Raccoon proof outdoor cat feeder Raccoon proof outdoor cat or dog feeder

Instructions on how to make a raccoon proof outdoor cat/dog feeder cover that can be constructed with basic tools and readily available supplies. Also watch the video of the raccoons trying to get into the feeders and one of our outdoor cats checking things out.

Very nice! Do they keep bugs out pretty well (ants)?

[@Matt-A]

It doesn’t keep ants out. We sprinkle diatomaceous earth around the feeder periodically to keep the ants away.

[@CatalpaCreekFarm]

@Matt-A that is a good idea...I have some I will use that suggestion. Thank you

Why did u put the feeder up on the table?

[@Matt-A]

We had to screw it down to something to keep the raccoons from knocking it over and didn’t want to screw it to the deck.

[@gingerbeane416]

Oh ok
Do the cats jump up to eat? I have the same problem with my outdoor cats
The racoon are terrible

[@Matt-A]

@@gingerbeane416 yes. The feeder is offset so they can sit next to it.
