floors dry, PVC door curtains, and in some units a waterproof heating pad.

Enclosed litter furniture often uses a private cabinet to contain odors, rear ventilation holes or airflow features to control smell, and removable components (for example a detachable scratcher) that collect stray litter and are easy to clean.

Several designs include elevated legs or raised bottoms (for example an 8" ground clearance) to reduce moisture, keep small animals away, and improve ventilation underneath the shelter.

Outdoor enclosures often include large doors that open wide for human entry and openable roofs or hinged tops to reach the interior for cleaning, adding bedding, or performing maintenance.
