cat house

Pet's small dwelling

A cat house is a brothel—a place where prostitutes work.

The term is American slang, now somewhat dated: The sheriff knew about the cat house but left it alone.

Separately, a cat house can simply be a shelter built for cats, though this innocent sense is less common.
