    Bottom of the garden

    , you can now see a cathouse !!!



    I bought this with some of my christmas money and filled it with straw (As suggested on Alley cat website). It is not filled to the brim but as you can tell by the straw on the floor someone has been in

    It wasn't any of my cats, as they have been locked in to be safe from the New Eves fireworks.

    But we have been away so we haven't seen if it was Big Daddy (i.e. the massive intact black & white cat I have been spotting around recently)

    I have a big cement slab behind our shed and I plan to set this into the ground so the cathouse is not sat straight on the grass.

    Hopefully Big Daddy will use the shelter. I actually saw him trying to sleep on the frosty ground next to our hedge two days ago and my heart melted.

    Well, at least he has a shelter if he needs it.

    Just hang out the vacancy sign and I am sure the cold and tired will gladly use this fine shelter.

    With a wonderful shelter like that I suppose the word will spread soon among the stray cats...
    That's a great idea...money well spent!!!

    What a great cat shelter. What an unselfish thing you did by taking some of your Christmas money to help shelter the cats from the cold. Bless you.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    I do hope Big Daddy finds/uses the shelter.

    Even if Big Daddy never uses the shelter, at least it is there just in case someone else does need it.

    I love it! What a neat cathouse for the outside kitties. I hope Big Daddy is snuggly warm in it (or any other weary travelers).

    Such a very nice thing for you to do!

    What a great cathouse. This is such a nice thing for you to do for all of the homeless cats. I'm sure the word will spread very fast.

    What great thing to do.

    I am happy to hear that is being used too. Hopefully it is Dig Daddy.

    Well, whomever it is, the cathouse was a very nice thing.

    That's a great cathouse - and already in use. I'm so glad you put it there.

    It's a very good idea to put the cement under it so the wood won't rot. Perhaps you can also give it a layer of impregnate.

    We built 2 houses for our stray cats some years back and they moved in immediately and soon decided on which of them was theirs.

    Please let us know if you see who has moved in.
