Plastic Bin Cat Shelter

Use plastic bins to create a winter shelter for outdoor cats! Get a large plastic bin and a small plastic bin that fits inside the large bin. Cut off the bottom of a plastic container or small paint bucket. Trace the edge of the container on one small side of the bins and cut out the holes. Fit the container into the holes and use duct tape to secure the container in place on both bins and to cover any cut edges of the plastic. Pour enough straw into the small bin for the cat to use as bedding and also to push in front of the doorway once its inside, then put the lid on the small bin. Fill the space between the bins and on top of the small bin with more straw, then attach the lid on the large bin. Set the shelter somewhere that the cats can easily find it and set a food bowl next to the shelter.
