is this cat house insulated?

It came full of straw. I think I remember that it had some foam on the inside. I wasn't impressed at all with its "unfinished" appearance inside - and our stray cat never even tried it out. I finally gave it away to a local animal colony.

No, but it comes with straw in it, which is a good insulator. I added some fleece under and over the straw. It is the most popular feral house I have. If you have a cold climate, add a lot more straw. When we have some cold nights (not many usually), I put rice in socks, tie them off, microwave them, and put them in the feral house.

Hi Denise .The ones I have are several years old. I did not find them to be as warm and insulated as another type. They do remain dry inside and the owner told me last year he had made some design changes and improvements. He`s a wonderful man and I suggest you contact the company and speak to him directly with any questions. I`m not sure this is allowed but I have several types in my yard and if you contact me directly by email (catchick330@hotmail.com) I`d be happy to discuss the pros and cons of each with you. Ginny P

I'm not sure, but you can get one of those self-heating pads that works very well. I also bought a child's outdoor sleeping bag at a thrift store one fall before it started raining and wrapped it around the tube and then secured each side with bricks. The sleeping bag cost around $3.99. It worked extremely well as an extra insulator. By the way, I live in the state of Washington so we have a lot of rain and cold here. The feral cat shelter worked extraordinarily well. I have had three cat shelters, one which I gave away to a neighbor who has a cat who refused to come inside. The other two are still outside and my own indoor/outdoor cats use them. They are very durable. I'm not sure, but you can get one of those self-heating pads that works very well.

Yes, it is. I have 4 feral cats and they take turns using it. The weather here has between icy, snowy, and sometimes in the single digits, but mostly in the twenties. It comes with straw and that seems enough for my cats.

No, but there is some straw included that you can insulate it with (it does a fair but not great job).

No it is not insulated. I have never seen it sweat - but I live in a dry climate.

It is not insulated, if there is moisture I haven't notice it, but I'm sure there should be, but it should be minimal, because I haven't seen any dripping or water running under the counter top, mine is in an outdoor area, where the BBQ cabinets are. I have it hooked to a drainage, for the melted ice. For what I need it, I recommend it.

Yes it is. I haven't done that much once I put it together my cat hasn't left it much.

Not insulated. Our water supply (river) is not substantially colder than the air temperature so I haven't experienced condensation issues. Performance wise these 3 toilets have been the best home improvement for $1000 installed. Reasonably quiet, powerful, nearly self cleaning.

It is insulated. The bottom is nice and wide too to fit large Tupperware. Love my igloo lunch bag.

I believe it is. It does come with a leopard-print puff cushion. Initially I had taken that out, and only used straw, which is a good choice also; however, the cats only used it with cushion. I actually have a feral mom that came , and she has placed her 2 kittens inside. This is their current home. If you can, you can search Amazon for outdoor cathouse heatpads (I also purchased this). It can be used inside this house very nicely. I got an outdoor electric stake timer to keep pad on dusk to dawn, or non-stop. These are all extras for this house. It is a very well made and Insulated home, perfect for rigid temps. It is a wonderful thing to buy and do!!!!! I believe it is. It does come with a leopard-print puff cushion.

No it is not insulated unfortunately but we put in a small heater and it quickly warms up and is very comfortable.

It gets warm, not hot. I don't know what temperature it reaches, but my cat loves its cozy feel.

No it's not insulated but this is my favorite water bottle. I bought one on clearance and liked it so much I searched for one online. The mouth of the bottle is wide so you can dump ice in it.

Probably would not help insulate it, but a fleece blanket inside would be good and it's washable. Also, I had to screw the top to the bottom because we have high winds in my area but it was easy to do. I really like it for my cat who insists on being outdoors even in colder weather.

Not at all. This is the best purchase I have ever made for my cat. It exceeds my best expectations. Sheryll Mitzner.

Yes, it is insulated with a thin, white plastic liner. Btw, the tin rusts really easily so make sure you keep the metal parts wiped down and dry.

I think it is only supposed to heat when the cat is on it. But I noticed when I plugged it in this fall that is seemed warm without the cat.The cat seems to like it and stayed outside all last year. (Pacific Northwest) on covered porch.G McM

No, not insulated. Not waterproof either though rain doesn't hurt it at all and it dries quickly but very well made and a strong and handsome shopping cart. I've had this shopping cart for long time, I love it and it gets many compliments.

No it is not insulated. It is a sealed garbage can with a hot plate on the bottom.

Yes, does not get so hot as to melt anything. You could even put your cat on it!
