Will this work outdoors in a cat shelter?

I would assume it would. It's just like laying down a mat or something similar. You might need to attach it though as it is light weight.

Yes it will! As a matter of fact, I found out about the Purr Padd while researching a design for an outdoor kitty shelter. And earlier this week I built a shelter with the cat pad inside, and this morning one of the neighborhood kitties came out of it to get food!

I would think so...the material is all synthetic. It looks similar to a heavy large vacuum cleaner air filter.

Yes I do. IT lacks weight for high winds and still manages to loose a little color in the sun. But my cats love it. I placed it under my porch because of wind hazards in my area. I thought it would be too small. But it seems to work just fine. Also, it's easy to add a heat mat to it if ever needed. They velcro and zip together. I would recommend adding your own straps of velcro above the doors and adding a little bit of felt/vinyl strips to help keep wind from cooling the inside too much.

Hello Bryan Paul I would say no because it is not weather treated and may warp and not be sturdy. After a blowing rain if you do just for when,you need it not to be left out there cats like to scratch and Sun warping might happen

I didn't see where you live, but I would suggest sliding the tube up against a bench in such a way that the cat can approach the entrance from under the bench. While the awning does a pretty good job of keeping out the rain/snow this would give some further protection from the wind. My feral cat also likes laying on the bench. This is by far the best product I've seen/used.

It depends on the cat. A real feral cat might want to see what might be approaching. Try facing the Tube away from the wind or putting it in a sheltered spot. I think as long as there is a good escape path the barrier would be fine. Good luck

It should. For three days leave your cat in (1) one room w/litter, food and water. The 'friend' will get the message.My cat too was originally an outside cat.

Yes. We have two tents and some tunnels and have them set up individually to keep two cats separated while outside.

I use mine outside for feral cats and they love it. I had put some catnip on it in the beginning to attract them which worked immediately. The cat lies directly on the pad which picks up the body heat. As long as the cat lays on it it stays warm. Mine love it and also a blue one that's a bit larger from another manufacturer. It's listed on Amazon as well. It works the same way but it's a little bit bigger and plushier.

Yes it will unless the cat is very determined to get in, he can chew through the netting. This netting is pretty thick unlike the bird netting you'll find at your hardware store, so it is not as flexible as those. I cover my my entire grow boxes with this net held on with zip ties on a 1" PVC frame. It filters out some sunlight which is a good thing for me in Hawaii but it keeps out some pests including cats and flying insects. Hope this helps.

Of course with anything, you would want to keep it covered (i.e. tarp, an awning etc), however, I bought this for my friend who had a stray cat, and the cat was extremely happy all winter long. I have had my own for several years now for my stray cats (I keep it under an awning) and my strays have been happy year after year.

The net is not that strong. I would not trust it to keep a cat inside. Cats could also use their paws to possibly climb the netting.

I wouldn't trust that because its pliable. It can be staked to the ground but if you have a cat determined to make an escape they probably could if you left it unzipped with cat door access

No. I wouldn't put the scratching post outside. If you had a person handy with tools perhaps a post could be made by putting a 40" log on a large base for the cats to stretch and scratch on.

I would say yes, but you must be sure it won't get wet. You can buy another type more intended for outside weather that is safer in case water gets on it. The Thermo-Kitty turns fully on when the cat gets on it, my cats live on them, love them.

I would think it's too tall and there'd be little room for the cat to maneuver with it in there. I have it sitting right outside.

I think it would be perfect for your dog. I have this size for outdoor cats and four of them spend the winter using them for shelter. You do have to watch during rain though. They rather easily get wet inside. I keep mine under the deck table to overcome this.

It will hold two cats. It is cute but mine is in the garage for a sick chicken. I doubt you would get more than a couple of years outdoors. IKeep it from the elements would be best.
