Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My husband and I bought this dog house for our stray cat...yes, a cat lol. As he came to us as a stray close to 6 years ago when we moved hinto our new home; as a stray he spends 99.5% of his time outside. I spoil him. He's all set up with food & water, a huge bed with a couple fleece throws and a cat house, which is rather small for his size- 18.9lbs. He used it when he HAD to in order to keep from getting soaked during a windy, rainy storm but he had absolutely no wiggle room. Winter is fast approaching and I needed to find a better way to keep him dry/warm. I liked into a patio bra (a covering for an awning) but it was way too expensive at over $3,000. I looked around on Amazon and came across this dog house and two other. I compared the three...reviews, measurements, materials, etc. and decided on this one. It had the best reviews and lowest price; no brainer lol. The dog house arrived quickly, five days after purchase. The box it comes in is very secure and thick for protection. The house itself is made out of strong interlocking plastic and is super easy to put together; took about five minutes. We learned the hard way to put it together outside first, if that's its final destination as the roof made it not fit through the door. It was an easy fix; we just took off the roof to get it out and easily snapped it back on once outside. The only complaint I have was that it was supposed to come with sticker letters so you can place your pets name above the door but mine was missing the stickers...so I just used a Sharpie to write his name on it. He got into it the same night (4 days ago) and he's used it every night since. Thank goodness because this was our last resort. It can hold a dog up to 100lbs (and I was able to fit in it- Female, 5'6", 112lbs) so for him, he has PLENTY of wiggle room. So far, so good. I will update my review once we're into the winter and I can see how it holds up to the wind & rain. UPDATE: 8/28/2017 Wanted to update on this a little.. My cat used it with no problems whatsoever- stayed together in all weather, no leaking when it rained (however, I did cover it with a tarp during the winter). He used it all winter long and during the not so hot summer nights. Sadly, my kitty passed away in March, so I passed the house on to my sister for her stray kitty friends, and they also love it.
