I Built a Cozy Cat Shelter for Strays
Ever spotted a shivering stray cat and felt that pang of guilt? Same. So, I decided to make a DIY insulated cat house, and honestly, it’s easier than assembling IKEA furniture. Grab two plastic storage bins (one big, one smaller), some styrofoam, and straw. Cut a cat-sized door in both bins, line the big one with styrofoam (floor, walls, and lid), then nest the smaller bin inside. Add more insulation, pop on the lid, and weigh it down so it doesn’t blow away.
Set it somewhere quiet, off the ground (cinder blocks work), and fill it with straw (not blankets—trust me, wet blankets = cold cats). Toss in a toy, sprinkle some catnip, and leave food inside. Water goes outside, unless you want a soggy disaster.
Now, every time I see a cat curled up inside, I feel like a tiny hero. 10/10 would recommend for instant karma and warm fuzzies.
