victoria

victoria a spayed garden cat in her bespoke shelter raised off the ground under the patio table :) she's fed daily. victoria is a semi feral cat that's sheltered in my garden since being a kitten. she has become more friendly recently but she's happy in the garden with her friends. she's never too far away

 

i should have cut off the wilko label! i hadn't noticed it until i viewed the photo. the shelter is an adapted cotton rope laundry basket lined underneath with a few carpet tiles, backed with a rug on what would have been the base and one handle tied on top to one horizontal strut of the patio table. then further infilled with a cushion and a couple of warm shawls. it's safely lifted off the ground using a plastic crate with a couple of carpet tiles on top of the crate

 

victoria found it, liked it and settled

 

for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...
