Gorgeous Two-Story Cat House with a Roof… This One’s Too Darn Cute!

January 30, 2021 By Joi

In addition to our much loved inside cats, we have a healthy number of much loved outside cats (good thing we live in a rural area!). There are several feral cat families in our area I feed and look after (I even name every single one of them and know when I haven’t seen one in a day or two).

Since we live in the “country,” we also get occasional “drop off” cats (I could ring people’s necks that drop off animals to fend for themselves). Some of the drop offs and some of the ferals that I’m able to win over, actually move onto our carport and patio.

One of my sons-in-law has built three different large houses for them – they use them year-round but are especially thankful for them in the winter… probably because we heat them during the cold months.

If you don’t have someone in your family who is both an animal lover and happens to be gifted with woodworking, this gorgeous Two Story Cat House with a Roof (Amazon link to the house) is just what you’re outside cat(s) need!

The last time I looked at this gorgeous house, there was even a coupon for $10 off!

 

Product Details:

  • MULTI-TIER DESIGN: Your cats will love this covered elevated cat house with a roof that brings exciting new options for sleep, play, and protection. This cat condo includes a lounging patio, enclosed house area, and stairs.
  • DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: Made of high-quality fir wood coated with a water-resistant roof finish, this indoor or outdoor cat shelter provides long lasting durability.
  • RAISED PLATFORM HOUSE: The raised floor of this house helps keep out some insects, other animals, and helps avoid trapped moisture under the structure. The space under the outdoor cat shelter can also be used for storage if needed.
  • MULTIPLE LOUNGER OPTIONS: This backyard cat tree-house gives your pet the option to choose between several cat lounge areas including a balcony with railings.
  • PROMOTES PLAY: Premium design multi-level tree house promotes your cat’s natural desire to hunt and play while saving your furniture and flower beds from abuse.

See Two Story Cat House with a Roof (Amazon link) for more information and, if you decide to buy one for your cat(s), don’t forget to click the $10 off coupon.

Cat House with Scratcher and the Always Irresistible Catnip!

February 27, 2020 By Joi

This adorable Cat House with Scratcher (it has a scratching board interior) and Bonus Catinip is one of the cutest things I’ve seen in awhile. Well, not counting the husband, kids, grandbabies, and (of course) cats.

I love buying these types of houses for our cats every now and then (they’re so inexpensive buying them frequently is no problem) – they love it even more than I do. They have so much fun exploring, scratching, and hiding from one another.

As soon as I saw this one, I threw it right into the Amazon cart without a second thought.

It’s just too cute!

 

  • Cats love this pet bed house. Interior den-like hiding space for napping promotes nesting instinct. Promotes Paw health: The scratching motion of their feet keeps their paws healthy and strong, especially important to kittens, Adult and active pets
  • Catnip included: sprinkle some organic catnip on the cardboard while introducing the pad to a cat to entice your cats to scratch
  • Keep cats entertained and off of furniture. Easy to assemble all instructions and parts Included
  • Size: 19. 5x14x11 inches. Love it or money back

At $15, this Cat House with Scratcher (Amazon link) is a MUST HAVE!

ADORABLE and Very Affordable Cat House from ASPCA

February 3, 2020 By Joi

How adorable is this little cat house (Amazon link)? I love the designs on the sides (and the too cute for its own good chimney).

I’ve always looked, first of all, at the safety of cat furniture. This is most definitely safe. Then, I look at how much I think my cats will enjoy (and use) the furniture in question. I can easily see all of my cats enjoying this adorable little house. While it wouldn’t be sturdy enough for my outside cats, I definitely plan to get several (it’s a great price) for my inside babies.

Last of all, I do consider how it will look in the home. While it is most certainly not something that would make or break the deal (after all, I care more about my cats’ happiness and entertainment than I do decor), I do love it when cat furniture is cute and attractive.

This cat house certainly is that!

I also love that the “floor” is a scratching board – we all know how much cats love to scratch!

I had just been looking at a cardboard type house for cats on Amazon that was 5 times as much as this one is. Given that cats are tiny toddlers in fur, I didn’t want to pay so much for something that would probably not last two months, so I kept looking. Not only is this cat house (Amazon link) cuter and less expensive, it takes up less space – so, if you have more than one cat, you can buy however many you need.

After all, each furry baby likes having their very own space.

Details

  • ASPCA 2 in 1 cat house with scratching Board interior. Private place for your cat to rest and play
  • Cats love this pet bed house. Interior den-like hiding space for napping promotes nesting instinct. Promotes Paw health: The scratching motion of their feet keeps their paws healthy and strong, especially important to kittens, Adult and active pets
  • Catnip included: sprinkle some organic catnip on the cardboard while introducing the pad to a cat to entice your cats to scratch
  • Keep cats entertained and off of furniture. Easy to assemble all instructions and parts Included
  • Size: 19. 5x14x11 inches. Love it or money back

Gorgeous Gray Cat Bed (LOVE THIS!)

September 16, 2019 By Joi

I have recently become infatuated with the color gray (grey.. whichever spelling you prefer!). There’s just something kind of “ritzy” and sophisticated about it. Furniture, walls, towels,dishes… you name it, I suddenly want it to be gray!

So you can imagine my goggle-eyed reaction when I saw this handsome Gray and White Cat Bed/House on Amazon earlier. I had one cat in my lap and one on my computer desk and I told them both, “This one’s going into the cart!”

They acted like they cared, but since it didn’t involve tuna, their reaction was very low-key.

Description

  • Cozy nap pad and private cat lair in one – and it sets up in seconds!
  • Fabric side walls create a sturdy perch for your cat, yet fold flat for storage
  • A cushy polyester pillow and a fleece base mat are removable and washing machine safe
  • Easy to assemble, easy to stow, and designed to perfectly stack in sets of two
  • Size: 16.5 W x 16.5 L x 19.25 H. Include 1 cube, 1 top cushion, and 1 fur fleece mat.

Double-Decker Cat Tree and Tree House

August 17, 2017 By Joi

The great-looking FurHaven Double-Decker Cat Tree pictured above is everything I love about a cat tree – it’s beautiful, provides plenty of fascinating things to keep a cat’s interest, and (best of all) is extra sturdy and safe.

The tower is covered with soft, plush fabric and two cat houses (or rooms?) are featured. Kind of like an upstairs and a downstairs.

  • Posts covered with sisal rope for scratching and scratch training – making it a cat tree, 2 cat houses, and multiple scratching posts all in one!
  • Spring ball wand toy, hanging ball, and hanging mouse toy – all of us cat parents know what hits these are with inquisitive cats.

See  FurHaven Double-Decker Cat Tree for more information. This one’s just extra special

Gorgeous Red and White Outdoor Cat Condo

May 25, 2017 By Joi

The beautiful red outdoor cat condo pictured above is probably the next thing I order from Amazon. I just absolutely love it! It’s so cute I think I’d want it in my yard even if I didn’t have outside cats.

Heck, if I could find the right spot, I’d want one for our inside cats as well.

  • Weatherproof cat/small dog house for outdoor use.
  • Fit large cats or small dogs. Inner dimension of the house:27.5″Lx17.5″Wx20″H
  • Easy to assemble with pre-drilled holes.
  • Bottom floor can be removed for easier cleaning,top roof cannot be opened.
  • Ideal shelter for outdoor cats or small dogs.

One of our outdoor cats (a beautiful orange cat named “Rita Hayworth”) loves to hang out on our back deck – in a different spot from the other outside cats. I’m thinking she’d love this crib!

This adorable little home would be ideal for feral cats, too. They’d greatly appreciate the wonderful place to stay dry and safe.

Cat Cave: For the Cat Who Kind Of Just Wants to Get Away from It All

September 22, 2016 By Joi

This morning, I watched a few of my cats enjoying one of their favorite things in the world – a big box! Needless to say, it’s not a box to them, it’s a glorious cat cave.

I’m not sure who found more joy in this playtime, them or me. It occurred to me that it’d be great to have a big box/cat cave for them to enjoy every single day – not just the numbered days that the box will last.

So I headed to Amazon and looked for durable, built to last “cat caves” and, right off the bat, I found the beautiful brown Cat Play Cube Bed, pictured above. No matter what you call it (bed, cave, hide-away…), it’s the ONE thing that matters most to me: Sheer joy for my cats!

Details:

  • Perfect Size: Cat cube is 14″ L X 14″ W X 15″ H; Base board is 14″ L X 14″ W; Quarter circle opening outlet is 8″ L X 8″ W
  • Stable Construction: Lightweight and sturdy construction supports pet sorts of activity, such as running, jumping, hiding, scratching, napping, hanging out inside, sleeping and so on; for some shy pet, they can be hide inside well
  • Premium Quality: Being a great laying place, comfortable cushiony top is super soft for pet to have a nap; Elegant tweed covereing the surface brings kitty enjoyable experience
  • Easy Assembly: Foldable design can be put up together in seconds without any tools. Never occupy too much home space, and collapsible for travel/storage
  • Multifunction: Besides being pet house or hideaway, the condo can be treated as a high-end ottoman for footrest; store some small objects. Brown appearance blends well with room furniture

See Cat Play Cube Bed for a closer look. It’s so beautiful!

Outoor Cat House Keeps Outdoor Cats Warm and Dry

November 10, 2011 By Joi

What’s the best way to keep outdoor cats warm and dry during winter months (and safe and cozy year round)? With their own cat house, of course! The great looking The new and improved Kitty Tube. Fully insulated outdoor cat house., shown here, is the perfect solution.

Winters here in Kentucky can be pretty intense, so keeping our outside cats warm and dry is always a concern. It is of no concern to our inside cat, Alexa, so she has yet to extend them an invitation to join us inside.

The past few days have been not only cool, but extremely windy. This great looking insulated cat house would have been IDEAL. Hannah hates the wind as much as most cats hate rain.  The problem with Hannah is one a lot of cat parents run into, she wants to be close to the spot(s) she’s most familiar with. In her case, it’s the carport.  Her favorite outdoor furniture is there, her dishes are there, and (naturally) that’s where she sees her family the most.

When it gets cooler (and windy), I carry her out to the garage and show her around – trying to entice her into sleeping in there. My husband keeps the door open just enough for them to come and go as they please.  Queen Fatima and Jelly Bean love the garage.  They head for the loft and sleep for hours on end.

Then there’s Hannah.   Yesterday I kept looking out and seeing her hovering by the steps, cursing the wind.  It called for drastic action, so I fashioned a tent over a few outdoor chairs and placed her a blanket on the ground inside her tent. She practically ran inside.  Naturally, this earned her some of her favorite cat treats.

This ingenious cat house would be the answer to our problems.  Read and see for yourself how great it sounds!

Product Features

  • The Kitty Tube provides an economical, safe, and secure home for up to 3 cats. The Kitty Tube’s unique door design will also protect your cat from predators.
  • The Kitty Tube includes a custom, machine washable pet bed on top of the fully insulated floor. The floor, walls, and roof are all insulated with a high quality, high R value insulation. The Kitty Tube will stay cool in the summer, and is ultra warm in the winter. (Style of the custom pet bed may vary.)
  • The built in lifting handles can be adjusted to supply full flow through ventilation for the summer, and can be closed to retain heat in the winter.
  • The Kitty Tube is made from 100% post consumer content, consisting of recylced milk and detergent bottles. The Kitty Tube is an extremely green product, and proudly made in the USA.

If the spoiled inside crew would allow it, needless to say they’d ALL be inside. As it is, our outside cats have their own custom-built wooden homes and penthouses and, yes, they are all equipped with heating pads for the cold months.

We also feed and care for feral cats. Some honor us by following us home and allowing us to give them a forever home and to, more importantly, be their forever family.
