I have to visit family in Mexico for 3 days in about 2 weeks and im worried about my ferals. I feed them everyday and they're only accustomed to me. Only problem is that I always have to go searching for them so i can feed them; my backyard is just grass, with all the trees cut down (b/c of my neighbor). so there's no real place for them to sleep and be protected from rain, sunlight, or dogs. I've been trying to work on making custom houses for them but I never have the resources at the right time. I live in Texas and so far it's been humid and hot and the cats don't rest under the improvised houses i made by my porch. They rest by the cutdown tree and where there's shade, leaves and cool soil. I've been looking into catios, but i don't know if they would like to be in those structures when there's nothing cool for them to lay on.
If you look closely there's a tuxedo cat laying by the cut down tree on the left (the one with leaves). There's shade, cool soil (it rained), and leaves
The backyard looks horrible, and i really been trying to convince my parents to help me with some projects, not only for the cats but for home improvement purposes.
What im looking for help in is for resources, tips on where i should build something for the cats, something where they'll actually sleep in and relax during the Texas heat and cold winters. Along with that an outdoor litter box for them
note: I just notice that in these hot days, they really like to lay on soil that is cool due to previous rain
This has been my top priority, i can't go to Mexico without feeling worried that my cats will wander away and die
I would sincerely appreciate any comments
