Mornings have been chilly and the outside kitties need a place to eat that is warm since they refuse to come inside.
People use these brooder lamps in chicken houses to warm them so why not rig up a heated kitty shack?
We don't need to heat it all day, just while they are eating. They usually disappear into unknown parts during the daylight hours.
While we are at it, we might as well winterize their night huts. A couple layers of plastic and a mylar insulating sheet covered with a new tarp ought to do it.
The huts inside the outdoor houses plug in so they are nice and toasty all night.
One of the inside kitties is supervising the first trip into the new heated feeding hut for her silly sisters through the screen door. I suppose she is thinking how stupid the outside cats are because they won't come in the house. After all, the food is in here and it's warm all the time.
As for me, chilly or not, I am having a cold one and then taking a nap.
