I had the original felt cat house from several years ago. It had a good life, it eventually made it's way to the catio where it's exposed to the harsh weather in Southern California. Recently, we were cleaning out the catio and I thought, I wonder if I ordered a new felt top if the cats would enjoy this again? I ordered the top in cream (sold out when I originally purchased the house) and cleaned up the wood frame. First off, the wood frame held up beautifully! In all seriousness, there was a lot of exposure to moisture and water! Then I put on the new top... and the cats went wild! They all share the house in it's new indoor spot in front of their favorite East facing window. There's almost always a foot or tail sticking out when I wander through the room.
