I would not recommend this for outdoor use. I actually have one in a homemade insulated "house" that is under a barn shelter - intended for feral cats. They do not seem to use it that much. Certainly it must not be in a wet environment. They do use a K&H; extreme weather pad (in an old doghouse which is uninsulated).

I use as is in my yard and I do have a neighbor stray cat. It has never climbed on it. I don't know if that helps because I'm not sure what the reason is behind your question.

I would say no. It doesn't seal very well and my inside cat can get the doors open. It also doesn't say that it's weather proof and the plug is metal so it would probably rust fairly easy.

I don't know if i can or not? I would think that as long as it is "under cover" being not out in the open where rain could hit it. It would be OK. You just don't want it out in the open in the elements where water could hit it and electrocute an animal sleeping on it. I have it in the garage where my cat sleeps on it during the winter. She likes the garage over the house to sleep and loves it to keep her warm. It's just in her bed and she sleeps on top of it.

No, the cord is for indoors. My cats love them! I wish now I would have gotten them sooner. Now, if you could add an outdoor extension cord and the cord that is attached does not get wet, then it could work outdoors. Again, you have to make sure it dos not come into contact with any water.

I use it outside to keep the cats away. It will keep all strays away. It works well outside, and it also works in the rain.

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.

Absolutely, this is not an outdoor bed. It is for indoor use only. The bed has a heating pad that is activated when the cat lays in it, and warms enough to make them cozy. My cat is hard to get out of this bed, but I would never put it outside for him. They do have other beds that can be used outside and they are waterproof. I don't think this one is, in any case I wouldn't trust it to be.

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.

Chances are it will fall off. I would not use it outdoors unless the cat is kept to a certain area so you can find the camera easily. I would also advise keeping your cat indoors. Recent studies have that free ranging cats kill3.7 billion birds annually. The government is adopting a catch and euthanize policy for free ranging cats.

Yes! I am using it indoors (carpeted basement) right now and all my cats and kittens love it. the house is perfectly safe for indoor use.

Yes you can. Purchase the deck kittywalk if it is going on a concrete or other hard surface. When you assemble the kittywalk, just leave off the "door" on the end you want to put next to the cat door. You can make the kitty walk as long or as short as you want. I would suggest using some kind of strapping tape or something like that to make sure it stays up against the door. Also, you should check the kittywalk often for holes in the net. My cat likes to chew on it until he can escape. My cat loves it and would sit outside all day if he had a door to the outside!!! I say go for it. Yes you can.

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

My husband has used it around cows, so I would think cats would be ok. I'm not sure I would put it in my house, maybe in the entrance way?

I have rolled mine onto a screened-in porch with outside access and removed the doors for the original two kittens, and now four new kittens to use. They like playing in and out of it and find it a safe place to go to. Since there is no covering, it would not, in my opinion, be an option for outdoor or yard use with doors closed. It is not made to be weather proof.
