Being an outdoor cat is all fine and dandy, I’d imagine, until it’s negative degrees outside and you’re jealous of domestic cats who have access to warmth. But not this winter! Now, your outdoor or feral cat will be riding out the cold weather in a heated cat house, thanks to this Amazon best-seller.

This outdoor pet house was designed to help kitties beat the elements. The K&H Pet Products house is made from 600 denier nylon with a vinyl backing to make it waterproof. There are two doors with plastic flaps that are secured with Velcro. And the heated version (you can also get it unheated) comes with the brand’s Lectro-Soft outdoor heated pad. Plus, it's been tested and certified by MET Labs for electrical safety standards, so your cat will be safely warm.

Although it’s marketed for outdoor cats, the house can definitely be used indoors, as well. Other specs include outer measurements of 18 by 22 inches and a heated pad that's 14 by 18 inches. The cat house comes in an olive color, as well as various designs, including a barn, cottage, and log cabin—so you can choose one that fits your ~aesthetic~.

The K&H Pet Products heated cat house is available on Amazon Prime for $67.99 (the patterned models are $77.56). Out of 4,252 reviews at the time of publishing, the heated house cat has an average of 4.6 out of 5 stars, which is pretty great if you asked me.

“As most reviewers have mentioned, this house was easy to put together and we were impressed with the quality,” one buyer wrote. “We are 100 percent satisfied and recommend this product without hesitation!” wrote another.

Evidently, outdoor cats just might have the upper hand this winter.
