Instruction
1. Perhaps, the most widespread bases for creation of cat's houses are old cardboard boxes. Such popularity is explained by the fact that rather just to cut out a small window for an entrance from a box, the lodge is ready to lay the soft basis – and. On the other hand, cardboard has the mass of shortcomings during creation of lodges for street animals. First, after the first good heavy rain such dwelling will be wet through, "will blur" and will get out of the shape. Secondly, cardboard – light material, and any wind can carry away such lodge anywhere. That to avoid it, fix a cardboard lodge, for example, on a tree, then will hardly blow off it wind. And to protect it from weather conditions, in addition sheathe the dwelling an old raincoat or an oilcloth. Inside for softness put foam rubber or any dense fabric that to an animal it was comfortable to sleep.
2. The design made of wooden bars is considered stronger or it is possible to use an unnecessary wooden box also. The tree can become wet too, but it "will not part" from water as cardboard, and will dry out over time. Turn a box so that one of sides became its basis, then the open top of a box will serve as a peculiar entrance to the dwelling. Fix a box on a tree by means of a cord. If you want to place it on the earth, then in addition beat to a box of a leg 10-20 cm long that further they could be thrust to the earth, thereby having strongly fixed the house.
3. From the case of the old unnecessary monitor the fine lodge can also turn out. Previously pull out all interiors, having left only the case. If desired you can also decorate the house with thematic drawings or make the special inscription allowing passersby to understand that it is the cat's house, but not stuff which needs to be thrown out. Do not forget to put inside foam rubber or previously sewed soft small pillow from pieces of unnecessary fabric or old clothes.
4. By the same principle it is possible to make a lodge of old loudspeakers. Again leave only the case of the loudspeaker and equip it with the soft basis inside.
5. It is possible to make the great cat's house of the old turned wicker basket also. The truth it will approach more as the facilitated summer option which will need to be fixed or on a tree, or to nail up, for example, to a fence.
6. The old carpet or its scraps perfectly will be suitable for creation of a cat's lodge. Cut out two rectangular bases. One will serve as a roof, another as a bottom. Pull together the lower part with a twine or a wire so that it turned out the convenient basis (you look on the picture). Attach the top part to lower by means of liquid nails, the stapler or threads.
