Every cold-weather cat needs a house

The best thing we ever bought was a small dog house for Mooch, our
resident stray. We installed in on his beloved veranda under a table,
and furnished it with a fleece-lined cat bed, blankets and a heating
pad. These windy chilly wet days he practically lives in it, emerging
only to eat his meals. Now he's prepared for another cold Canadian
winter. Here's "the MoocHouse", as it's called...

Perhaps you too can provide some sort of shelter for strays if you
have them in your neighbourhood, if you're not already doing so. Like
us, you'll feel very rewarded if you do

Here's another photo I just took of the MoochHouse when Mooch is lying
in it. If you look closely under the tablecloth you'll see him peering
out its doorway.

And here's still another photo, this one a closeup of Mooch in his
house, taken with the flash on...

Yes, I was able to bring those up. Mooch is a darling. Is there any
chance you could have him become a house cat? Best wishes. MLB

He's so sweet! But that structure just looks like a large dog
carrier.

I love the one of Teddy as well: http://twitpic.com/iaix4

I've seen quite a few members of the same guild sitting on piles
of very expensive rugs outside Turkish carpet shops, but none with
that much personality. He has that classic antique-shop-owner's
"you can't really afford any of this, can you? bugger off" glare.

It's originally for dogs all right, Joyce, but it's not a carrier.
It's a house, as you can see in the ad for it, and it's ideal for
Mooch.

I really doubt it. Once he came into the outer hall, looked around,
but went back outside to the veranda. He seems to be a dedicated
outdoor cat, and the organization Alley Cat Allies says it's best for
them to live outside, but provided with their necessities. That way
they can live a contented life. Here's a link to what they say...
