Outdoor Insulated Cat House with Pillow - The Kitty Tube

Marilyn L.Marilyn L.: I’ve had this kitty house for a couple of years and once the weather gets cold, my barn cats start using it again. I’ve always wrapped the included cushion in something just so it was easier to keep clean. I just decided to wash it before winter. It is described as washable after all. It’s NOT. As shown in the picture, the cushion inside seems to have come apart. Just lots of lumps. Until I can open a seam and see what’s wrong, the kitty tube is full of straw which they like anyway.

Sally: I bought two of these kitty tubes last October for the ferals in my area. I keep them in my garage, sitting up on a table with steps going up. That way they can feel safe and out of harm's way. I keep the heating pads on all the time throughout the winter and they are plenty warm. I don't know if I kept them outside how warm they'd be, but in the garage it's perfect. I keep the back door open just far enough for them to come and go.

Dinah Lamunyon: I received my Kitty Tube with double insulation this morning. I just finished putting it together. It took about 2 hours due to very bad instructions, and difficulty in putting pieces together. Be aware that this comes intact without the accessories installed but they don't tell you that you have to take completely apart to install the door opening, etc. This is where it gets hard. Parts don't fit together as easily as they show on the video. You definitely need some strength. Just throw your instruction away that comes with the package & go directly to their site & watch a video of assembly. I ended up with several cuts & scrapes on my hands from working with the tube to get everything to go together. Once, you remove all the interior parts, they expand & don't easily fit back in. Be careful because the lid is prone to warping also. I did finally get it together after going back & forth to my computer & reviewing every little step. I would suggest that you really need 2 people to put this together properly. The guy on the video makes it look really easy. I wish! I suspect that after taking apart several million of these items, he has it down pat but don't...

Claire B.: I have never written a review for a product previously, but this time I felt compelled to do so. This product is the single most well-designed cat accessory I have ever encountered. Every detail is designed to perfection. I can't think of a single thing that could be done better or differently. I have inherited a mother and two kittens that will, unfortunately, have to stay outdoors on my property because my indoor cats won't accept them. The very first day I put this cat tube together and put it outdoors, we had a heavy rain . The cats all found the tube and stayed inside - warm and dry throughout. When the time comes for me to install the outdoor heating pad, I will easily remove the "cap" on the hole for the cord and it will become a four-season house for the cats.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who would like to keep their outdoor felines safe, warm and dry. I am going to put it on a shelf with an awning, to keep the snow below the opening, and so I'll have a place to feed the cats this winter. Kudos to the designer of this incredible product!

Alexa, where's my stuff?: Okay, maybe I wouldn't live in it if I could. But you know what I mean, right?

I've had this hut for about 5 or 6 years. I normally don't wait to review a product but back then, I couldn't be bothered so here I am, six years later.

I have all indoor cats. I have 6 ft high, freestanding chain link dog kennel panels enclosing my concrete patio. The patio is their only "outdoor" space. One climbs the fence, so he's not even allowed out. One is afraid of the air movement when she walks, so she WON'T go out. My third kitty respects the fence and love, love, loves her outdoor time -- and that includes this hut. She bounds out the door, looks around, rolls on the concrete, watches the birds and does all that important cat stuff that has to be done every day. Then she retires to her hut and naps for several hours before coming out and scratching at the door to be let back in for a snack or a meal. To say she loves it is to understate it. It is her go-to place and so I love it too.

The patio is on the southwestern side of the house. We live in western New York and, during the winter, we can have some pretty wild torms due to the Great Lakes having their effect on the...
