  • Recently, a local stray kitten settled in our backyard. "Fosca" plays with our chickens and watches out for field mice (we hope!) in exchange for frequent food offerings and the odd petting session.
    In this video, I'll show you how I built her a winter shelter. Our could season is no joke, and I wanted her to have a well-insulated home to call her own.

    In 5000 years some kids playing around stumble upon an odd construction halfway buried in the dirt. Not knowing what to think of it, they send holographic images to their parents and teachers to help them make sense of it. Long story short, the incredibly sturdy construction still intact and with traces of red paint still noticeable on the roof, was moved to a local museum for display after careful analysis and studies in the most advances laboratories of the land. The display explains how a skilled, animal loving craftsman around 2000 used many hours of his free time after work to make a weather proof and comfortable house for a cat. 💖😁🇩🇰

      More likely with the current & rapid decline in human intelligence they will think it was made by super small half-man-half-cat people.

    I have 3 cats that decided my yard is their home, and I'm happy for it, I wanna make them a double house, because 2 of the cats get along great, since the big one adopted the small one and acts like she's his mother, and the other cat is a male that don't get along with the big momma cat, so separate entrances would be best, and a dividing wall so they don't see each other

    Great job, WB. It just goes to show that Fosca in particular and cats in general are smart enough to pick the right hooman to adopt. Beautiful work, and I bet Fosca is loving it. And I'm totally jealous of your fabulous handicraft skill. You built this in the amount of time it takes me to hammer a nail, bend it, straighten it out again, then hammer my finger.

    I would put the entrance on the smaller end with the roof angled down to give more protection from wind and rain. Also cover the entrance with waterproof material, when wet the particle board will deteriorate. Otherwise, great little house.

    I'm in the middle of building a cat house for outside of the house when our cat Nico has to wait for us while it's raining.
    I was thinking of some insulation for the floor (i.e.waterproof fabric) and was going to have some raised legs too so the cold morning floor wont affect him but it never occurred to me to put insulation in the sides and roof inbetween boardings.
    Even though I am only a beginner and have made a large birdhouse/feeder for my dad I feel your awesome skills are going to help me a GREAT deal!
