      Yes, I was going to post a story regarding that. We had an outdoor dog and barn cat. We had horses. My father and relatives had built our house, and we had tons of leftover materials. My father built this HUGE oversized dog house, that also had a lean to for summer shade that was like 6 ft long . He had surrounded it all, the completed box and lean to, with left over cinder blocks for extra protection.
      But because we had horses, we had lots of straw, and would constant line the house with it in cold weather. Hay easily gets moldy. You always had to check before you fed the horses and ponies.
      The house was so big I was still about 10 still crawling i and reading comics to Dudley. We had two steel containers, about 1 1/2 gallons each we always kept filled with food in one, water the other, inside his house.
      We had a freakish snow storm one winter. Back before internet. You had to try and go by what the 25% accurate weather guys on TV called. It was only a foot of snow, but without a lot of trees around, the wind created drifts 3-4' high in spots. I go to dig out Dudley and out pops Sylvester, our barn cat. They had spent the night together. While I am clearing drifts, they are out frolicking in the snow. Was a wonderful sight.
      But straw is definite key. It protects from moisture, holds in air, because most is hollow, and makes for good insulation. Before that storm, I had actually boxed Dudley in, so the whole entrance to his house was filled with straw. I dont know if Sylvester was in their by then, or he snuck in. They were very friendly. Dudley often let Sylvester have first dibs if we brought out "people" food.

    LOVE THIS!!! My wife and I did something similar with our black cat visitor. Late November, and in the northeast it gets COLD, plus snow. So we lured our ‘Goldie’ in using the same food technique (Goldie because of the eyes!). Left the back sliding glass door open, and gradually she got comfortable enough to stroll over to the couch, and stayed! She was half-feral and not sure about us at first, but she acclimated pretty quickly. Yes, we saved a stray from probable freezing or becoming a dinner herself, and gained a friend!

The cat is clearly able to survive outside and prefers it that way -- for now, at least. What would be "irresponsible" and "show lack of concern" is to FORCEFULLY lock a cat indoors against their will. It completely okay to EARN the cat's trust first.

    I ordered heated home for a stray years ago, she had babies im the summer and they would come to door and eat daily. Than they never left. I put house out. No interest she got on top of it. I made boxes with plastic on them to keep dry with towels inside, they all loved the boxes. Go figure. Finally I caught the little ones and took em to vet. Mom was so tired she slept 3 days. I think stress and things. But than she came in and I put trap on floor and its like she gave up. Took her to vet. All were healthy. A woman I know took all of them home and has big barn that's heated next to.her home. They all are happy and together. The dad would come by but he was hard to catch. But 1 yr later I did. Got him adopted too. Feral cats make great pets. They are just timid and scared of humans. Usually for a reason. I find the easiest thing with any animal is to always get down to their level to be small. When you tower over them they are afraid. Cheers to this couple. Great lil home. Love the roof..💛💛💛💛💛💛😇😺

      And what I should have included was that the cat houses that you can get online that don’t need electricity are crap! There are great electric ones if you can afford AND have a power source. I need a really warm cat house that doesn’t need electricity that’s not crap. This particular cat somehow survived-20 last year! He was living under my neighbor’s porch but the landscaping people filled it in!
      And it’s too hard and frozen to dig it back open to help him out. I’ve been here 8 years and he’s been there the whole time. So I don’t really know how long he’s been surviving our cold winters. He IS A TROOPER! I lose sleep at night worrying about him but there’s no way he would ever come close enough. I really want that kid to be warm just once in his life.

      @@lindapester7094 yes I as well. But I do have specific requirements just like that. But… that’s an easy fix to weather proof it. It could always be covered in bad weather. I tried building one out of what I had available to me. It’s a good temporary emergency shelter that’s protected and waterproofed. I always have that out. However it’s not pretty, only practical.

    Yay!.....There used be many stray cats in my neighborhood, I live in a college town, and people are moving in and out all the time, and pet cats get abandoned or run away, every week. I made my backyard a safe haven for them to find food and water. I have a lot of all season plants, where the cats can find shelter under. On the coldest winter nights, I let a few sleep indoors, in my mudroom. They can come and go as they please. Once "the word got out",....(cats telling other cats where to go),....there were days when up to 7 cats, came by for a visit. I have strictly indoor cats, living with me. Thanks for building that beautiful cat shelter!

    That is an awesome and beautiful little house you made for that cat. He is very lucky. I did volunteer cat rescue for over 10 years and I never built shelters that wonderful because the cats I took care of were out in the woods. One comment I would like to make is sometimes the little houses that we build for stray cats need to have an escape entrance as well. That is because in my area there are foxes and coyotes and half bread wild dogs sometimes another animal will peep in there and see the cat and try to eat it meaning the coyote or a fox sometimes raccoons will end up in there.I always keep the food somewhat a bit away from the house so it's not to attract predators at night time. What I did do was I put another door in the back that is more like an escape hatch so if he does get trapped even by a nasty or evil human he can get out so it's mainly something he can push through and then on the outside of that I would put a little piece of thick plastic tarp so that the wind won't go through the front and out the back but if God forbid he had to escape he could push his way out the back and threw the tarp with no problem. Other than there are only being one entrance is a wonderful house. God bless you all for helping him. Dawn from Philadelphia
