A Luxurious Cat House

This "cat house" was custom built for a wonderful stray cat and his friend.
It was initially built in a workshop like an erector set, so it could be taken apart easily, transported, and reassembled. The overall size of the house is 4' X 4' X 4'.
Another house, previously built was 4X4X8'tall (with electric heat for the winter), so a human could walk in, and check things out.


1" Foam    Insulated with 1" foam, then reflective insulation, and small window so he could see out.
reflective insulation, on top of the 1" foam. The side entrance is entered via a covered walkway.
escape tunnell   is the floor escape tunnell in case of intruder. The window is for keeping an eye on things, from multiple cat perches inside.
finished cat house  was placed in a secluded wooded area. Raised on blocks to allow for escape hatch exit.
