This appears to primarily be made for dogs, but I got it for a family of stray cats that adopted me some years ago, and sleep on my patio.    They have a nice shelter for winter, but it's too warm to say within there during hot weather.    It took a day for the mother and her three children to get used to the covered cooling cot, but now they are lounging on it all the time, getting air movement from the sides, but shelter from the hot sun overhead.    I bought two, thinking one would not be large enough, but it turns out to be roomy for the whole crew.   I'm giving the second one to a friend who has a 25 pound pooch.
