My cats adore this heated home! We have indoor cats that like to go outdoors multiple times a day. They often times will seek shelter if it starts to sprinkle, or if it gets too hot for shade, or if they are cold and it’s snowing since we live in Minnesota and winters can be absolutely frigid￼! It’s the most popular spot to find one of our four cats lounging in their little heated home. We simply unplug the heat pad in the summer! We have 3 of these now. Best purchase ever for outdoor cats.
