Kitty Beds...

Two of our rescued kitties have to live outside as they don't understand what a litter box is for.  They have always lived outside.  And one is semi feral anyways. 

Living in Tennessee, we do have some winter months.  The cold can be very harsh.  I hated to leave them in the freezing temps with no way to keep warm.  The older they get, the more vulnerable they are to the cold effects.  OK, just call them spoiled...

During the summer months I look for electric blankets at thrift stores.  I have two cat houses here.  The cats don't get along well.  Fluffy is a bit of a bully.  So we turn one cat house backwards, much like a duplex with one door in front, and one in back.  We padded each with an old quilt.  Then we spread the blanket evenly in both and put the lids back on.  When the weather is really cold we turn the blanket on for them.  They love it! 

Here is Peaches snuggled up in hers:

I can't get Chevy to go into anything that resembles a carrier. He has to stay outside because I'm allergic... So I put a cardboard box out and use a blanket to partially cover the opening and pad the inside. He uses it occasionally... or we put him in the garage.
