  1. 0:00 Good day. I'm Dr Duncan Houston and this is my fake living room.
  2. 0:03 This is actually quite popular, this one. This is the Cottage. So, it looks like a little cottage.
  3. 0:09 Same again, made out of the felt material, flat-packed, very easy.
  4. 0:13 It's got a hole on the left-hand side as well as an entry hole at the front and a little window here to make it look like a cottage.
  5. 0:21 Anyway, it's the same again; it's quite strong on top. You can have a couple of cats on top and one inside.
  6. 0:26 It looks very cute and the felt material is great for scratching and chewing on, but please don't let them eat it.

How it works

Why The Cottage works for an indoor cat, and for two

Two doors, on purpose

An arched door in the front wall and an opening in one end.

  • A way to see outFor one cat, a way in and a way to see out.
  • For two, nobody corneredFor two, the difference between a den and a trap: the cat inside can always leave the other way, and a den nobody can be cornered in is the one that gets used.
  • A four-pane window for watchingThe four-pane window beside the door is for watching feet go past.

A roof you can sit on

Between the two gable ends the roof is a flat deck with a white felt pad, so the house is a perch as well as a den.

  • Above the room or insideThe cat who wants to be above the room takes it; the cat who wants out of it takes the inside; a cat on her own uses both in a day.
  • Rated to 7 kgThe house is rated to 7 kg.

Felt, tabbed, flat-packed

High-density felt panels with corrugated cardboard in the structure, held by white felt tabs through slots, no tools.

  • Arrives flat, stands upIt arrives flat at 36 by 32 by 9 cm and stands up to 52 by 32 by 31 cm.
  • Warm, quiet, vacuums cleanFelt is warm, quiet under claws and holds its shape; it sheds a little at first, lint-rolls or vacuums clean, and comes apart when the inside needs a proper go.

Three rules for choosing

  • Measure her curled up, nose to tail base. Under about 40 cm she sleeps inside; the house is rated to 7 kg, and a cat over that uses the roof.

  • Two cats: one on the roof and one inside works when they are friends, and the second door means the one inside is never cornered. In a multi-cat house the rule is one hiding place per cat plus one, and this counts as one.

  • Kittens: the inside is a good first hideaway because it is low, dark and has two ways out; the roof is a climb she will manage within weeks. Check the tabs are seated, because a kitten chews anything that sticks out.

How to

How to get a cat to use a new house

  • Illustrated man in a purple jumper kneeling to press the roof edge of The Cottage, the grey PURRZ™ felt house, into place, a cat beside him looking up

    Build it out of the bag

    Felt smells of the bag it shipped in for ten minutes. Tab it together in the room she will use it in and let her supervise.

  • Illustrated man in a purple jumper sitting in an armchair and looking down at The Cottage, the grey PURRZ™ felt house, beside it, a cat looking out of the arched door

    Put it where she already hides

    Beside the sofa, in the corner she retreats to, near where she sleeps now. Not the laundry.

  • Illustrated man in a purple jumper placing a treat inside the arched door of The Cottage, the grey PURRZ™ felt house, a folded blanket on its roof deck and a cat watching

    Leave both doors clear

    Do not push the end opening against a wall; the second door is the point. A treat inside, her blanket on the roof, and two weeks before you judge it.

  • Illustrated man in a purple jumper kneeling to draw a feather wand past the arched door of The Cottage, the grey PURRZ™ felt house, a cat inside reaching out with a paw

    Play through the door

    A wand or a feather attachment past the arch from outside; a nose at the window is the game the window was cut for.

  • Illustrated man in a purple jumper kneeling to vacuum inside The Cottage, the grey PURRZ™ felt house, with a handheld vacuum through the arched door, a cat sitting beside him

    Vacuum through the doors

    Once a week, reach in through the arch and the end. Hair and felt fluff collect in the corners; take it apart for a proper clean.

Vet noteDr Duncan Houston, emergency veterinarian

Felt sheds a little at first, and a cat who eats the fluff or chews the tabs should have it taken away and the habit mentioned to your vet. Check the tabs are seated after assembly and after every clean, or a wall opens under a cat leaning on it. The roof is rated to 7 kg; a heavier cat on it bows the deck, which is a squashed house rather than an injury, but measure her before you count on it. A cat who starts hiding more than she used to, stops coming out for food, or stops using a spot she loved is telling you something is wrong: hiding is how cats show pain and illness, and it is a vet visit before it is a new bed. In a multi-cat house, one hiding place per cat plus one, or the shy cat never gets to use it. Keep it out of the sun in summer; felt holds heat. If you are unsure about any of this, ask your vet.

Why I designed it

A front door, a back door and a roof to sit on.

Most cat houses have one door, and for a shy cat in a quiet home that is right.

  • One door becomes a trapAdd a second cat and one door becomes a trap: the cat inside can be cornered, and the cat outside knows it.
  • An opening in the end wallThe Cottage has an arched door at the front and an opening in the end wall, so whoever is inside can always leave the other way.
  • A flat deck on the roofAnd the roof is a flat deck with a felt pad for whoever wants to be above it all.
  • Two cats, three places to beTwo cats, three places to be, nobody cornered.
  • Gary took the roofGary took the roof and left the doors to sort themselves out.

    Is it a den or a perch?

    Both. Inside is an enclosed felt room with an arched door at the front, an opening in the end and a small window; on top is a flat roof deck with a felt pad between two gable ends. A cat on her own uses both in a day, inside when the house is busy and the roof when she wants to see it. Two cats take one each.

    How big is it, and will a big cat fit?

    Assembled it is 52 cm long, 32 cm deep and 31 cm high, and it is rated to 7 kg. Measure your cat curled up, nose to tail base: under about 40 cm she sleeps inside. The doors are the limit for a big cat; a large Ragdoll or a Maine Coon will take the roof and may not bother with the inside.

    Why two doors?

    Because one door is a trap in a house with more than one cat. The cat inside can be cornered and the cat outside knows it, so the den stops being used. With a door at the front and an opening in the end, whoever is inside can always leave the other way. For a single cat it is simply a way in and a way to see out, and a house she is happier in for it.

    Is it hard to put together?

    It arrives flat at 36 by 32 by 9 cm and tabs together, no tools: the white felt tabs push through slots along the edges and are the fixings, not decoration. Build it in the room she will use it in, check the tabs are seated when you finish, and again after each clean. It comes apart the same way.

    How do I clean felt?

    Vacuum it or run a lint roller over it, reaching in through the arch and the end opening; a damp cloth for marks. For a proper clean, take it apart and do the panels flat. Do not put felt through the washing machine, it loses its shape. It sheds a little fluff in the first weeks, which is normal, and the roof pad collects hair, which is a lint roller job.

    My cat has started hiding all the time. Will this help?

    No, and please do not buy it for that. A cat who suddenly hides more, stops coming out to eat or stops using a favourite spot is showing you pain or illness, and that is a vet visit first. A hiding place is for a healthy cat's normal need to be out of sight sometimes, not a treatment for a cat who has changed.

    What if it arrives damaged or my cat ignores it?

    Email hello@purrz.com within 7 days of delivery with a photo and your order number; faulty, damaged or incorrect items are covered and we pay the return shipping when the error is ours. A cat ignoring it in week one is normal: the right spot, a treat inside, her blanket on the roof, and two weeks.
