Cats outside in cold: OK?

Sawz-All…it saws all things, hence the name. :winkgrin: It’s my all-time favorite power tool. It’s not as dangerous as other power tools…Mr Blue cab use it without removing body parts. :smiley:
If you want to get a cooler and try cutting the hole in it, stop by my place and I’ll cut one up for you and you can see how easy it is.

For feral cats, we have two Igloo dog houses. Each dog house has a heated pad in it and has an insulated door covering most of the opening. It’s a really easy solution to providing them a warm, dry place that is not effected by wind. If it is extremely cold, the cats usually go into one of the dog houses together which makes it even warmer. If it’s not as cold, they spread out and use both houses.

Ours camp out in the hay bales and do just fine.

Please make sure you use straw for cats outside - Hay does NOT keep them warm!!! STRAW!!!

Straw is the one that keeps them warm, hay will not insulate - Straw is super important to use instead of Hay…

Seems like a great idea for barn kitties!
