Ecology is the science of relationships between organisms
and their environments. When looking for cats, people have to consider a
variety of aspects, such as the natural habitat or the environment. To make
sure the environment at home is the safest for cats, owners have to make
available certain things such as first aid kit for cats and play items for
their recreational purpose.
Several people assume that since domestic and wild cats
get enough water and food, cats may survive in cold climate because of their
thick coats. Although, studies say that in harsh climate, shelter is preferred
the most over any other needs. Without shelter, wild and domestic cats develop
risk of possible dangers such as frozen paws and ears. Severe climate may harm
their respiratory system too. Particularly, in the rains, fur of cats get wet
and may cost them their lives.
Types of Shelter:
Styrofoam Cooler Shelter:
A general Styrofoam cooler may provide shelter to cats.
This type of shelter is available at grocery stores and in departmental stores
as well. It is also available at restaurants that obtain shipments of meat and
fish filled in Styrofoam containers.
Plastic Bin Shelter:
Such type of shelter needs two plastic bins of Rubber made
type, and they need to have lids of which one has to be big enough so that the
lid and smaller bin fit inside it properly. Other than this, some straw for
bedding along with a Styrofoam insulation of 4 by 8 foot is required.
Temporary shelter:
An abandoned or homeless cat may survive in a shelter made
of commonly available items. A strong container or a heavyweight-shipping crate
built with plastic and having resistance to bad climate is the ideal one.
Insulation and Bedding:
There are other ways for providing shelter to domestic
cats. An insulating stuff inside the shelter house of cats gives their body the
required heat and warmth. It is better to use straw for this purpose. Owners
may avoid using towels, blankets or newspapers that suck the body heat of cats.
In addition, owners need to change the insulating material for keeping it dry.
In cold climate, cat owners may use a Mylar blanket to
line the floor or the interior walls of the shelter. Mylar imitates the body
heat of cats. Mylar blankets are available at cheap prices. One more type of
blanket that is available in pet stores is the Flexi-Mat Purr Pad.
Other Options to Buy Shelters:
Cat owners who have no time, skill or liking to build
shelter for their cats, there is an alternative. Recently, pet stores offer cat
shelters insulated with wood of superior quality. Cat owners willing to buy it
may go through the web site of the store, for checking the price list or visit
the nearest store.

apartment, a mansion, camper or a houseboat, they get used to the environment
easily. However, basic shelter requirements of cats include a litter box and
