I have some pics of the Feeding Stations I've been making and also the Cat Shelters too. On the floor of the Feeding Stations, I have been putting that "puffy" shelf liner, which keeps the bowls from slipping AND insulates the floor a bit, for the colder weather (for kitty paws!). I use the almost clear plastic ones, as they can "see" out through them, and this is important for kitties, as they are VERY watchful, for predators, all the time! For the Shelters, I have been putting the word out, for anyone who has a shipment of food from places like Omaha Steaks (an online food seller) to pass them on to me. They make GREAT Kitty Shelters for cold weather!! You just cut the door in them, with an "Exacto Knife" and then duct tape the lid on it. I put duct tape around the "door" entrance too, and line the "floor" of the shelter with old woolen cloths. I use them because I check them/replace them daily, during the winter, as I don't want them to be wet. I collect them and wash them all together, dry them and return them to the kitty Shelters the next day! Wool wicks moisture away from their bodies and keeps them warm too.
I went to Goodwill, and told them what I needed them for and they gave me a H-U-G-E bagful of old woolen items. I cut them up for rags and they have worked just GREAT! Hope this helps some of you out!
