Day 35

I did some research online on how best to build an outdoor shelter for the 2 strays here, and found out that styrofoam is the best insulator because it holds in heat. The light bulb then went off, and I remembered that my husband deals with shipping of live fish and always gets great styrofoam insulated boxes at work. I asked him to bring some home and set this little spot up on the porch. The walls are almost 2 inches thick, the inside is lined with a layer of cedar woodchips, and then a layer of newspaper over that. Nice and toasty warm. The middle is just a smaller box turned on it's side to keep a roof over their food bowls to keep the snow out of them.

 
 
The cats love it :)
