Review on Brown/White TRIXIE Pet Products 2-Story Cat Cottage for Enhanced SEO by Elwanda Johnson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent, but the second floor veranda is poor.

Trixie Pet Products 2 Tier Cat House Brown/White I love this house, it is very easy to put together and took about 20 minutes. When I opened the box I saw a few tiny black pebbles - don't worry if you see that, it's coming from the roof. I have a family of 7 house/wild kittens outside and this is their home. So this family has enough space to cuddle. We had freezing weather, snow and rain. The windows let in some moisture, and the open roof let in some moisture from the snow, but not enough to cause a problem. My biggest complaint is the small porch on the second floor! It is assembled from small wooden slats! and covered with a thin solid piece. It's awful, it started falling apart the first time it rained. This won't be a problem for me, I'm planning to build a porch at the top that goes all the way through the front and out a bit further so the rain doesn't get into the bottom door that I made stationary (it's just one of the doors, so that these children do not feel trapped and are protected from the weather). When it's cold I put my hand inside the house, it was chilly there, so I crocheted a big bed for the floor and a small one for the roof and along the back wall parts of an old quilt (which comes the north wind), the little family really LOVES this house! The lower porch is beautiful - the house is high enough that I could put a bowl of water under it and the family could get to their feeding station (which I placed behind the house) so they stay dry while eating. I give this house 4 stars because: the smaller porch falls apart when the first rain hits it, and that porch doesn't expand enough to keep the weather out of the bottom door (which is when you have a home/wild they need a door open so they feel safe in. The piece of plastic I received was so twisted that it couldn't be used.If you can build another porch I would give this house a 5. Add comfort and put things away Kittens LOVE the WS tune with windows!They love to be inside and watch me change food because they know they can jump out if they want.I wish there was a window at the back of the house with panels but on the other hand they would feel safer doing it because they could see all sides.All parts of this house have withstood the rain and snow except for the smaller part. the threshold I recommend this house! When the kids are inside, cat dad sits on the lower porch where I fixed the door and watches the intruders, the design seems to meet all their needs - ghost mom sits on the roof of the house at 5 a.m., waiting for my return! First of all I would really recommend this house but I warn you about the smaller porch! Hope this helps with your decision. I am satisfied with this product.
