A covered wooden resting space for cats

This handcrafted wooden cat house has a clear role in the Tuuli pet range: it is the private cat hideaway and resting-space option. Choose it when you want to give a cat a defined covered place where it can rest, hide and watch the room at its own pace.

A covered cat house can be useful in the places where cats often choose to settle: a quieter corner of the living room, a bedroom corner, a calm hallway, a covered balcony area, a catio or a safe window-side resting spot. It gives the cat a simple enclosed retreat without turning the product into a climbing tower, travel crate or play structure.

The birch plywood panels create a clean wooden furniture look with a recognisable cat-head doorway. Birch plywood gives the house a panel-built wooden structure and a simple natural surface, while the cat-head entrance gives the product its visual identity and clearly shows the entry point.

At 9 kg, this is a substantial wooden cat house rather than a lightweight carrier or temporary fabric-style hideaway. Once placed correctly on a stable, flat surface, it feels more like a dedicated furniture item for a cat rest area.

The foldable construction is designed to assemble without tools, screws or glue. This makes it more flexible than fixed pet furniture, while still requiring careful setup before use.

The natural untreated finish keeps the birch plywood surface simple and uncoated, without lacquer or added chemical finish. Because the surface is untreated, it should be kept dry and protected from moisture.

Placement ideas

• Quiet living-room corner: use it as a defined cat rest area without adding a tall cat tree.
• Bedroom or hallway: place it where your cat already likes to pause, hide or watch household movement.
• Window-side area: place it near a safe window spot where the cat can observe the room or outside view, while keeping it away from direct heat and moisture.
• Multi-cat household: use it as one additional private resting option, without treating it as a solution for behaviour or conflict issues.
• Covered balcony, patio or catio: use only if the area is dry, protected and not exposed to rain, wet flooring or harsh weather.
