The Cat's Shelter For Now

It's been snowing, raining all day, but temps have been at or above freezing, not too cold. So the cat refuses to stay inside the house -- he stays inside this rolled-up self-inflating mattress which is inside a huge trash bag and covered with a tarp and an old coat. There's a blanket inside. The entrance is on the right side.

It's actually turned out to be a great shelter -- has held up and worked throughout several seasons. The mattress is a special portable one for camping. I could never get it to deflate and compress enough to store it away after using it, so I just rolled it and stuffed it in a bag, and that's when I said 'Hey! Cat shelter!'

It's nice that it's easily re-invented, because he tires of it eventually and abandons it. (This was the former 'Camp Festus' -- see previous pic.)
