How can I design a heated house for my outdoor cat?

Dec 31, 2007 by Bec | Posted in Other - Pets

I would like to design a small house with a light bulb or other heating device that is powered off solar energy and has thermostat controlled. Any idea on the type of thermostat to use? Any help finding a resource for such a design?
Of course I'd like to bring the cat in, but she is a ferrel cat and is FIV+. I already have two indoor cats, so infecting them is not an option. Also, she is wild (ferrel) and won't adapt well to the indoors.

It sounds like a unique and novel idea...but may I ask if it would not just be more simple to make the outdoor cat into an indoor cat and keep him safe and warm in your home?

Did you know that, in addition to the cold, your outdoor cat faces many hazards? It can get hit by a car, attacked by other cats, dogs or wild animals, be poisoned, fall victim to cruel humans who torture helpless animals, get lost, contract diseases (that it brings home to you), become infested with parasites (which it can also bring home to you), it can caught in traps set for other animals and may become injured or suffer before being released, and - if not spayed or neutered - can contribute to the overpopulation of feral/homeless cats.

Please read "The Great Outdoors is No Place for Cats" and make the decision to give your kitty a safe, warm, loving indoor life: http://www.abcbirds.org/abcprograms/poli cy/cats/materials/hazards.pdf

13.09.11

BROOKS, Maine — After about an hour of sometimes heated contend Monday night over whether to accept the gift of a dilapidated riches in the middle of town, when the votes were counted at the Brooks inimitable town meeting, residents discovered they were deadlocked.

With 36 in favor of accepting the cumshaw to 36 against, the question of the gift has not yet been settled, and the Board of Selectmen will right discuss next steps during a regular meeting.

“The town’s divided,” said Selectman Arthur Butler after the conjunction had adjourned.

The former Delmont Clark property is a large, decrepit structure with attached barn that is located on a .75-acre lot at the intersection of Routes 7 and 139. It has been unused for several years, although Russell and Andrea Read purchased it from Clark’s heirs with the object of developing it in some way.

The Reads are relocating to Kuwait, and when they offered the house to the selectmen, the billet did not wish to make a decision without hearing from town residents.

Johnny's Rants: Electric Radiant Slab Heated Cat House

by Johnny Douglass

We recently rescued a cold stray cat that was hanging around our home at Edisto Island. I wont go into the ugly details of that story but it reminded me of one of my most clever and successful inventions, the electric radiant-slab-heated cat house. This should be shared with all humankind for the benefit of our animal friends, or at least the ones we keep as pets but don't let into the house. The illustration above shows how you can build this home for your animal companion. You can of course modify this with your own ideas to fit the size of your pet. Here's what I did:
