Wolfie is getting a new home.

Wolfie the stay cat who adopted me is getting a new home. I don’t mean he’s leaving me, I’d never let that happen, he’s part of our family now.  I mean I’ve ordered a new bespoke outside cat shelter for him.  Last year, after being unable to find his owner despite extensive poster distribution I made him a temporary shelter out of a cardboard box. It was pretty neat if I do say so myself and kept him lovely and warm in the cold winter months. William got me a temperature device which I could place inside the shelter and read from the outside and even on the coldest days it would be about 21 degrees in there.

It really was only a temporary shelter though as I had hoped by this time that he would have become tame enough for me to handle him and introduce him to Lyra my inside cat.  Unfortunately, I don’t know what has happened to him in the past but after a year he has only just started to give me a friendly headbutt when I put his food down. He has let me stroke his head once for a couple of times and even then he became suspicious very quickly and tried to swipe me because I was lingering too long by his food.  So as Autumn is just around the corner again I have decided to give him a more permanent and bigger outside cat chalet.  I am finalising the design now with Mark at Woodenart the company who are going to make it but it will be based on this one here – only bigger with a dividing panel.

I hope Wolfie’s likes it.  I do feel for him being outside all the time but I guess he likes his freedom and we can only take it one step at a time.
