i think these are cute and ideal as a rest stop for passing cats too :wow:

Very good point, but outdoor fairy houses tend to attract erhem the more "street-wise" catfolk who end up needing TNR (trap/neuter/release). From whence we become mad cat wo/men. Be afraid - be very afraid  :scared:

I am sooo buying this!!
This is a luxury holiday home! and might actually interest Nuggie, so he too gets to stay warm or at least sheltered!!
 
He wont entertain the one we have  :shy: and it became Tazi's - and now Peanuts...*sigh*
 
I came home one day and there had been a massive downpour and i had one dry cat, one wet cat....and clearly only one intelligent cat  :rofl:  :rofl:
But I love this.....and looking at your photo Gillian its a very decent sized too!!  ;D  ;D
Cats are independent, don't listen, don't come in when you call, stay out all night and when they're home they like to be left alone to sleep....Every quality that Women HATE in a Man, they LOVE in a Cat...

Ordered it - price is still very good so have bitten the bullet. Well, Kitty's going to need her own fairy den when she starts venturing out.  ;D

So is it hard to clean out inside? I can't see a way "in" for hoomans.

Clean out? er....   :innocent:

I want this so much, it's way too cute. I think I need a bigger garden first though.

Its not very big, doesnt take up much space....  ;)

I love the look of it, but wondered if the practicalities work - I mean it would be very small inside - would only just squeeze one of my boys in and then I doubt he'd be able to turn around. And I'm not sure you can get in to clean/disinfect.

I like the idea of a covered veranda though and it's given me an idea for summer. I'm thinking of constructing a cat-port (like a car port but for....yeah you get the idea) so they have their very own spot that stays cool and dry. Just needs a bit of planking, roof felt and legs (which I already have most of). Hmm scratches chin... planning for summer already  ;D Maybe over the top of the garden bench so it would stay dry and I could bolt the roof to the fence?
Here's where I mean...

Swiss chalet anyone? Must admit to being tempted at that price. Can't imagine what the flatpack instructions look like  :doh:
