Large Outdoor Cat House

thingiverse

The original SketchUp file is included so you can get all dimensions and angles for recreating this yourself or making modifications as you wish. The interior dimensions are approximately 34"x18". This perfectly fits the common heating pad made by K&H Manufacturing found on Amazon. The front window requires a 6.5" square piece of 1/4" glass or plexiglass. It slides in from the bottom, and the bottom window molding is attached to the house from the inside using a 1.25" long wood screw. The entire structure is built out of 1" thick boards, except for a few 2"x2" boards. The front door is sized for a large cat (15 lbs). If your cat is smaller, you can subtract 1" from the opening width and height. The roof is attached using a 3' long continuous hinge. I highly recommend stainless steel for the hinge and the wood screws. The leg caps are 3D printed to keep water on the surface from wicking up into the house legs. They have holes to drain water that gets in from the top, and they fit over a standard 2x2 board.
