What's wrong with this picture? Aside from the fact I took it through the dining room window.
This is how Biscuit spends his days. On TOP of the very expensive feral cat house I bought for him. Admittedly, he can't fit his fat head through the small entrance hole very well, and though it's been wet and rainy for 2 weeks, it hasn't been cold enough to encourage him to try a warmer place.
The smaller unit to the right is a second cat house. It has a bigger door and is stuffed with nice, dry straw. He doesn't use it, either.
I don't like having all this junk on the front porch if it doesn't get used. Biscuit eats his breakfast on the porch, a bowl of milk mixed with an egg and a small can of cat food. Later in the afternoon he has dinner in the woodshed with whatever feral cats show up to join him.
I don't know where he spends his nights. He leaves the porch when it gets dark. Sometimes he's gone for a couple of days, probably just living on the fat he's stored, or maybe he has a cache of mice somewhere.
I would put both of these cat houses in the woodshed, but I'm worried they'll attract rodents or raccoons instead of cats.
Why are cats so uncooperative?

that's why they are cats
Some cats just don't like to be inside enclosed places. I see he has a nice soft towel to lay on, so he is probably happy with that. I had one cat once who wouldn't come in no matter how cold it was. Nor would she use a cat house like yours, but instead hunched up on a porch railing all night.
I had two dog houses for our two dogs. Neither slept in a house. one just slept on the roof of the dog house which was inside a carport with a retaining wall. I just assumed she was surveying her domain.
As for why animals, cats or dogs do what they do, it is a mystery some days.
I don't think cats like to sleep in a place with only one way out, especially outdoors.
Why are cats so uncooperative?... They aren't! They simply take after their owners. By the way I thought that a cat house was another name for a brothel!
