Introduction: House for Stray Cats
new england..blizzard '15 ..we noticed that the stray cats that wander the neighborhood were digging themselves out from under porches and sheds and shivering..im not a cat person at all but seeing them so cold and helpless broke my heart, so we decided to make a little nest for the stray we feed and call "boxhead"
Step 1: Get a Nice Sturdy Box
you'll need a nice sized box either made out of wood or cardboard
Step 2: Materials
box
scissors
cardboard
old pillow
staple gun
drill
Step 3: Make a Doorway
i cut out a little door just big enough for a cat
Step 4: Insulate the Inside Walls
i found a old pillow that i ripped the stuffing from. layed the stuffing out evenly the staple gunned the stuffing down. then i cut pieces of cardboard and layed them down over the stuffing and staple gunned the pieces down
Step 5: Legs and Hinges
i added legs with wheels which i forgot to take a photo of and added a door on top for easier access while feeding..i also add a latch hook to keep the door closed
Step 6: Bedding and Food
i lined the bottom of the box with tons of scrap cardboard pieces,added the remainder of my stuffing then added a platform for food and water
Step 7: Add Food and Watch Em Come Running
put this out on my porch and covered it with a tarp for my own peace of mind but you might wanna add a tarp if you make yours out of cardboard..thanks
