If his head fits, then the rest of his body will fit too.) most customer's put a sheet of plywood over the top of their shelter to add overhang. Assembled inside dimensions 22Lx12Wx7H ASPCA Q&A'S Q: What about the need for keeping the cats out of harm's reach? A: Placement of shelters is important in keeping cats safe from predators. If unleashed dogs are in the area, place your shelter behind a fence where the dogs can't get in, or have the entrance face a wall so only the cats can get in and out, and be sure the shelter is weighted down and hard to move. Q: Why should the bin be raised off the ground? A: Raising the shelter off the cold ground makes it easier for the cats to warm the inside with their body heat. To keep it even warmer, you can place straw underneath. Q: Why is the bin on a slant? A: Putting the shelter on a slant helps to keep rain from pooling or snow from piling up on the roof. A slanted roof might also discourage predators from sitting on the roof to stalk. Q: Winter winds here would blow those things around. What could you use to weigh it down? A: These lightweight shelters definitely need to be secured against the wind. Here are some ideas: Put heavy, flat rocks or pavers/bricks on the lid (some people glue the rocks on with Liquid Nails) Place two shelters with the doorways facing each other and put a large board on top of both shelters – this weighs the shelters down and provides a protected entryway Q: What about painting the outside in brown or camouflage colors? A: Painting your cat shelters in camouflage or earth tones is a good idea that'll keep unwanted attention away.
