Cat House Buyer Guide

Now that you have enough knowledge about the best cat houses, you can easily have the urge to buy. But you cannot be sure which one is best for you. Below is a buying guide for you.


Security

The first point of any pet cage is to ensure safety. If they are left in panic for a long time, it is not conducive to their physical and mental health. And not only to prevent the threat of wild animals, but also the safety of the cage itself. The structure of the cat house must be stable enough. Because cats are easy to move to a large extent, the cat house should be enough to support the cat's movement.


Size

Generally, the common sizes of cat hutch are 60-80 cm. Cats are animals that like to curl up, and their limbs are relatively soft. Therefore, if you raise 1-2 cats daily, there is no problem with cat hutch of 60-80 cm. If there is often no one at home during the day, the cat should stay in the cat house. Of course, if the size of your room allows, a large cat house is also possible. Giving cats enough space is conducive to their physical and mental health.


Material

Iron Cat Cage:

PROS:

  • Durable
  • Good air permeability
  • Affordable


CONS:

  • It is not completely enclosed, urine may get outside the cage.
  • Cat litter and food debris will fall out in the cracks.
  • If you want to put cushions in the cage, you must use breathable materials.


Wooden Cat House:

PROS:

  • Beautiful
  • Various shapes
  • Fully enclosed will make the cage cleaner.


CONS:

  • Some may not be ventilated.


Ventilation

No matter what pet you keep, there will be a smell in the cage. The function of ventilation is to ensure the air circulation in the cat house and keep the inside dry and hygienic. Insufficient ventilation can cause your cat to get sick. Especially if there is more than one cat in your cat house.


Keep Warm

Cats are animals that like to be warm. How can it not be warm as a place for cats to rest and sleep? If you want to buy an outdoor cat house, it is best to choose an insulated one.


The Benefits Of Owning A Cat House

Improve Adaptability

If you have just brought your cat into the house, your cat needs a transition period. At this time, I suggest keeping the cat in a cat house. Because cats are prone to stress when they first arrive at home, they need at least seven days to adapt.


Avoid Estrus

Many cat owners do not want to sterilize their cats. Male cats will pee frequently, and female cats will bark all day long. This will greatly affect your mood. Your floor, wallpaper will suffer. At this time, a cat house is particularly important.


Avoid Fighting

This is mainly for when there is more than one pet in the house. Or often there are friends’ cats that need to be kept in your house.


Final Thoughts

The best cat house provides a safe and comfortable environment for your cat. You have many choices. Including single-story cat house and double-story cat house, outdoor cat house and indoor cat house.

Aivituvin's cat house is warm and comfortable, while sturdy and durable. You can't go wrong with any of them, and each can become your cat's favorite new home. Choosing Aivituvin is to choose a warm home for your cat.
