Read reviews regarding this house. Based on them, I bought it for our feral cat that lives on our porch. Thought she deserved an upgrade.  It seems very sturdy, like the little porch and the fact that she doesnt have to lay directly in front of the door, she can go further in and to the side. More protection from our harsh weather. We put a layer of straw, blanket,  cat bed, blanket and more straw. She seems very cozy in there. Her boyfriend took over her old house. In the summer she suns on the roof.
