How To Find The Best Outdoor Cat Houses
Outdoor houses are a very practical solution to the shelter that you don’t have in your backyard. They give your cats a place of their own that is out of the elements and away from people. You can keep them warm on those chilling winter nights and enjoy a nice, warm shelter that they can call their own. There are a few things that you should keep in mind when it comes to outdoor cats.
First of all, outdoor houses for your cats should be portable. This means that they can be moved from one end of the back yard to another with only a little effort. It is usually not a very big deal to pack them up and take them somewhere else. However, you should make sure that the shelters that you get are really made to be portable and that they can be assembled easily when the weather is bad.
If the shelter is going to be left outdoors all year around, then you will need it to be both durable and weather resistant. Many of the cheaper outdoor houses that are out there are not really very weather resistant at all. They are often just a one way investment that you really don’t need.
You will want to look for outdoor houses that are durable because this outdoor cat house will be used by your cats as a sleeping area at night. They will need a very comfortable place to get the rest that they need and that means that they need a nice, warm and weather-resistant shelter. Most cats won’t use anything else if their sleeping quarters aren’t comfortable. You want to avoid anything that is going to make their sleep more uncomfortable.
Then, if you want a one cat house that is more of a cat play house, you will need something that is much more durable. These will also tend to be much more expensive, but they will last much longer than some of the cheaper ones. It is important to think about the cost versus the durability. The cheaper ones are probably going to fall apart within a year or two if they are not taken care of properly. The better ones will last for many years before you even have to worry about them needing to be repaired.
Weather-resistant outdoor cat houses are very popular, so you may want to consider one of these if you live in an area that is prone to bad weather. These houses are usually made from metal and the wood may be finished with a finish to protect it from the rain and snow. Many cats will enjoy these houses, especially if you have one of these close by because it will keep them warm and safe. Some of these will even come with a cover, so that the rain and snow will not harm your cat.
There are outdoor houses that come with the basic kit and there are those that you will have to assemble. If you have a good set of instructions that come with the kit, you can assemble these yourself. If you are not sure how to put the roof on or the assembly of the walls, you can use a friend’s handy man to help you with this part of the project. You will want to pre-drill all of the pre-made holes for the screws and have the roof assembled when you are ready to put it together.
Most of the pre-made houses will also come with the necessary hardware to put them together, but you can usually buy those separately. It is a good idea to buy several pieces because you may get tired of putting the pieces together at some point. You can either use the house you bought as an example when you are making your own shelter or you can make your own shelters for the feral cats living in your neighborhood. If you decide to make your own shelter, you might as well purchase some cat furniture so that your cats will have a place to call their own.
