Cat house insulation problem/question
So how many cats do I need in my crawl space to radiant heat a 1500 sq. foot
ranch?

Cats make heat, and warm air rises. Can you make an entrance below
the house or a platform inside so the cat can sit above the top of
the entrance? A plastic flap hanging over the door would also help.
An ASHRAE-standard normally-active 6.61 pound cat makes 68.02 Btu/h.
Under a 2 ft^2 R1 cardboard roof, it can be 34 F warmer than outdoors.
Add some carpet under or over the roof to make it warmer.
