The cats seem to be adjusting to our remodeling chaos and really enjoy living outdoors. They stay in the cattery at night and during the day roam in the back yard. Oscar, who is 16, was in hospice care mode back in early June and wasn't expected to live long enough to move outside. But here he is ~ almost completely blind, skin and bones and has what I call, "Old Cat Mind"~ thriving outside.
Obvious toll on the backyard wildlife? Daisy has caught 2 birds and once we found Oscar sitting outside the RV with a huge rat in his mouth. We are pretty sure either Daisy caught it and left it for him, or the rat was stunned somehow and Oscar ran into him and decided to carry him off. Oscar walked around the yard for awhile with the rat, ate it's head and then forgot about it. Below are some pictures of the outdoor cattery. The blue structure is a 3-tier bed unit Tom built. Two beds inside with a heater and a top perch.
