Man Turns Discarded Coolers Into Winter Shelters For Stray Cats

That’s why America needs a wall around New York.

We made a shelter out of a plastic storage bin (same concept) with foil insulation inside.

Had a "notched ear" feral move in and stayed in our yard for five years - "Frankie" would yowl when he caught a mouse until I came out and took a look at it. He never let us get close to him, but loved it when we talked softly to him.

He died somewhere last year - a stray lives a very hard life.
At least we were able to take the edge off for him. I miss that little guy.

Just “salt” the area with a bunch of empty cardboard boxes. Cats love boxes. Then replace them with the coolers. Pretty simple.

My cats love it when we come back from Costco. They climb into them in less than 30 seconds.

They have Grumpy cat’s mouth. Now we know why he is not on the tube so much!

So much commerce here in Vermont is done on the *honor system*; farm/roadside stands, tag sales, dairy products, etc.

It's refreshing.

But then, you still have Bernie Sanders;(

...and Ben & Jerry’s; and more than a few Representatives, [state & national] that need to be sent packing.

For the moment, Vermont does not require the registration of firearms. But the camel’s nose keeps poking itself, under the tent. We try to be watchful of the antis and legislation they try to get thru.

Takes time and patience but it is doable. My big tomcat feral took five years of coaxing, from birth, to stretched across my lap with his head on my shoulder as I type this. And he likes belly rubs.

I wish everyone on the KPL a very Blessed Christmas/Holiday season and a very Blessed 2020.

A feral mother cat brought her male kitten to our deck. We have lost cats to coyotes and didn’t want another. But he wormed his way into our hearts and we took him to the Vet and got him fixed and various shots. He spends most of the day outside and comes in every night. He faithfully uses the liter box. He is affectionate to my wife and me but will let no other human come near him We have had him for 3-1/2 years and I have never found a flea on him. He is the purrfect cat.
