Default Heater for outdoor "cat house"

Pipe heater = not enough heat. 'heat pad' = not a good idea
around ferals. How about a 100 watt lightbulb ? They won't mind the
light, I don't think, and it will heat a small 'cat house' at least
well enough to be very appreciated.

Some insulation ( 2 " blueboard polystyrene is very cheap )
around the 'house' will help a lot, as will making the entrance small,
and sealing holes against wind.

If you can make a little 'barrier door' such that the entry is
shielded from wind, that would help. Just something at right angles
to the door, so to speak. If you want a little sketch of the idea,
email me.

A very rough grade of blanket - 'horse blanket', etc, or
equivalent like a couple of burlap sacks or such would be good.
Disposable would be a good idea - you're not going to want to let it
get anywhere near your washing machine.

Mine have discovered the joys of the new Sunbeam electric
blanky set on '7' , but they ain't feral :-)


Thanks..


And thank you :-)


This is Turtle.

Why that was nice to tell that fellow how to keep his Pusseys Warm !
Now what about the Bull Dog that was to stay with the Pusseys ?
