Domestic cats are only good down to about 7°C (45°F). 2" oak has an R value of about 1.5 (2" of foam has an R value of about 12). Without a heater, neither is going to be enough

My neighbor used a heat lamp bulb as a heater for his dog. This might work.

In any case (not knowing your cat's cold capability) I would be inclined to put a remote outdoor thermometer in the cat house just to be sure you don't end up with a purrcycle.
