is it 16 inches inside or outside measurement? is the 16" big enough for a 12 lb average sized cat?

Hello Lisa, what I can tell you is....I bought the bigger one and my cat is the same size as yours and she has enough room for another cat to sit in there with her. I'm sure the 16 in will be a perfect size.

16" is the outside measurement and yes it would be good for an average cat; mine are small and could easily fit in together. However the sorounding wall is not as high or thick as is shown in the picture. (Probably half of that)

It is 16 inches outside. The wall of the bed is about an inch thick so the inside is more like 13-14 inches. But it is big enough for the average 12 lb. cat.

This is big enough for the largest cat. I would say it is even too large. Two cats could cuddle in it.

My hefty 15-pounder fits inside the bed nicely, even when he sleeps stretched out on his back (the sides of the bed act like a cradle). Truthfully, from my cat's perspective, it is all about the heat provided by the pad, and the bed size is of little concern. Even if the bed was smaller, because of the heating pad, I think my cat would still use the bed. I have also noticed that cats seem to prefer sleeping in small, partially enclosed spaces--possibly because it makes them feel secure and protected from predators that may creep up on them while napping.

I have 16 and 20 inch beds. My older 11lb cat likes to sleep in the 16 inch bed even though she seems to over flow it. For a little more money you may want the 20 inch one.

The inside is roughly 18 by 11 inches. Both my cats can cozy in there when they want to.

We never measured it, but it is probably true to dimensions given in description. Two ferals use it, and they seem to like it. The one cat is in it all the time, the other is a wanderer, and stays in it while he waits for his a.m. and p.m. feedings. We did not set it down directly on the ground. It is sitting on some cement blocks, two by two. The awning that you have to attach yourself has enough overhang to protect the openings so the inside doesn't get wet. Blackie and Mixi seem very pleased with it, and I think it's cute.

I must apologize for my previous answer stating it is BIG. This particular model is about right for 2 cats. We have since upgraded to this one, which is nicer and bigger. (imo) ABO Gear Happy Habitat for Indoor Cats

We have a skinny but normal length/height cat and he fits in the 16" with room to spare. I think the 20" would only be needed for a pretty big cat.

Inside: 12 1/2 inches by 11 1/2 inches Outside: 14 1/2 by 13 1/2 I have a fairly large cat and he loves to curl up in the top perch.

The interior of the round perches is 13 1/2 inches. The sides are soft and flexible. I don't know how big a curled up 20 pound cat is, but if you can estimate that, you should be able to determine if your kitty will fit when grown up. The interior of the little "house" is about 14 inches each way inside and about 9 1/2 inches of vertical space.

that seems to be the outside size of the frame. but as far as a cat getting in/out I have one cat that must weigh least 20 lbs and he goes in an out.. as far as depth .. have it mounted on outside 2x4 entry wall and then made a frame to go inside to make it weather proof and "clean" looking. (the lock section on the inside wall ) works great.. don't even seem to have any extra bugs or flies coming in.

My dog is a toy chihuahau 6 lbs...my 18 lb cat does not fit inside, too small. I am at work, so not sure of the measurements. I can respond tomorrow when I get the measurements. I do love this stroller and so does Coco

I don't know how big your cats are, but my largest is over 16 lbs and he measures about 2 feet long not counting his tail and approximately a foot and a half tall from feet to top of head. This box is big.

Outside is 25" long, 16" wide in front of fins, 14" high to top of fin. Inside is 18" long, 16" wide at base of mouth and 8" high at opening of mouth. Plenty big to fit my 14 lb male cat with room to spare.

Our cat is 8 lbs and she fits just fine- although she hardly ever goes in there. I don't think sure the 16 lb would fit. The whole is about 7" across. Our cat will go on the first and second levels but the third level is a little wobbly for her.

My 20 pound cat wears a large. I think the medium would be fine for a 12 pound cat. It is made of t-shirt fabric and is very stretchy.

I just measured the inside of mine and it's 22" long (max), 13 1/2 h and 13" wide - a tight fit for your kitty. I would agree with several of your other responders -ok for short distances, though would avoid for longer distances. You want your best friends to be more than comfortable. (mine inside measures 22"l x 13.5"w and 13"h. Personally, I would opt to the next size up.

My 14 lb cat fits in it. There isn't a lot of "head room" for her to stand up though. She can turn around though

It is 18"x12.5"x12". We have a large tabby (18 lbs) who fits in there just fine.
