You can't really wash them as the have stiffener bars - I will get her an igloo now I know she will use it - I was in 2 minds before as I have wasted money on unused cat trees etc in the past 

How about spraying with a little linseed oil and metho - that is what we used to waterproof tents back in the good old days before they were made of synthetic material ... Not too sure if the chemicals would be safe for kitties or for the fabric, come to think of it ............ Well, it was a short burst of dubious genius .......

I am sure it is waterproof cos its like my small tent.....I mean the material is LOL

A bit like a kagoule  - maybe our kitties are all "anoraks"

Wash in tent waterproofer would make it properly waterproof I would have thought for when rain is heavier

Kylie was moping by the back door as its raining so I carried her out protesting but as soon as I put her in the tent, she realised she could be outside in the rain and not get wet  - she is realy pleased although she keeps looking outside then up at the ceiling and wondering why she's not getting wet. The water doesn't roll off it but its great for summer rain
