Welcome to the forum.

Any decent anti slip porcelain will be fine.
Have a look at our sponsors @Brooke Ceramics

Hi and thank you for the advice. I will have a look at that site. Glad I don't have to buy the outdoor type of tiles then.

If you’re referring to 20mm porcelain slabs, no you don’t, no matter what the store says. Any 10mm and above, frost resistant, porcelain tile is suitable.

It’s bigger than my flat!
How much rent do you charge?
Are you giving them electric under floor heating for the winter?
Epoxy grout might be worth the investment.

Porcelain for all your worries

Hi and thank you for the replies. I wasn't sure which thickness of tile to buy so you reckon a minimum of 10mm should be OK then? Hah, hah, the cats are better looked after then me. The cat house is actually two. Stud house on the right and a spare on the left. No underfloor heating. That would be a complete waste on money as the run is exposed to the weather. The cabin could have been done of course, but there is a heater in there for the winter. Also a heated bed.

Are they wild cats?

 

[Lesley Green]

Well they are sometimes not too happy, hah, hah. No, they are traditional Siamese.
I am now thinking that luxury vinyl tiles might be suitable. Any thoughts on those please? More expensive than the other tiles but won't crack or break.

 

[Lesley Green]

Nope, luxury vinyl tiles are are out. I have been told they will not stand up to extreme heat or weather. They are meant for indoor floors only. Looks like a trip to a tile shop for some porcelain tiles.
