A kitty enjoying the KatKabin outdoors!

Much like bears seek caves for shelter come winter; a cat would naturally seek an enjoyable shelter where he or she could avoid the elements and stay warm and cozy. The KatKabin offers our feline friends the ability to have a home away from home. If cat owners are at work, or perhaps gone for a weekend getaway, they can rest assured that though their feline friend is outside, he or she is in a secure structure that offers warmth and safety.

The KatKabin a luxurious outdoor cat house, gives your cat all the comfort and safety he or she is used to indoors. The KatKabin DezRez is an ingenious and quite simply wonderful home for your fabulous feline. Standing above the ground, it provides a warm, cosy and shaded insulated outdoor cat shelter for napping, stretching and relaxing. Your cat is protected from the weather and is safe and relaxed until you return in a sturdy and purpose-made home.

I literally lifted it out of the box, put it down to read the flyer and he climbed right in!

The opening also has a conventional clip-on cat flap that can be attached or removed depending on the season or your cat’s preference.The KatKabin is also purrrfect for use indoors as a stylish new addition to your home.The KatKabin is available in a beautiful range of colors that can either blend in or stand out in your garden, outdoor area or home. Wherever you choose to put yours, this certainly is one cat house which will make a stunning design statement!

I was BEYOND thrilled when I was asked if I would be interested in reviewing a KatKabin! My kitties are both indoor only so I plan on only using the KatKabin inside. Now that the cold weather is here, Harley and Jewel are always trying to hide in blankets to keep warm, especially at night. Harley especially loves finding things to sleep in, like boxes or little cube huts.  He loves his cube huts but he is so long and tall that he is unable to stretch out – he has to stay curled up.  I was excited to see if he would be able to stretch out in a KatKabin.

As you can see Harley has PLENTY of room to walk in, turn around and stretch out!

I decided to put the KatKabin behind our recliner since he usually lays back there anyway on the blankets – plus there is a heat vent in that corner!
Features of the KatKabin:

  • Developed to withstand the widest range of temperature extremes
  • Made from high grade, fade-resistant materials
  • Feet fixing holes enable the KatKabin to be fixed to any surface
  • Rear holes for air ventilation
  • Innovative oval design helps the air to circulate inside rather than being trapped at the top as in other shapes
  • Removable KatFlap door supplied as standard
  • Washable KatKushion supplied as standard
  • Optional washable fleecy Winter Warmer – lines the internal body of the KatKabin to keep your cat warm and snug even in the coldest conditions – available separately or as part of the Premium Combination KatKabin
  • Optional waterproof, low energy EcoGlow Pet Warming Pad – provides much needed warmth in frigid conditions.

 

Here is a video explaining some of the features:

Jewel usually doesn’t go in any of the huts we have. She is known for tunneling under blankets to lay with us when we are in bed though.  We thought maybe she was too scared to have anything covering her unless we were laying with her.  I was going about my daily routine and happened to find her sleeping in the KatKabin the morning after it arrived!

You can see the door of the KatKabin leaning against the wall. I did have it attached, but when Harley was inside it and Jewel got close by, he would punch it open, hitting her with the door. It’s not heavy, so she wasn’t hurt but I didn’t want her to be afraid of it so I just took it off.  Jewel wants to cuddle with Harley inside it so bad but he isn’t into all that mushy stuff (typical male hahaha) and won’t let her in when he is in it.

If you have an outdoor cat I HIGHLY recommend this product as well as the Winter Warmer. The winter warmer is thick luxurious 360 degree liner for the inside of the DezRez – for added insulation and ultimate cosiness! The winter warmer is fully machine washable.It gets so cold at night, especially here in Western New York!

I think this is a great product to keep your furry family members warm in the harsh elements.  It’s a little on the expensive side for our budget (about $95 at most retailers) but that is actually cheaper than most of the “cat trees” you see in all the pet stores for cats to climb on.  

 

New this year is the EcoGlow Pet Warming Pad.It is safe to use outside and uses low energy to provide much needed warmth to outdoor cats in sub-zero temperatures. The EcoGlow is an extremely economical warming pad that is waterproof to withstand all conditions including rain and snow.This tough and extremely economical pet warming pad only uses 4 Watts of energy and for safety runs at 12V from a mains transformer (supplied) with the convenience of a generous (about 10 feet) power cord. The KatKabin EcoGlow Pet Warming Pad is waterproof in accordance with IPX7 standards; which means that it can withstand accidental immersion in 3 feet (1 meter) of water for up to 30 minutes! That means it would be perfectly fine to use when we get Lake Effect Snow off the Great Lakes!
