How to design ventilation for cardboard cat house

In the current pet products market, Cardboard Cat House has gradually won the favor of many pet owners because of its environmental protection, lightweight, easy to assemble and affordable price. However, as a pet product, its design must not only take into account both aesthetics and practicality, but also fully consider the physiological needs and comfort of cats. In this process, ventilation design became an integral and important part of Cardboard Cat House.

The importance of ventilation design
The normal body temperature of cats is about 38.7 degrees Celsius, which is significantly higher than that of humans. They maintain body temperature balance through respiration and skin dissipation. If the ventilation design of the Cardboard Cat House is poor, the internal temperature may be too high, affecting the cat's comfort and even causing health problems such as heatstroke. Therefore, reasonable ventilation design is crucial to ensure the health of cats.

Principles of ventilation design
Mainly natural ventilation
The ventilation design of Cardboard Cat House should make full use of natural wind pressure and thermal pressure effects to promote the natural circulation of indoor and outdoor air. Through reasonable layout of doors and windows, opening of ventilation holes, etc., the air flow is guided to achieve the effects of cooling, dehumidification and ventilation.
Consider your cat’s behavior
Cats prefer a quiet and secluded environment, but they also need a certain amount of space for activities. In the ventilation design, it is necessary to take into account the cat's concealment and activity needs, and avoid excessively large or improperly positioned ventilation holes that may cause the cat to feel uneasy or appear exposed.
Material selection
Cardboard material itself has a certain degree of breathability, but its waterproof and moisture-proof properties should also be considered when selecting. High-quality, environmentally friendly and non-toxic cardboard materials should be used to ensure the health and safety of your cat.

The practice of ventilation design
Door and window design
Cardboard Cat House doors and windows should be designed to be openable to facilitate air circulation. Windows can take the form of blinds or sliding windows, which are both beautiful and practical. The position and size of doors and windows need to be reasonably arranged according to the cat's body shape and activity habits to ensure that the cat can freely enter and exit and observe the external environment.
Ventilation hole design
Opening appropriate ventilation holes on the side walls or top of Cardboard Cat House can effectively improve internal ventilation conditions. The size and number of ventilation holes should be reasonably adjusted according to the cat's size, seasonal changes, indoor and outdoor temperature differences and other factors. In summer, the size and number of vents can be appropriately increased to enhance air circulation; in winter, the size and number of vents can be appropriately reduced to reduce the intrusion of cold wind.
Internal structural design
The internal structure of the Cardboard Cat House can be designed to be multi-layered or with partitions to increase layers and paths for air circulation. At the same time, setting up ventilation ducts or ventilation slots inside can effectively guide the air flow and improve the overall ventilation efficiency.
