Weather is what ruins a wooden cat house, so this one deals with it at both ends. The roof is tilted and finished in asphalt, shedding rain quickly instead of letting it pool on a flat top, and elevated legs lift the whole structure off the ground so the base stays dry rather than wicking up damp from grass or paving. Between the two, the interior stays usable through a wet week.The doorway is covered by a heat-insulated PVC curtain across a 7 by 10 inch opening. It hangs rather than latches, so a cat pushes through freely while the curtain falls back to block drafts, and the house stays ventilated instead of sealed shut.Inside and above, the layout suits a cat that likes height. The lower level is a private cat condo where a cat sleeps undisturbed, and two jumping platforms climb to a spacious 13 by 13 inch balcony, giving somewhere to nap in the open and overlook the distance. That platform is rated to 33 pounds, and guardrails run along the balcony edge to prevent an accidental fall from a cat that rolls in its sleep.The timber is high quality fir wood, solid and anti-crack, carrying the natural smell of real wood rather than a chemical finish. Maintenance runs through a removable floor that lifts straight out, so cleaning never means reaching in through the door. Standing 23 by 20 by 34 inches at 18 pounds in red and white, its stylish condo appearance works indoor and out.
