In winter they are all looking for the same thing: a place out of the wind, where the ground is not wet and where their own body heat does not escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is what Firmin is made for. Its insulated walls send the cat's body heat back to it, its roof overhangs so the rain falls to the side, and its legs keep it away from the cold, damp ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat keeps it warm\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour layers in every wall.\u003c\/strong\u003e Thick 600D Oxford fabric on the outside, a waterproof coating, a layer of insulating wadding and, inside, an aluminium lining that reflects the cat's warmth. No plug: the shelter simply keeps the cat's own heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn entrance that blocks the wind.\u003c\/strong\u003e A clear flap keeps the warmth inside while letting the cat look out before stepping out. In very cold weather, the outer flap unrolls and closes the entrance; the rest of the time it stays rolled up above the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOff the cold ground.\u003c\/strong\u003e The shelter sits on a frame with legs: the floor never touches wet soil, snow or icy concrete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMade for outdoors\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn overhanging roof.\u003c\/strong\u003e Its slope lets rain and snow slide off and fall beside the walls instead of running over the entrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnchored to the ground.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two stakes are included to fix it into the lawn or soil: it stays put on windy days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssembled in minutes, no tools.\u003c\/strong\u003e It goes together with hook-and-loop fasteners and a zip.
