We have a barn cat, Annie, that came with the farm. She lives free outside all the time. She does not like to be held nor caged, but loves to be pet and left wild. We have a pet carrier left outside for her to sleep in as she likes. But then the cold and snow came and we had to rethink her digs. So we insulated her plastic carrier, added several old quilts, wrapped the thing in plastic sheeting. We put in a quilted cat bed with a hot pad. The hot pad is one of those good ones that stays on. We set it to medium heat and placed it under her bed. Then we had to protect the hot pad from the elements. So we wrapped the cord in pipe insulation and put the pad selector in a Ziploc plastic bowl with a lid, worked great. Annie spent the night in her new heated digs then left in the morning. We saw her paw prints in the snow. It might not look pretty but it keeps her warm and dry.
