Oh we do spoil our pets, but we simply love them!!As soon as this huge box (55x83x19cm) entered the house, it seemed as though the cat knew it was for her!! After sniffing, purring and inspecting the box she came over and started licking my feet.Now I bought this with the intention of mounting it in the winter house, yet to no avail.... the cat would go back and forth indicating that she wanted her new hideout mounted immediately. If only I had a charged video camera I would post it... it really seemed so unbelievable.To cut a long story short, I was on the floor trying to mount this "cat house lodge" .... purring, rubbing and licking of my cat made it difficult.The instructions are well laid out,

I have had this now for 18 months and other than a little fading it is still as good as they day I got it.We moved from a flat to a house and our indoor cats became outdoor cats. We couldn't just let them run around without some shelter when we were at work so after some advice from friends looked into cat houses. Although on the small side it still big enough for 2 cats to jump into should they want. However my cats tend to use it as a roof to sit on and as a step up to the kitchen window. I was surprised how expensive cat houses can be but feel that this one represents good value particularly having left it outside now for 18 months with no treatment or care.

I love it but it my cats are not so keen. With new things I can tell if they will love them because they will be straight in there but with this they just did not show any interest. They are using it now (took a few weeks) but still do not use the indoors part, only the roof and the verandah. Although I love this product, I have only given 4 stars because I really feel that the cat flap opening is too small and would be better if the entrance hole was larger or if I could take the flap off (but I cannot see how to do that). However, the quality is excellent, the packaging perfect, and the instructions very easy to follow. My cats do shelter from the rain by sitting up on the verandah but as they will not use the 'den'

Pitched for this Kerbl cat house after shopping around. On delivery and opening the box, found one roof end piece split in half and the other half screwed in and loose.No damage to the packaging so looks like the screws had been screwed in too tight and split the wood.Checked the rest of the pack and all seemed to be in order.Considered packing it all back up and sending it back for a replacement, as it is quite annoying to spend this kind of money on an item only to find the QC at production has been somewhat slack.However, like some others on here, was less hassle to do a quick repair job on the damaged piece than send the whole lot back and wait for a new one.Took the advice of others on

We've just had a catio built to give our indoor cats some safe outside time and we ordered this to add a bit of interest for them, extra climbing and shelter.I had looked around on the net and was stunned at the prices for outdoor climbing frames and houses. To be honest, having looked around and seeing the price of this one, I wasn't really expecting much, but we are always willing to adapt things a little to make them safe and more user friendly so I went ahead and purchased. well I was extremely surprised as it arrived very quickly, was well packaged, and although it needed a little assembly it was just perfect. Already stained and very qgood quality. No sharp bits and looked very sturdy.

Beautifully made and very good value for money. To be truly weather proof though my Husband has spent the last weeks (and still not finished), treating the wood with preserver, putting on a printer undercoat and top coat. Then sealing and trimming the sealant. He will (when dry) put it back together hoping it will last longer in the garden. Where the lattice sit in the rails there are gaps that water will sit in and rot the wood. He has done his best by sealing to stop this. Looks great and when the cat finally gets it, it will be perfect for her. An alternative to her Kaiden where she can sit in some shade without being enclosed in and still have an alternative place to sleep,

I've always dreamed of this house for my cats, and i've been lucky enough to buy it with an amazon deal around £35.It was a bit long to built but simple with the instructions.The house is now outside near the garden door. My cats go under the roof when its rainning or even to have a nap. They always wait here when they want to come back inside. They also use the roof to reach the window so that i can see they want to get back in.Cant fit 2 cats under the roof (my cats are big, but with small cat its possible.They dont use the closed part at the bottom of the house. The hole is too small for them i think...I love this house, but i wouldnt have spent £70 for it, Glad i got a deal.

I was really surprised by the quality of this item. I thought it would be cheap & cheerful at this price. I was wrong! This is made from quality wood, built to last, and it even had roofing felt on!It was simple to put together, everything fit perfectly and there were even spare screws for every fitting. It looks too good to put in the garden, I hadn't realised it was meant for outdoors (hence the roofing felt)'so I have it indoors, where it looks fine.Left outside it would still last for years and years.I am really pleased with this, an absolute bargain. Thinking of getting another one. Cats love it. The balcony is a real hit.Worth every penny.

Only had it for a day so far...All round I'd say it's pretty good. It smells of wood preservative when it comes. So I wouldn't recommend it for indoor use unless you can stick it outside for a few days.I wondered if I'd need any wood glue or anything when it arrived, but I was pleasantly surprise to find it only needed a pozi drive (x head) to put it together. It took about an hour to assemble, but that was only because I was watching TV and doing some other bits.It's study and easy to put together. A little on the small side I think. My cats are medium, and it's smallish for them. Though they're very interested so far.4 out of 10 I'd say.

Ok it looks completely ridiculous and over the top, but the cats love it!! Put it into their cat pen so they had more to do and see in there and they cannot get enough.The large cat cannot get into the bottom, but that is OK as he sits on the veranda or the roof while the little one just goes everywhere. I would recommend getting some treatment oil to keep it like new, but super simple to put together and robust enough for cats climbing all over it.I bought this one as it is made of quality materials and I like the Perspex front on the flap so they can see what is in there before fighting over the enclosure.

We bought this cat lodge a few months ago when it was on a lightning deal. It is very good quality and holds together very well. Our cats were slightly sceptical of it at first and would only sit on the roof instead. After plying them with treats, we managed to get them to use both the balcony and the lower area (though we did have to take the glass out of the door as both preferred going through the gap instead of pushing the flap). They tend to only use it in the summer (and I don’t blame them) and enjoy sleeping on the balcony in the sun. I have even caught a neighbourhood cat sleeping on it!

I had been thinking of building some form of cart shelter for my two cats for a while and was getting ready to get the materials when my wife showed me this product. After calculating that by the time I got all the items I need, the cost wouldn't be that much different to buying this item and thus we bought it.It's brilliant, it sits nicely and stands at about waist height which is high enough I think and the cats are beginning to take to it although trying to get them in the bottom half is proving to be a bit of a task but that's down to the cards not the product.

Very straightforward to assemble and a nice touch [that should be standard with all self assembly kit] is including an extra screw/bolt for each variety of fixing in case you drop and lose one. Very well made and sturdy.Bottom section with cat flap is not ideal for bigger moggies and I prop flap open as interior space is limited for it to be able to close properly.Cats are still getting used to it, but will shelter in it when it's raining - which was the point of us getting it.Good value for money as it only cost £30-ish.

Love this so much. My sister and I enjoyed doing some DIY and we were so determined to doing it without out dad. The instructions were decent but like all instructions these days, more pictures than words. We only had a minor hiccup as we contracted it, realised the manufacturers messed up the lining of one of the parts and because we were so excited to set it up, we just pulled it apart and realigning it. The cat loves it and helps her be more confident outside. She even braves the rain because she has her little outhouse.

This is a really great product and was very easy to put together.My only criticism is that because the cat flap style door is level withthe floor you can't put any kind of bedding down other than to theright of the door. Otherwise it blocks the flap from opening. With alarger cat, bedding on the right isn't big enough for them. I intend tofix this myself by moving the door upwards which will be quite easyto do. However, it would be better if the manufacturer did this, in whichcase I'd have given the product 5 stars.
