Here is one of the things that makes me happy.......this is the homemade heat den we made for outside kitties, Parfait & Buster......I took a heated pad (specially made for outdoor use on pets) and covered it with fake sheepskin that can be washed, then we took a Rubbermaid container, cut a hole in back for the electric cord and a big hole in front for them to enter and exit.......we left the lid on for them so if it rains or snows it will stay dry......we then placed it up on our outdoor Rubbermaid garbage storage unit so that the raccoons & skunks can't get in it.....here you can see Parfait and you can't see her brother behind her.....<br /><br />

we are happy campers that they are using it....that is 2 less kitties outside that we have to worry about.....BTW, Parfait looks just like Jiffy (one of the older sisters that we have in the house)<br /><br />
Happy New Year one and all!!!

Wonderful job!! I take old plastic dog houses line them with foam insulation. Then I stuff them with straw. The feral cats love it they make a nest in the straw and it keeps them toasty and dry all winter. Just got a heated water bowl too so the water does not freeze. Suzanne

This is so wonderful it warms my heart! Is there still a sale going on your website? Does it end DEC 31? I am making a long list from your site. Adore your designs that include cats. I have a solid black cat and she is my baby. Hugs from KS

Froher Neues Jahr!
Schön zu sehen das die beiden Katzen ihre warme und trockene Behausung angenommen haben.
Ich habe für Nachbars Freigänger Katze einen windgeschützten Hochsitz im Fahrradschuppen gebaut, Katzen lieben es ja von oben die Übersicht zu haben um im Notfall fliehen zu können. Ich habe ihr eine große Liegefläche aus Kunstleder genäht die mit Styropor gefüllt ist, sie mag es >^•^<

Raccoons are cleaver things. We made an outside house for our cats with a door that required a special collar device to open the door. All of a sudden we noticed that they seemed to be eating a lot of food. WELL, one day we found the raccoon in the house!!! So guess who was eating all of that extra food. It was a mess trying to get rid of it.

Yes, coons have climbed over our banister railing on the back porch and on my pool decking.

I know they are very creative creatures......the cat food we put out is away from this warming box, so far so good...
