When dealing with ferals, you can't always be sure that they'll accept shelter. When I saw the Kitty Tube on-line, I knew immediately that our feral would use it. She's very wary as most ferals are. We're talking about a cat who lived under a shed in a ground hog hole for years. It took about 2 weeks for her to come close enough to it to inspect it and we started to put her food in it so she could see how cozy it was inside. She would go in far enough to eat her food, but would not go all the way in. We set it up on our side deck with the door of the Kitty Tube facing in the direction where she could see who was approaching when inside, and then we just waited....Today I walked up to our deck, and I could see that our little feral kitty was curled up inside the Kitty Tube sound asleep. She heard me approach, but because I knew she was inside the Kitty Tube, I was very quiet. She lifted her head up, saw it was me, and went back to sleep. Here in the NE, it's getting pretty cold at night now, so I'm very happy she has a well insulated home to curl up in and be warm. We put the straw down and a fleece blanket over the straw. She's all set. We added a waterproof piece of wood over the top of the house as extra protection from rain and weather. But that's just our preference. All in all I feel that this has worked out very well. It seems to me that most cats would accept this as shelter and be very well protected. There's something very 'cat friendly' about the design and we're thrilled with the outcome.

I decided to give my outdoor cat a better home, and this product seemed to fit the bill: insulated, comfortable and best of all designed to help keep predators out.

The cat house arrived fairly quickly and in good shape. There is an insulated insert that can be optionally removed: with the insert installed the headroom is cut by a few inches inside the house. I live in a moderate climate so I imagine I'll leave the insert out most of the time, only putting it in during the coldest months.

My cat took to the house immediately and sleeps there every night, which is of course the biggest thing: if the cat didn't like it, then it wouldn't have been a good purchase! My cat is fairly picky so I consider this very successful.

Overall the cat house construction & materials are excellent. I have no complaints about this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solution like this.

Best Deals for The Kitty Tube - Outdoor Insulated Cat House - Feral Option

I had pretty high expectations for this product based on what others have written. It did ship quickly and first impressions were good. It is a well-constructed product and well insulated. However it does leak.

I purchased the one that comes with straw. After a steady rain one night the bottom of the tube had a substantial amount of water in it and the straw was soaked. I did have the opening turned close to the house as others have recommended. I don't know if water seeps in around where the top meets the bottom piece or what. I had to take everything apart and pull out the insulation to completely dry it out. I have since covered the top with plastic and built a little "awning" piece for over the door. That solved the leaking problem.

Otherwise, the cats do use it (after it was dried out). We will see how they like it during the colder winter months.

Honest reviews on The Kitty Tube - Outdoor Insulated Cat House - Feral Option

I placed these cat houses under my deck so the rain water wouldn't get in. I have 3 of these houses and all 3 are being used by the feral cats who come into my yard. This is a great product. More than one cat sleep in each house.

I can not say enough about how much I love this cat house. I was very skeptical about purchasing this for our two feral cats but was desperate to find something that would keep them safe and warm. I thought the shipping fees were excessive and almost let that kill the deal. Thankfully I didn't. The first couple of nights neither cat would go in the house. They walked by but refused to enter. We even bought cat nip to entice them to no avail. We decided to take the lid off and let them adapt slowly. That worked! On the fifth night as temperatures were starting to reach the freezing point here in the midwest, we looked out the window and to our delight they were both curled up in the straw with the lid off sleeping. The next day we put the lid on and hoped they would still go in. As night fell along with the temperature, in they went. I think this is the best outdoor cat house on the market. I have researched every cat house that I could find both on the internet as well as every walk in pet store and this is by far THE BEST. It is well designed, constructed and manufactured. Did I mention made in the USA. Worth every penny and to be quite honest if I knew before that they would use it, I would have paid more! I do not usually write opinions but I wanted to get the word out that there is a solution for all cat lovers. Also, the fox that has been terrorizing my adopted extended family can move on. My cats now have a safe house. Thank you Kitty Tube.
