1. Environmental protection and health
Corrugated cat houses use food-grade recycled corrugated cardboard, which has no glue smell and formaldehyde, avoiding the volatile organic compounds that may be released by traditional plastic cat houses to harm the cat's respiratory system. Corrugated paper can be naturally degraded, reducing plastic pollution, and is in line with the trend of sustainable development (traditional plastic cat houses take hundreds of years to decompose).
The multi-layer structure of corrugated paper forms an air insulation layer, which is warm in winter and cool in summer (the measured internal temperature difference is 3-5℃ lower than that of plastic cat houses). The air permeability is better than that of fabric cat houses, avoiding the breeding of bacteria in humid environments and reducing the risk of ringworm.
2. Functional design advantages
Meet the natural scratching needs of cats: The surface texture of corrugated paper can replace the cat scratching board and reduce the damage of cats to furniture. The closed dome or square box structure (door height ≥15cm) conforms to the "cave nature" of cats and is easier to gain the trust of cats than open fabric cat houses.
The surface of the corrugated cat house is oleophobic, and stains can be wiped clean, while the fabric cat bed needs to be frequently disassembled and washed (it is easy to breed mites). Partial damage can be repaired (white latex + cardboard) to extend the service life; traditional plastic cat houses cannot be repaired after aging and cracking.
3. Compensation for the shortcomings of traditional cat houses
Comparison Dimensions |
