Feral Cat Shack Planter
by

(IC: homeowner)
A feral cat in our area is doing a good job controlling mice, she inspired me to do something for her.. A shelter if she wants one.
I'm not a person who has much spare time, but wanted to encourage a local cat, because she does a good job. I wanted to throw something together that wouldn't require a lot of time, because I get home after dark and am nearly always tired. I rummaged for stuff I already had, a plastic trash can, paint bucket, screws, pl liquid nail adhesive.. And purchased 3 2x4 cedar boards and some cedar fence boards .. ( coulda used pine fence boards.. Would have been less expensive)
Made a stand. Needs reinforcement ..
Added paint bucket
Cross pieces and trash can
Sideboard on trash can from cedar fence board.. Added board on top .. Which completes the complete frame .. Added roof boards and random board to place plant buckets on or decorations ..
Feral cat testing the new digs.. The next evening, added boards ( same cedar fence board material ) around bucket.. Do e .. Except added a truck floor mat and some padding inside. ..might need a home made cat door curtain But am going to see
Enjoyed the project?
