Title: Catpod - make your own outdoor cat house
Post by: Mark on January 22, 2008, 09:01:10 AM
Maybe some people remember a while back I found this on the internet. He said they weren't commercially available. He had looked into get them made but the backer dropped out. He sent me another email yesterday with a "new improved" version you can make yourself. He gave me permission to post on purrs.

you can also do a similar thing with a big insulation box that you store frozen food in. These are sometimes given away free (freecycle). They are better for insulation but need to be weighed down!

Dont think much of the use it as a cat carrier bit, one bop through the cat flap and crazed cat is gone. Bit of clear plastic is nothing when faced with the needle man   :scared:
