Outdoor cat house: insulating from the cold and the ground

A cat that lives outdoors or spends its days in the garden needs a dry shelter, out of the wind and off the ground. The cold almost never comes through the walls but through the floor: sitting straight on the earth, it draws heat away all night.

So a good house is raised, insulated and just big enough for the cat to warm it alone. That's what sets apart our cat houses for outdoors.

Détail de la matière : fibre de polyester

Raised floor, roof and entrance: the three things that matter

This one is made of polyester fibre. Raised lodge-style house, 54 x 47 x 56 cm — too much space never warms up with your cat's body heat alone, and that's the most common mistake. Check the roof overhang above the entrance and whether it has feet. A compact plastic kennel that comes apart with a more rustic finish works too, as long as the floor is raised off the ground.

Check the floor is raised — direct contact with the ground draws heat away all night
Choose one just big enough to turn around in — this model measures 54 x 47 x 56 cm
Face the entrance away from the prevailing wind, never due north
Line it with straw, which insulates and doesn't freeze, rather than blankets
Check the roof overhang — without it, rain gets in through the opening
Look after the wood: clean with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged damp

Where to set it up, and what to put inside

Against a wall, under cover if possible, with the entrance facing away from the prevailing wind: that's the placement that works. A tarp curtain over the entrance gains you several degrees for next to nothing.

Line it with straw rather than fabric: a wet blanket freezes and makes it colder. And if your cat comes in at night, a outdoor kennels with a simpler design is plenty for the daytime.

One behaviour point to respect: a cat won't readily go into a shelter with only one way out if it knows other cats are prowling around. A second opening, even a small one, completely changes how much an outdoor house gets used in a busy neighbourhood.

FAQ

Is my dog likely to chew it?

The cover stands up to normal claws, but a dog that chews everything out of habit will end up puncturing any mat. If so, put it under a thin blanket for the first few days while it gets used to it.

How do I clean it?

A damp cloth and mild soap are all it takes. It can't go in the washing machine or tumble dryer: the gel pouch won't survive the spin.

Does it need to go in the freezer?

No. The gel inside is activated by pressure and body temperature: you lay it flat, your pet lies on it, and the surface drops a few degrees all by itself. Putting it in the freezer would harden the gel and make it uncomfortable.

How long does it stay cool?

Three to four hours of continuous use, then it recharges by itself in about twenty minutes once your pet has moved off. There's nothing to plug in or recharge.
