About repurposed coolers ...I had two on the deck area in case the cats I’ve had in the past got stuck outside while at work..or they needed to get out of the elements. Not unusual for them to snuggle up inside comfortably...even when there wasn’t bad weather! HA!
That is so sweet. We have a feral we tamed, but it took years. We set up an insulated dog house on a table in the carport. Filled it w/ quilts & blankets for cold/rainy days & nights. Set up a high cocktail table next to it(my husband found it on the side of the road) with water & food. She knew when I got home from work she was getting wet food too. Several years ago when it was a brutal winter my husband caught her w/ work gloves on. She was furious, but after about 15 times of doing that she realized a warm, safe house was great! Haven’t looked back since. She LOVES the bed. And loves to sleep under my arm like a teddy bear.
