LEAKY ROOF: This house is not waterproof. For a while i kept thinking it was getting wet inside because rain was blowing into the open doorway. I finally got it to stay put with the doorway under our front porch roof and it *still* got wet inside. then I examined it and realized that where the roof attaches to the base, it does not fully cover the base but rather lines up roof plastic side by side with bottom plastic, leaving a tiny slit. (see in the photo at the part where it clicks together). Water must be running off the roof and seeping into the house through the cracks there. So the bedding kept getting wet and i kept having to wash and dry it. Tomorrow I will buy some calking and calk those cracks. that should take care of it. but that's a really poor design for an otherwise pretty good house. It is for this leaky roof that i'm giving it a single star. i wish i'd figured out the problem a few months ago. it's been a very rainy winter here this year.

I bought this for a stray cat, the extra-small size and put a bed in there for him. He likes it and sleeps in it in cold weather but as i mentioned in the rain it's not so good. the plastic is cold so a bed is a definite must for whatever animal might use it. Even this extra-small house is a little big for cat, but with the big fluffy bed in there it's acceptable. and it was way cheaper than the "cat houses" i found.

Update: i've now calked the joints with silicone. seems to have done the trick.

I bought this house for our three feral cats that redid fly adopted our family. As the weather turned cold, I was worried they would have a hard time staying warm and dry. I purchased this house yesterday at a local store (Tractor Supply) for less than it is listed here (40$).

The momma cat took to it immediately and the babies soon followed. As the other reviewer stated, this house will leak if it is left in the elements. I have ours placed next to the house on a covered porch so I am not worried about this.

I do plan to add a door and a kennel heating pad in it as the weather continues to get cooler.
