I am looking for ideas to keep my outdoor/barn kittehs safe from predators.
We have lost 2 in 6 months. Believe it’s a bird of prey that snagged them.
BOTH always stayed fairly close to the barn. We knew immediately they had been killed, as we knew where they were, at any time. They were just that habitual.
I have an empty stall that was actually dismantled, meaning stall front removed. It’s used for storing stuff that we can easily store elsewhere. Thinking we can make a couple “safe houses” in that stall.
Two remaining cats don’t really get along. One has lived in barn. The other stays up by house. I don’t think housing them right together is wise. Snide by side, maybe, but with some barrier in between.
Don’t want to spend a fortune.
And PLEASE don’t say “bring them indoors”. There are 4 in the house already!
We can’t have more inside.
We don’t want more outside, but cats keep getting dumped, and we can’t not feed them???
